Hello Mississippi Families!


I hope you are enjoying your summer and staying cool. I've enjoyed spending time with family, suggling with my dogs, and kayaking every chance I get.


We miss you and we are working hard to get ready for fall. Please take time to read this newsletter with some important back-to-school reminders.


Love,

Mrs. Grillo

Complete back to school forms online, now

It’s time to get ready for the upcoming school year! Families may complete back-to-school forms online:

  • Visit ahschools.us

  • Select “login” from the menu.

  • Select “family login.”

  • Proceed to complete back-to-school forms for the 2026-27 school year.

Why it matters: It’s important that each family completes the verification process and the online back-to-school forms before the first day of school. Verification ensures that each student’s school has confirmed emergency contact information and releases for the safety of each student.

What’s in it for you: Even if families’ contact information has not changed, it’s important to log in to access a variety of other student information in the coming weeks, including:

  • Class schedules and teacher assignments.

  • Transportation information, if relevant.

  • Receive additional educational benefits, discounts and reduced fees.

  • High school students will not be able to enroll in fall activities until the back to school verification process is complete.

Anywhere, on-the-go: Families may complete the verification on their own time, whenever it’s convenient. If you prefer to utilize the ParentVUE mobile app to access your student’s information, please note that the app has been updated. Read more about downloading the updated version of ParentVUE.

Questions? Contact your child’s school for assistance.
