The updated versions of the apps are available to use and access now. Some families may no longer be able to login using the current or discontinued legacy version of the apps.

Take action now to download and use the new app:

• Families: Parents/guardians should download the new version of the app.

A valid parking permit for the current school year is required on all vehicles parked in school lots from 7:30 AM – 2:10 PM on District-designated school days. Permits can be purchased; the cost is $105 for an annual permit. The Anoka-Hennepin School Board may revise parking fees over the summer.

Annual permits for the 26-27 school year will be sold starting August 10 for students through ParentVUE/SchoolPay. All permits will be purchased for the full year. If a student leaves before the year is done, we will refund the remaining balance if the permit is turned in. Payment accommodations can be made. Please reach out to MS. Gifford in the finance office.

Even as students grow more independent, involvement remains key to their success. Research highlights that high schoolers with connected families and caring community members achieve higher grades, build stronger social-emotional skills, and have a smoother transition into life after high school. Your time and support make a lasting impact on our school community!

To learn more about volunteer opportunities this year, please complete or update the AHS Volunteer Application (required every new school year).
