Schedule Change Requests
If your student would like to request a change in their schedule, please use this googleform. Your student must sign into their AHS student account on google (auhsd email and network password) to access the form.
 
Counselors will be working on schedule changes from Wednesday, Aug 10 through Monday, Aug 22. If we are able to accommodate the request, we will post the student’s name on the Counseling Office window. If students see their name, they can come in and pick up their new schedule! If they don't, please be patient. We will try to accommodate as many changes as we can. Students should follow the schedule they have until they get notified of a change.

Does your student need to have an EPIPEN available?  If so, we need new medical documentation each calendar year. Please fill this form out completely and include both parent AND physician signatures and return to me.

General Administration Announcements

There are a couple changes for the food services program this school year. Students are still eligible to receive two free meals a day, but please note important changes outlined below.

Fast Five for Food

1. ALL students must have their ID card when picking up food in the cafeteria.  Quick Tip: Students can have a picture of their ID card on their phone!
2. The cafeteria will have three choices for food options: breakfast, brunch and lunch.
3. Students will choose from two of the three food options a day - breakfast, brunch or lunch. For example, a student can pick up breakfast and brunch, but will then have to pay for lunch.
4. Students can purchase a third meal option or a la cart items by loading money on their ID cards through our Titan system. 
5. No cash accepted!
