- 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.
- "Do
you often find yourself hurriedly flipping through page after page of a
book at a late hour? Do you sometimes stealthily hide
the book you want to be reading inside of
the book you have to be reading in class? Does
your perfect weekend consist of a book or a notebook and pencil,
a cup of tea, and some snacks? If any/ all of this applies to you, or you
want to hear more, come join us at the new ARHS Literary Club! We
will have a fabulous time having exciting discussions about books,
and for those interested, writing from fun, creative prompts. And we'll
have snacks!! The next meeting is on Monday, November 5 at 3
p.m. in Rm. 174 (Mr. Despres) If you’re interested but can't make
it/have more questions, email Anu at sitaramana@arps.org, Amina at mednicoffmisraa@arps.org or Mr. Despres at despresm@arps.org."
- Class of 2021: There is going to
be a class meeting on Monday in room 117 at 3pm
- In honor of National Write
Your Novel Month (NaNoWriMo), we will be holding weekly writing sessions
after school for anyone who wants to get together and write to reach a
self-determined writing goal by the end of the month. Work on
whatever type of writing you want - no assignments, no reading out loud,
and no criticism. We'll be meeting in Room 141 on Thursday, November
8th after school and every Tuesday in November thereafter. See Mary
Gorman or Amanda Lewis for details
- For fans or anyone
interested in Magic the Gathering!
Do you enjoy games of luck and skill? Enjoy collectibles? Whether you've
never heard of the trading card game or if you've been playing for years
come to Magic club Mondays after school at 3:00 in room 241 for some
casual fun. Contact Mr. Scherff or Logan Flory for more details.
- 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!
- 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!!!!: 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.
- JETS Club: Students interested in a Fun and Challenging
Engineering Competition: It’s time to start organizing this spring's

Blauner in Room 223 after school THIS WEEK.
