The RAM Report

The 4.5-week progress reports were available to parents and students in Infinite Campus on Friday, September 12th. Parents and students are encouraged to review the student’s grades. Progress reports provide parents and students with the student's academic progress in a course at every 4.5 week period during a semester. The grades on a progress report are not a part of the student's permanent record or transcript but should help students to gauge their performance in a course. Student grades are finalized at the end of each semester and are posted to the official transcript at the end of the Fall and Spring semesters. Therefore, it is imperative that students are aware of their grades in a course and that they take advantage of any remediation opportunity that has been provided by the teacher.

As a reminder, Career Pathway students must earn a 2.5-semester G.P.A., and Magnet students must earn a 3.0-semester G.P.A. to maintain satisfactory academic standing. Students falling below this G.P.A. requirement at the end of the Fall 2025 semester are in jeopardy of being placed on academic probation or being exited from the academic program. Encourage your child to calculate their current G.P.A. by using the instructions attached below. Please speak to your child about their current status in their courses and contact your student’s teacher if you have any questions regarding their progress in a course.

Let’s ace the SAT together! 🎯

We need your help! Daily dress code violations and personal device distractions are impacting learning. Please review these key expectations with your child:

• Skirts may not be rolled; shirts may not be tied.

• Pants must stay at the waist; belts are encouraged.

• Outerwear must be hoodless and solid navy, hunter green, or white.

• No personal devices (phones, headphones, iPads). Only DCSD Chromebooks are allowed.

These steps help students focus, stay safe, and reduce disciplinary issues. Your partnership makes a difference!

At Arabia Mountain High School, excellence begins with being present and on time. We are reminding all students of the importance of arriving to school on time each morning and reporting promptly to every class period throughout the day.

Punctuality not only builds strong habits for college and career success but also ensures that no instructional time is lost. Starting this week, random tardy sweeps will be conducted, and repeated tardiness will result in consequences.

Parents, we ask for your support in reinforcing the importance of time management with your scholar so that together, we can continue to uphold our culture of excellence.

RAMS are ready, responsible, and on time—every day, every class period!

RAMS, plan ahead for your college entrance exams! 🌪️ Whether you’re taking the SAT or ACT, make sure to register early and secure your spot.
