AJHS Family,

As you are aware, we had two separate incidents on Wednesday, February 15th at school. We take all incidents involving safety seriously and want to remain transparent with our school family about them. I would like to thank our school administration, district team, and the Decatur Police Department for their swift actions to help ensure the safety of our students and staff. Although no direct threats were made towards our campus or any individual, school administration was able to respond to reported information quickly and appropriately. We strive to keep our stakeholders informed and will continue to do so as effectively and efficiently as possible. Please continue to encourage your student to report anything they feel does not look, feel, or sound right.

This upcoming Monday is a remote learning day for our students (Orange Day). Teachers will provide students with assignments to complete at home, without hosting Google Meets, while they attend professional development.
