News from the Nest

Dear Eagle Families,

We are just a few days away from welcoming our Eagles back, and the excitement is building! As we prepare for the first day, I want to ask for your partnership in ensuring that your student starts the school year ready and confident. Please take a few moments to carefully review today’s Special Edition Back to School Newsletter, as it contains important information and reminders.

Here are a few key items to check before Tuesday morning:

1. Computer Insurance – Please consider purchasing insurance for your student’s school-issued computer through School Cash Online. This small investment provides peace of mind for the year.
2. Cell Phone Policy – This year, our school system has adopted a new and more restrictive cell phone policy requiring students to keep their devices secured in their lockers and deactivated during the school day. This is a big change, and we need your support in reviewing this policy with your child so they are prepared to make the adjustment. Together, we can help students stay focused and engaged in learning.
3. Student Permissions – Please ensure that all student permission forms are completed and updated and all of the forms and resources have been reviewed. Having everything in place ahead of time avoids disruptions once the school year begins.
4. Schedules – Ask your student to review their schedule again before the first day. Our team has made recent adjustments to further balance class sizes, so it is important that students have the most up-to-date information.
5. Rest and Readiness – Encourage your student to get a good night’s sleep and come prepared for an amazing first day back. A well-rested start sets the tone for success!

We are excited to begin this school year with you and your family. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to an outstanding first week together.

Sincerely,

Erica Harris

We are excited to welcome you to Physical Education at Aberdeen High School! You are now able to purchase your required PE uniform (shirt and shorts) through one of our digital school store links or QR codes. Students with PE second semester are encouraged to buy uniforms now to avoid delivery delays. Our vendors have recently changed, and you will see two options below. Please ensure that you select the appropriate link for your student according to size. The full uniform purchase price is $20 but both online stores have small processing fees.

Students needing sizes small, medium, and large ONLY, choose the link below:

Your purchase, payment, and delivery to the school is through All Pro Team Sports. Pickup will be at the AHS School store from Mr. Lewis approximately 3 weeks after the store closes. The online store closes September 14th. Due to the shipping delay we are currently experiencing for these sizes, please have your student change into athletic clothing for PE class until their uniform arrives.
