Arabia Mountain High School invites all parents, guardians, and students to participate in the Georgia School Climate Survey, which is now open. This annual survey plays a crucial role in helping us understand the experiences and perceptions of our school community, guiding our efforts to create a positive and supportive environment for all.

For Parents and Guardians: Your feedback is invaluable. Please take a few moments to complete the parent survey by clicking on the link provided in the attachment. The survey is brief, confidential, and designed to capture your insights about the school’s climate and overall performance.

For Students: The Georgia School Climate Student Survey will be administered on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, during homeroom. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their perspectives and help us ensure their voices are heard in shaping the future of Arabia Mountain High School.

Your participation is essential in helping us maintain our commitment to excellence. Together, we can ensure that Arabia Mountain High School continues to be a place where students thrive and achieve at the highest levels.

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.
