ARCADIA HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER MARCH 2015 ARCADIA HIGH SCHOOL PTSA Brent Forsee, Principal Principal’s Message Inside this issue: Hello PTSA Friends, March is a month for "Hairspray" and registration. Our nationally recognized theater program, led by Steven Volpe, promises another resounding success with their presentation of “Hairspray” in the PAC. If you have not been to an Arcadia High musical you are truly missing out on one of the best entertainment deals in Southern California. March is an important month for registration and thinking about the 2015-16 school year. If you have a question regarding a course, please consult the curriculum guide, soon to be available online on our school website. Departments will also begin holding their AP preview presentations during lunch throughout the month of March. The goal of these presentations is to give our students as much information as possible regarding specific AP course expectations and work load. We encourage students to investigate AP courses in specific areas which interest them. Go Apaches! Dr. Brent Forsee Principal President’s Message See the Newly Opened Library!

You may remember that both spaces were dark and seemingly dysfunctional. Now we have a modern, comfortable and most importantly, welcoming library and cafeteria befitting the students of Arcadia High School. Another recently reopened part of campus is the Apache Cafe. No longer a pit, the Cafe is styled after collegiate dining halls. There is even a juice bar operated by Robeks offering smoothies and create-your-own-juice concoctions. There are plans for a recreation table, which in addition to the two flat screen televisions, reinforces the idea that the space is truly a cafe where students can lounge and linger, whether they are discussing their English project or last night’s game. We now have a library that reflects how today’s students learn and demonstrate their knowledge. The interior of the Library has been expanded to Arcadia High School include a multimedia PTSA is proud to classroom, have been integral in multimedia small the passage of group meeting rooms Measure I in 2006 and a student lounge. which provided the Vicky with May Eng (PTSA Corresponding Secretary and Scrip Chairperson) in front of Chromebooks are funding for the Library construction plans available for students upgrades to the library to check out to use in and the cafeteria.

Click here to return to Table of Contents ARCADIA HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Page 5 A Message From Student Services By John Finn, Assistant Principal Personal Items Please remind your sons and daughters to keep their belongings with them. Many times we have cell phones, backpacks, gym bags and other personal items turned in that were found in the lunch area, restroom and other assorted locations on campus. Often times the items have considerable monetary value. Unfortunately, in a few situations we have students report lost or stolen items. In most situations these items were lost or stolen when the owner was not in close proximity to their bag or backpack. Also, please have your sons and daughters avoid bringing a large amount of cash or expensive items to school. If students keep their items within their vision and avoid bringing unnecessary expensive items to school, they will minimize their risk of losing or having an item stolen. Cell Phones/Internet Technology has brought many positive communication tools to us but, with that, it has also reduced our privacy. It is important for your students to realize whatever they do in public could become the subject of a posting on one of the popular or not so popular sights. Often times this posting might cause embarrassment to your student. Whether they are at a dance or out with friends at the mall, their actions can be the focus of a posting. It is very important that students realize anything they do in a public area can become very public, to many viewers, even without their permission. Reinforce the importance of appropriate behavior in all activities so that your student can avoid a potentially embarrassing and harmful situation. It is important students realize potential colleges, universities and employers have access to the same information their friends do and sometimes a posting can have a negative effect on acceptance for either a college or job. Attendance, Academics, Behavior Please continue to reinforce the importance of good attendance, academic focus and proper behavior. The Spring tends to bring with it more incidents of students facing negative consequences for one of these three areas. It is important that all students stay on the right track but most especially for seniors and juniors. A failing grade is more difficult for a senior or junior to make up since they have less time before their graduation date. Violations in attendance or behavior can also include the loss of senior or junior privileges such as prom, grad night and in some cases, graduation and their diploma. Please emphasize that senioritis is not a recognized illness and cannot be used as an excuse. Positives The above information is intended as support for your sons and daughters as we work with you to provide them the best learning experience possible, both in and out of the classroom. The Student Services Department is fortunate to be working with so many honest, hardworking and respectful students. The number of students that have turned in items they found, including money, is heartwarming. Thank you for sending your students to Arcadia High School and all of us in the Student Services Department appreciate you and your students.

