Reminders...

All textbooks, library books, sports uniforms, equipment, lunch accounts must be returned and pay all fines. All obligations must be resolved. If your child has not turned in their obligations they will not be eligible to participate in the end of year activities. Obligations follow students through high school.
Dismissal & Late Pick Ups
All students must depart from the HHS campus at the end of the school day at 2:51 PM. Students should leave campus no later than 3:00 PM and avoid re-entering the building.
Traffic Reminders
Exercise patience and precaution during this hectic time of the day.
Avoid using staff and student parking lots to pick up or drop off students.
ALWAYS be alert of students walking into the school. We encourage students to avoid the temptation to WALK BETWEEN MOVING CARS AND BUSES. What is easy and quick is not what is safe.
Be patient when the car in front of you is moving slower than you think they should be.
Never use your cell phone or engage in other distracting activities when driving in the Huron parking lot.

Art Department Spotlight Community Connection!
A special thank you to Mrs. Kubaki and the Huron Art Department for helping bring the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair's new Original Art Pack project to life at Huron. Thank . you to Angela Kline Executive Director at Ann Arbor Street Art Fair IncThrough this initiative, Huron received 486 art packs one for every student currently enrolled in an art class. These high-quality art supplies were selected to align with the AAPS curriculum and help ensure equitable access to creative opportunities for all students. We encourage our young artists to take their supplies home and continue exploring their creativity throughout the summer and beyond. Thank you to everyone who helped make this opportunity possible for our students!

High School Summer Learning Program – Credit Recovery Opportunity
Summer School Registration is Open for High School Students
Registration is now open for our High School Summer Learning Program, running June 23 through July 24. This is a credit-recovery opportunity for students who need to make up a course they previously did not pass a real chance to get back on track toward graduation. Space can be limited, so earlier is better. The summer school enrollment form is live! Any questions please contact Stephan Hogan hoganst@aaps.k12.mi.us and Tracey Stevenson stevensont@aaps.k12.mi.us
Attendance & Tardies
Attendance at school and classes is very important. Teachers take attendance at the start of each period (first ten minutes) of class. Whenever a student is absent or tardy a robocall is sent to parents. Please pay careful attention to these messages as they indicate an absence or tardy from class. If mistakes are made they are best fixed when a parent communicates to the school immediately. You can view your student’s attendance in Powerschool.
Students with tardy and absenteeism will not be allowed to participate in extracurricular events held on campus, including, athletic events, clubs, homecoming and other.
