AMHS Weekly Update

As we approach the end of another successful school year at Arabia Mountain High School, I want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication to our students' success.

Your involvement has been instrumental in creating a vibrant and supportive community here at AMHS. We deeply value the time and effort you invest in our school, which is why we have established the requirement for parents/guardians to complete 10 hours of volunteer service each year to maintain enrollment.

Whether you have volunteered your time at school events, supported our programs through donations, or contributed in any other way, your efforts have made a significant difference in the lives of our students.

As we approach the end of the school year, I encourage you to take a moment to review your volunteer hours for this year. If you would like to check the number of volunteer hours you have earned, please reach out to Ms. Ham in the counseling center. She will be happy to assist you in ensuring that your contributions are accurately recorded.

Once again, thank you for your continued support and dedication. We look forward to seeing you during the 24-25 school year at Arabia Mountain High School, where together, we will continue to nurture the success of our students.

As we celebrate Mental Health Month, DeKalb County School District reaffirms our commitment to prioritizing the well-being of our students, staff, and community. Now more than ever, it's crucial to foster open conversations, provide support, and promote self-care practices.

Parent involvement has been the key to the continued success of the students at Arabia Mountain High School. Each year Arabia Mountain High School parents/guardians must complete 10 hours of volunteer service hours each year to maintain enrollment at AMHS. Parents can volunteer at the school or school events to earn their volunteer hours or provide donations of $105.00 ($10.50 = 1 volunteer hour). If you would like to check the umber of Volunteer Hours that you have earned this school year, please reach out to Ms. Ham in the counseling center. It is the responsibility of the coach/sponsor of the organization to provide the list of their parent volunteers and hours to Ms. Ham at the conclusion season or event. Parents need to be sure they are signing in at all events to ensure an accurate account of their volunteer hours. Please click the file below to see some of the ways you can earn your volunteer hours. We look forward to seeing you at AMHS!!!!
