Greetings Animas High School Community,A huge THANK YOU to all who came out to last Thursday’s Final Exhibition Event. The students’ presentations, posters, essays and musical instruments were absolutely amazing. We are so proud of our ninth graders and as we enter the home stretch, please review the following updates:
NWEA
Re-Enrollment Packets
tPOLs
NWEA
Students will be participating in a final round of NWEA testing this week. NWEAs assess individual student growth throughout the school year. We look forward to using test data and the results of these assessments to better serve and differentiate instruction for all of our students. Students participated in NWEAs in the fall and also in late winter. If you have questions about NWEA student testing, please contact AHS Coordinator of Exceptional Students/ Testing Coordinator Jeff Di Giacomo at jeff.digiacomom@animashighschool.com
Re-Enrollment Packets
Re-Enrollment Packets were sent home to the Class of 2013 last Friday. Included in the packet is a re-enrollment form, a letter from AHS Head of School Michael Ackerman, a copy of AHS student Alicia Whiteman’s recent address from our trip to Colorado’s Capitol and a special surprise for students that participated in orientation last August. Re-enrollment forms are to be filled out and returned to school along with a twenty five dollar re-enrollment fee. Questions or concerns should be forwarded to AHS Director of Student Services Jake Lauer at jake.lauer@animashighschool.com
Please Note that Registration night for incoming 9th and 10th graders will be held at Animas High School on Thursday May 20th. Registration packets were mailed out to incoming enrolled students the beginning of this week.
tPOLs
Final Exhibition may be over but students continue to work towards their Transitional Presentations of Learning scheduled for the final week of school. Similar to POLs which occurred at the end of first semester, tPOLs offer students a chance to present their learning and speak to the growth and competence they’ve realized this year at AHS. Students will also be making the case as to why they are solid candidates for promotion to the 10th grade. We look forward to hearing all the great presentations and working with students as they look to finish this year strong. Students will receive a tPOL schedule next week.
