If the first week at Animas High School was any
indication as to how 2012-13 is going to go, then we’re in for a fantastic
school year! Please take a moment to review these important updates:

2012-2013 Enrollment Remains Open at
AHS
We’ve made it through week one and solidified our
class rosters. Based upon these efforts and a summer remodel that left us with
a little more classroom space, AHS is still inviting students to register with
us! Do you know someone who’d be a great fit at AHS?
Enrollment for the 2012-13 school year continues
at Animas High School. Students and families looking to enroll at AHS should visit www.animashighschool.com
and complete an online intent
to enroll form. Enrollment will remain
open until October 1 or until the school has reached capacity for 2012-13.

enrollments for a limited number of openings in
our 9th, 10th and 11th grade classes. For more

Ospreys Recuperating
Both AHS administrators, Michael Ackerman and
Jake Lauer, were involved in serious, but non-life threatening accidents over
the Labor Day Weekend. Their accidents were unrelated and both gentlemen are
currently safe and receiving excellent medical care. Although the timing and
resultant injuries are not a good thing, we expect both Michael and Jake to
recover and join us back here at AHS promptly. Questions, concerns or
condolences? Please contact the Animas High School Main Office at: 970-247-2474
mainoffice@animashighschool.com or
drop in and see us during business hours at 3206 Main, Monday-Friday 8am-4pm.
Thank you for all your positive thoughts and prayers. We look forward to a
speedy recovery and a fantastic 2012-13 school year!
