Parents and students, please mark your calendars!

Our Georgia Milestones End-of-Course (EOC) assessments will take place April 29 – May 9, 2025.

Students enrolled in the following courses will participate in testing during this window:

• Algebra: Concepts & Connections (C&C)

• American Literature

• Biology

• U.S. History

As a reminder, the Milestones assessment accounts for 20% of the student’s overall course grade. It is essential that students are well-prepared for these important exams.

We encourage all students to start preparing early! Study guides and resources are available on our school website here:

Let’s work together to ensure every student is ready for success!

📢 Attention Students & Families!
As we approach the Georgia Milestone End-of-Course (EOC) testing window, we want to remind everyone of the critical policy regarding cell phones and personal electronic devices.

📵 During testing, students are not permitted to have cell phones or electronic devices in the testing room for any reason.
This includes devices in pockets, backpacks, desks, or on their person. We are disconnecting to reconnect to maintain a secure and distraction-free environment.

🚨 If a phone or smart device including watches and glasses are found during testing:

• The test could be invalidated, and no score will be reported.

• The End-of-Course test won’t count—impacting 20% of the final course grade.

• It may be reported as a testing irregularity or security breach, which can affect school accountability.

• Devices may be retained by school administration for up to 10 days while the state investigates for potential cheating.

Help us maintain the integrity of our testing environment — leave phones and other smart devices (watches and glasses) outside the room!

Let’s work together for a smooth and successful testing season!

Last week, we conducted several tardy sweeps to address students' lack of urgency in getting to class on time. Timeliness is essential for student success and for maintaining a positive learning environment. We encourage you to speak with your student about the importance of being punctual to all classes. Please note that we will continue conducting random tardy sweeps.

Chronic tardiness is a violation of the DCSD School Choice Attendance Policy and may result in disciplinary action, including the potential removal of your student from the academic program at Arabia Mountain High School. We greatly appreciate your support in reinforcing this important expectation with your student.

On the last Friday of each month, AMHS students earn a Spirit Day when they are able to follow school rules; for example get to class on time, dress in the AMHS Uniform, pick up after themselves in the cafeteria, etc.. Spirit Days are a privilege and not a right. Students can wear black or blue jeans (no holes, rips or tears and no sweatpants or leggings) with a Spirit Shirt to school on Spirit Days. In an effort to promote school spirit and have more students participate in our Spirit Days, we will be selling Spirit Shirts during lunches this week. Parents are welcome to purchase shirts as well. The cost of each shirt is $20 and payments can be made in cash only. Students who choose not to wear a Spirit Shirt with school appropriate jeans should wear their school uniform to school.

Parents can connect to our new learning management system, Canvas. To access your student's Canvas account, you must first create an account and log in through a desktop or laptop device. Below is a tutorial link to help walk you through the process of gaining parental access. 💡Once connected, parents are able to view their student's courses. This will help you to view your student's course material and help them to meet deadlines.
