Schedule Change Requests
Tomorrow, Monday, Aug 22 is the last day to request a schedule change. Please send students directly to their counselor to see if a change is possible.
Class Visits
Counselors will give grade-level presentations in classes from Aug 30-Sept 9. Your student will hear suggestions and tips for maximizing their experience this year. We will review graduation progress and remaining requirements at each grade level. All Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors will receive a copy of their transcript. Juniors and Seniors will also receive information about Naviance and college applications.
Individual Senior Appointments
Beginning mid-Sept, counselors will be meeting individually with Seniors to discuss post-high school plans. Those applying to colleges will walk through the process of requesting required documents for their applications. -

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.

Wellness Center
The AHS Wellness team would like to welcome everyone to a new school year! With this new year there have been some changes to the Wellness Center including a new coordinator, Patrick Turner, and new Wellness Center hours.
While new to AHS, Patrick/Mr.Turner is not new to the district. He’s been dedicated to supporting the success of students in the district for 5 years as a school counselor at Campolindo. Patrick is a great addition to our team and looks forward to continuing to provide support for students in his new role.
Last year, usage of the Wellness Center was extremely successful, which means we were also extremely busy. In hopes of better serving our students, new Wellness Center hours are listed here. By modifying our hours, we are able to collaborate more and increase our programming and planning, which allows us to be proactive in reaching more AHS students.
As always, if you know of any AHS students that may need additional mental health support here on campus, please submit a referral to the Wellness Center using this link.
The success of Wellness Centers would not be possible without the continued support of parents, families and community partners. Thanks for all that you do in prioritizing mental health for our students!

LPIE also had its first board meeting this week and it was our privilege to be able to honor our LPIE Business Partners who have already pledged more than $240,000 to support our Lafayette public schools. We approved our 2022-23 Budget and are pleased to announce a very successful start to our Annual Giving Campaign.
