Welcome to ACHS!
Enrollment Information Meeting

ACHS Auditorium
Enrollment Steps
Step 1:
Students will receive initial class enrollment materials on Jan 27th when the 8th graders attend ACHS during Reality U.
- Registration worksheet with directions
- 9th grade course offering sheets
- General ACHS contact information
Step 2:
Students and parents are encouraged to visit the Enrollment Information Meeting on February 8th from 6 pm - 7 pm in the ACHS auditorium.
Step 3:
Students/parents will need to log into PowerSchool account to choose courses. Directions are provided in a video that will be posted on the ACHS website >Counselors>Enrollment
Step 4:
Students will be able to access their schedules in PowerSchool in July. The counseling office works on the master schedule and finalizing individual schedules until late June.
Step 5:
Please understand that these steps are for only picking out classes. You and your child will still need to complete the enrollment process in July when schools send out the remainder of instructions including updating contact information and paying fees. This does NOT enroll your child. This simply selects their courses for enrollment.
