Principal's Message
AJHS Family,
We enjoyed having everyone back on campus for in-person learning this past week! I want to thank our teachers and students for their great job getting back into the routine of school after our virtual week.
Please see the rest of this newsletter for more information concerning course registration for 2022-23 school year as well as news of other events taking place on campus.

Course Registration
Believe it or not, but it is time to start thinking about what courses your student will take for the 2022-23 school year. DCS has provided a Curriculum Guide with information regarding courses offered, prerequisites, diploma options, etc... Please see links to this resource below.
In an effort to streamline the decision making process for our AJHS family, we have created an abbreviated version with hyperlinks to videos from our teachers explaining their subject area/program. I encourage each of you to begin looking over this information prior to our registration dates. The AJHS team will meet with each student individually to complete the registration process.
Important dates:
Monday, February 7th - AJHS 9th grade students will tour the Career Academies of Decatur campus during the school day.
Tuesday, February 8th - AJHS Curriculum Night - more details coming
Thursday/Friday, February 10th/11th - AJHS team will meet with all current 7th graders at AMS to complete their course registration
Thursday/Friday, February 17th/18th - AJHS and AHS teams will meet with all current 8th and 9th graders at AJHS (during History classes) to complete their course registration.
TBD - course registration verification sheets will go home for parents and students for view.