Starting the week of February 16th, Counselors will have conducted Orientation and Programming sessions with all freshmen, sophomore and junior students and parents. The process of Course Selection involves the following steps: 1) Course Selection Assembly – students received: Curriculum Guide Course Selection Draft Sheet 2) Students and Parents research and review classes: Read class descriptions in the Curriculum Guide Talk to parents, teachers and students about classes in which they are interested. Choose carefully – there are very strict policies regarding dropping and changing classes 3) Students meet with Counselors to select classes: Students come to Career Center with their English class. Students receive their transcript. Students bring completed Draft Course Selection Sheet to meeting. Counselors meet individually with all students to review their transcript, graduation status, future educational plans and options and summer school recommendations. Together they will fill out the final Course Selection Sheet and complete a thorough review of their high school progress. 4) Students take Final Course Selection Sheet home for parent signature. 5) Students return the signed Final Course Selection Sheet to the Counselor of the Day desk by due date indicated on the Course Selection Sheet. Students need to make their own personal copy before returning the sheet. 6) Any adjustments to these selections can only be made during PAW week (Program Adjustment Week), May 26 – May 29. 2014 – 2015 Course Selection Dates Powerpoint presentations used for both the student assemblies and parent evening meetings are now posted on the AHS Counselor website: counseling.ahs.ausd.net (click on “Grade Specific Documents and the student’s grade, then click on the Spring Assembly link).

Our seniors have been working hard for their entire academic years and Grad Night is a FUNtastic way for them to celebrate their last event as a class (only seniors attend). Many teachers and administrators also join in the festivities. Grad Night is a party hosted mostly by PARENTS OF SENIORS...we need you to help! Please sign up to help on our signup genius link (parents of any AHS student are most welcome to volunteer!): http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f094baaae2aa4f85-adult Unfortunately, a mistake was made – at Apache Days, many of you paid $100 for Grad Night, but this was the price for the graduating class of 2013. In 2014, it was $110 and for 2015, our intent was to charge $120 to cover rising costs of running the event. The current price has been $120 since October 2014. We are planning to raise the price to $130 beginning April 1st and $140 on May 1st. Please note these prices reflect a change from what was advertised during Apache Days. Our Grad Night committee is working diligently to figure out solutions for this error…but with most of the vendor costs going up, we are now in a financial bind. We are at risk of having some things for Grad Night unavailable. Working with PTA we have been able to create a PayPal link that will allow parents to go online to help out the Class of 2015. The link will soon be live so be sure to look for it on ListServe and the PTSA website. An additional donation of $25.00 is recommended, but more is GREATLY appreciated. Please help us fix our error and make Grad Night what it should be for our seniors – a fun, safe, local celebration of their accomplishments! And if you haven’t already done so, be sure to purchase your senior’s Grad Night ticket soon at the ASB office. Donation checks payable to “AHS PTSA” will be accepted at the AHS front desk. Please write “Grad Night” on the front of the envelope and on the memo line of your check and give it to Ms. Shari Omarsaid at the front office of the Student Services Building. Gift card donations are also appreciated! (Consider purchasing scrip cards – see Page 19 for Scrip Order form) Grad Night senior parent meetings are as follows: Mar 30, 7 PM - Lecture Hall May 4, 7 PM - location TBD June 1, 7 PM - Lecture Hall Thank you for your support.

You may have noticed AEF lawn signs adorning the entrances of all AUSD campuses. This visual campaign is to build community awareness about the Arcadia Educational Foundation (AEF) and its mission. The signs serve as a "thank you" to our current donors, and will hopefully encourage more of the Arcadia community to support our great schools and students. The lawn sign campaign goes in conjunction with the AEF Annual Appeal letter arriving soon in Arcadia mailboxes. This appeal letter provides details on what educational benefits AEF is currently funding, the future goals of the foundation, and why AUSD relies on private community support to keep the high level of public education in Arcadia schools. AEF is targeting raising money in part so AUSD can hire college counselors at the HS. According to a 2011 State of College Admissions report, only a quarter of public schools have a dedicated college counselor, as opposed to three-quarters of private schools. This places students at a disadvantage compared to their peers who enjoy college counseling. We are aiming to increase community participation in supporting AEF & Arcadia schools. Currently AEF has a participation rate of 4%...imagine the enhancements and benefits AEF could provide with a bit more community participation. Twenty percent participation will maintain and expand counselors. It is a goal worth striving for!

Course selection appointments will occur in April. During these appointments, a Counselor Will meet one-on-one with each 8th grader to assist them in choosing classes for 9th grade. There will be a Freshman Orientation evening event for incoming 9th grade students and their parents on Thursday, April 16 in the Arcadia High School North Gym (detailed information will follow). At this orientation, we will provide the student assembly course selection information to the parents as well as have presentations by various AHS departments and programs. SENIORS Changes to your second semester schedule or receiving a D or F in college prep classes during your senior year may negatively impact your admissions status to 4 year universities. Please check the websites of the colleges and universities to which you have applied to see if they have established deadlines for reporting changes. Please note: Contacting the universities with changes to your schedule or reporting a D or F senior year semester grade does not guarantee that your admissions status is secure. Remember, the admissions office tentatively accepts you based on reported grades up to 11th grade AND reported senior year courses, along with admissions tests scores and other criteria. The final determination for admissions will be made after the university receives your final transcript.
