- Some Important Reminders from the ARHS Attendance Office:
The high school has been receiving a number of messages on its full-day absence line from parents excusing their child’s tardiness. Please note that the absence line (413-362-1718) is to be called ONLY for full day absences. To summarize our policy, A student who is tardy must bring in a note from a parent to be time stamped by the Main Office and signed by a Dean. Students who are being dismissed early also must bring a note from a parent to be turned in at the Main Office and time stamped. In addition, students must always sign in on the Tardy or Early Dismissal sheet in the Main Office with their full name and time of arrival/departure.
*Telephone calls to excuse a tardy or early dismissal will not be accepted. If the information is left on the absence line
We appreciate your adhering to these procedures. All of this information can be found starting on page 1 of the Student Handbook. This handbook is on the main Amherst/Pelham Regional High School Website under the Parents/Guardians tab. Please Read this documentation as it contains a lot of information with regard to attendance and attendance reporting.
*Please note that it takes 24 hours to reconcile the sign in sheets and notes, so no changes are recorded in PowerSchool until the next day.
- This
Friday, 11/2, there will be a gathering in Ms. Iverson's room, room 169,
after school to unpack this weekend's anti-semitic hate crime together, to
find comfort in our community, and to talk about what it means to be an
American Jew today. We will also discuss further action that we can take
here at ARHS to combat anti-semitism. We welcome all students, regardless
of religious background and encourage non-Jews to attend, as non-Jews play
a significant role in this matter. There will be snacks!
- ATTENTION
NHS STUDENTS! Remember
there is an NHS meeting at 3 p.m. TODAY! November 1st,
2018 in Room 117
- SENIORS!: You will have until
Friday, November 16th to turn in senior portraits if you would like them
in the yearbook! Email them to garrityc@arps.org or bring hard copies/USBs to Guidance! Photos
must be standard portrait size, taken by yourself and showing your face,
and must be appropriate.
- SENIORS!!: Register for the December 1 SAT and the December 8 ACT
by this Friday, November 2 to avoid late fees. These are the last
test dates that you can use for fall 2019 admission.
- SENIORS!!!: You can have your application fee to Westfield State
University waived if you apply before Thanksgiving. If you are planning to
apply to Westfield, applying by November 21 will save you some money!
Don’t forget to put Westfield in Naviance and to request a transcript.
- SENIORS!!!!: Today, for Advisory, all seniors should report directly to
the auditorium for an assembly. Senior advisors should also report to the auditorium.
- SENIORS!!!!!: IMPORTANT
TASK! PLEASE DO THIS TODAY!!!! There are many applications listed in Naviance
with no deadlines indicated, which could result in your school application
materials being submitted late. Please check to ensure that
each of your colleges has a deadline associated with it, particularly those
to which you are applying early or ones with special program
deadlines. This information is crucial for a timely submission
process, and necessary information for your counselor and teachers who are
writing your recommendations. If you have a school(s)
without a deadline, it means you have chosen an incorrect application type
(i.e. ED instead of EA, EA instead of priority, RD instead of
rolling). The only application type which will not generate a date
is a rolling deadline, and for those schools, you need to see Ms. Garrity
in Guidance or Mrs. Tracy in room 309 to manually input the date by which
you need your materials submitted.
