Partner with Us: Dress Code and Disconnect to Reconnect
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!
RAMS On Time — Every Day, Every Class Period!
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!
Raising Awareness About Vaping: Protecting Our Students’ Health
Vaping and e-cigarette use have become an increasing concern among teens nationwide. At Arabia Mountain High School, we are committed to keeping our students informed and safe. While vaping is often perceived as “less harmful” than smoking, research shows it can have serious health consequences, including lung damage, addiction, and impaired brain development.
For Students:
-
Vaping devices can contain nicotine, THC, and other harmful substances.
-
Chemicals in vape products can damage lungs, the heart, and the brain.
-
Peer pressure may make vaping seem “cool,” but staying informed helps you make safer choices.
For Parents:
-
Keep an open line of communication with your children about the dangers of vaping.
-
Watch for signs of vaping, including unusual scents, small devices, or changes in behavior.
-
Encourage healthy habits and support students who may already be using vaping products.
Together, as a Ram Family, we can ensure a safer, healthier environment for all our students.
