We have an exciting week ahead of us with Back to School Night, Thursday, and all our athletic events starting up this week, in addition to the grade 12 student wall painting.

URGENT: Remind Messages (UPDATED)
As you know, last week we sent several messages to the community using the Remind app. Overall, the communication worked well, but a few people have asked to be removed from future communication.
Please Note that there is not an option to opt out of receiving urgent messages using the Remind app. Urgent messages are only shared when a serious incident has occured at the school that requires your attention, even if no action is required on your end.
Sunday messages, for instance, will not be sent using an urgent designation. You may opt out of receiving mass communications by changing your settings in ParentVue; however, we strongly suggest that you do not opt out of receiving communications so you can stay informed about what is happening at AEHS.
To start using Remind, we encourage you to watch the Getting Started with Remind Video and review Remind's Parent Web Guide to get more specific tips on how to use Remind.
Student Absences (REPEAT)
All students must submit an excused note from a parent, guardian, or caretaker within three days of the absence so the absence can be excused. Please note that the excused note is for the absence, and does not excuse students from completing work missed. Notes should be submitted to Ms. Debra_L_Gedling@mcpsmd.org.
Student Parking (UPDATED)
Requests for parking permits has closed. Moving forward, students who do not have a permit to park on campus should not do so, this includes on campus along the curb/sidewalk new Newport Mill Park or on the blacktop near the portables. Students who do not have a parking permit should not park on campus at all during the school day.
Only students with approved parking permits will be allowed to park on campus. This means students should not attempt to park along the sidewalk near Newport Mill Park or in the back of the building. Montgomery County Park Police have asked that we inform students that Newport Mill Park should not be used for student parking. Please do not park in the park, or in the neighborhood in permitted areas.
For questions, please contact Ms. Alyson_L_Gordon@mcpmd.org, assistant principal, or Mr. Victor_M_Valerio@mcpsmd.org.
Student ID Badges (REPEAT)
ID BADGES SHOULD BE WORN AT ALL TIMES
All students will receive a school issued ID badge. Students will need to show their ID to receive or use school services, including purchasing lunch. Students who lose, break, or deface their ID’s will have to pay a replacement fee of $5.00 per new ID badge issued. Students entering the school building after the school day has began will need to sign in at the main office using their ID badges. Students can also access their ID badge QR codes using a smart phone and the StudentVue app.
