The 9-week progress reports were made available to parents and students in Infinite Campus on Friday, October 23, 2026. We encourage all families to take time to review their student's grades and discuss their academic progress.

Progress reports provide an important snapshot of a student's academic performance throughout the semester. While these grades are not part of a student's permanent academic record or official transcript, they serve as a valuable tool for identifying areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.

Final course grades are determined at the end of each semester and recorded on the student's official transcript. Therefore, it is essential that students remain aware of their academic standing, complete all assignments, and take advantage of remediation and academic support opportunities provided by their teachers.

Important Reminder: Magnet and Career Pathway GPA Requirements

To maintain satisfactory academic standing, students must meet the following semester GPA requirements:

• Magnet Program: Minimum 3.0 semester GPA

• Career Pathway Program: Minimum 2.5 semester GPA

Students who do not meet their program's minimum GPA requirement at the end of the Fall 2026 semester may be placed on academic probation or risk being exited from their respective programs.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians to take the following steps to support their student's academic success:

1. Review Grades: Log in to Infinite Campus with your student and review their current grades in each course.

2. Calculate GPA: Use the GPA calculation instructions provided below to determine your student's current academic standing.

3. Have a Conversation: Discuss academic strengths, areas needing improvement, and goals for the remainder of the semester.

4. Communicate with Teachers: Contact your student's teachers with any questions or concerns regarding academic progress.

5. Take Advantage of Support: Encourage your student to complete remediation assignments, attend available academic support sessions, and remain engaged in classroom instruction.

Our goal is to ensure that every RAM finishes the semester strong! By working together, monitoring academic progress, and addressing concerns early, we can help our students remain on track for academic success.

Every Monday is Blazer Monday at AMHS! Students are expected to wear their official AMHS blazers as part of our commitment to promoting professionalism and school pride. Our CTAE and Fine Arts departments will also incorporate professional dress expectations into their employability standards, helping students make meaningful connections between their appearance and future career readiness.

Cooler Weather & Approved Outerwear

As temperatures begin to drop, we want to remind families that our uniform expectations remain in effect. Please ensure students are dressed appropriately for the weather while adhering to the following guidelines:

• Outerwear: All jackets, sweaters, and other outerwear must be hoodless and solid Navy, Hunter Green, White, or Black.

As students complete community service activities throughout the school year, please remind them to properly document their community service hours using the Community Service Log attached to this newsletter.

Students are responsible for completing 10 community service hours outside of EIC. Participation in EIC will account for the other 10 hours of the 20-hour requirement.

Students should record their service activities on one Community Service Log and obtain the appropriate verification for all hours completed. Once all 10 community service hours have been completed, students should submit one completed Community Service Log to the AMHS Front Desk.

📌 Deadline: All Community Service Logs must be submitted by Friday, April 30, 2027.

Please encourage students to keep a copy of their completed log for their personal records.

Thank you for helping our scholars stay on track with their community service requirements!
