AHS Drama presents....
This isn't your high school Shakespeare! Well, actually it IS your high school's Shakespeare. Come support your community's high school production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", like you've never seen before! Shakespeare's best comedy is reimagined in the early 20th century in the backdrop of an abandoned circus, where fairies cast mischievous spells on lovers, heroes, and rude mechanicals. Thanks to the success of last year's sold-out musical, "Mamma Mia", we were able to acquire special equipment that will allow our actors to fly. Gone are tights and the traditional Shakespeare formality. Come see fairies fly and do battle on stage as they carry out the plans of the gods on the foolish mortals, and leave wondering if it were all just a fantastic dream.

new cell phone expectations
Please take a moment to review the attached letter (Click Here for Expectations) to learn more about our philosophy and approach to dealing with Cell Phone Use by Students on our campus. These policy changes have been under review and re-construction for the past two years. We recently surveyed classroom teachers about the impact of distractions during instruction and more than 70 percent indicated cell phone use during class is a problem too frequently. Effective Oct 1, students will be expected to silence their phones and store them in their backpacks or in a classroom caddie system as directed by the classroom teacher. We are discouraging students from keeping phones on their person during instructional time to avoid the distraction of text messages, social media and other distractions. Students can still use their cell phones for educational engagement under the direction of their classroom teacher. Systems will vary based upon course content, grade level and the established expectations of the classroom teacher. Consequences for not following the policy are clearly stated and will be shared with students prior to the Oct 1 effective date. We will meet with kids during an extended 5th period later this month to ensure we all understand. As noted in the letter linked above, we have a "Plan, not a Ban" at AHS. Some schools have elected full bans on cell phones, but we do not believe this serves our students best in their preparation for life beyond AHS. Nearly 97% of our teachers believe we share a responsibility as an educational institution to teach our kids proper cell phone use as they work toward career readiness. It's all about proper time, place and application. Thus, we will do all we can to help them mature, learn and grow into responsible, prepared adults. Lastly, we want to support every classroom environment by increasing student engagement, improving interpersonal communication and building more opportunity for distraction-free learning periods for our kids. Please support our efforts and review the policy expectations with your student.
attendance message
Stress the importance of attending school to your child
It’s important to stress how important it is for your teen to attend school each day. A parent’s job is to go to work and provide for their family. A child’s job is to go to school each day. School is really your child’s first and most important job. They are learning about more than just math and reading. They are learning how to show up for school on time ever day, so that when they graduate and get a job, they’ll know to show up for work on time every day – just like you do.
CHARACTER STRONG
Each month moving forward we will communicate a character trait we hope to instill in Every Eagle. For the Month of October, our character trait is Patience.

A Note to Parents
Arlington High School creates a safe and caring environment for students
The teachers and staff at Arlington High School want to make sure our school is a safe and caring place for your child. As stated in the school board policies and procedures and in our family handbook, harassment, intimidation and bullying will not be tolerated in our school. Our teachers and staff go through training at the beginning of the year to recognize the signs of harassment, intimidation and bullying and report such behavior accordingly.
If a student feels harassed or threatened in some way, they can make a complaint at the school. Informal reports may also be made to any staff member. Such complaints will be appropriately investigated and consistently handled. Students may also submit a report using the SafeSchools Tip Line that’s available on the front page of our school’s website.
Your child’s safety and well being is a priority for us. We want them to thrive in a positive environment that promotes learning. Please call our main office if you have any questions.
