Greetings Osprey Community,
What a powerful week this has been, with students engaged in meaningful reflection, pushed by peers and teachers alike to be authentic in their Presentations of Learning. There have been so many moving moments at the nest this week and we are grateful for our amazing students and teachers and their willingness to participate in rich conversations about growth, learning, passions and goals. As one 9th grade parent said after watching her son's POL and seeing his teachers ask probing questions that demonstrated their knowledge of him as a unique, whole person, "I really get it now!"
First semester grades will be finalized and posted in
Infinite Campus by 3pm today. As we do not send out print copies of report cards, log in to IC to view final semester grades. For students who receive an Incomplete, communicate directly with the teacher to verify expectations and deadlines for completion. Please reach out to advisors in January if you have questions about next steps for recovering credits for failed classes.

After the holiday break, classes will resume on Tuesday, January 3, as Monday the 2nd is a Professional Development Day for our staff. Remember that our
daily schedule is shifting slightly, so our day will go from 8:25 to 3:25. Second semester schedules are available in Infinite Campus and there will be a two week add/drop period at the start of 2nd semester which will give students the opportunity to make changes in elective classes. Third quarter XBlocks, which are also listed in IC, begin on Wednesday, January 4; please be sure to purchase passes for the Rec Center, Rock Lounge or Chapman Hill for the following XBlock classes: Basketball, Volleyball, Weight Lifting, Rock Climbing, Skiing/Riding/Skating/Ski Touring.

Finally, before we head off for our holiday break, we'd like to share our heartfelt appreciation for all of our AHS families. Working in partnership with you to help our students become thoughtful, articulate, caring young adults is an honor and a privilege and we are grateful for the opportunity. Thank you, too, to all the parents who made our delicious Staff Appreciation Luncheon so special today!
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and many thanks for all you do to help the Ospreys soar!
