A Message from Mr. Duncan

Good afternoon,
 
It's Homecoming week at AHS! Join us Friday as we host Liberty Tech out of Jackson, TN. Kickoff is at 7:00pm. 
 
Vaping: Today’s Cigarette
Arlington Community Schools is excited to soon launch a new self-help series for parents! Topics will range from teen depression and suicide to popular social media apps, tips on helping your child in school and everything in between. But first, we want to tackle a rising and serious issue that’s spreading across the United States: teen vaping. It’s today’s cigarette, and teens are lead to believe it’s safe. We encourage you to read the first article in our two part series, Vaping: Today’s Cigarette (attached below). And be on the lookout for the new self-help series, coming soon!
 
Viewing Grades
Just a reminder all grades should be viewed in PowerSchool. Schoology is used as the learning management system and provides an avenue for teachers to distribute information and assignments to students. Student work can be viewed in Schoology, but the grades are reported in PowerSchool.

Make plans to join Mr. Steve Smith, Associate Athletic Director in the Office of Compliance at Mississippi State University for a talk on college eligibility and recruiting rules. The meeting will be held at 6:00pm on October 18 in the AHS Auditorium.
