AMHS students are welcome to explore new interests by taking enrichment coursework during the summer. Please note that the school will not approve enrollment in any course that is offered during the regular school year at AMHS. The only exception to this rule is course work that has been approved for advancement by a department chair. If a student requires a signature for summer coursework, please bring the paperwork to the Main Office, and Ms. Caputo will review the paperwork and return it to the student within 24-hours. |

Those students whose parents have completed the re-registration process for the 2016-2017 school year will have their course lists mailed at the end of the week. Questions regarding student placement should be directed to the appropriate department chairperson or to the student's counselor.
Finals: Second Semester
The second semester Finals Schedule for the week of May 23rd is viewable on the school calendar.
Please note these dates are for planning. The individual finals locations can be found on the Announcements page.
Absences
The Dean of Students must excuse all absences. Make-up times are scheduled to accommodate these absences. Contact the registrar, Mrs. Karen Waterbury, as soon as possible, to schedule the make-up exam.
Conflicts
Make-up times are scheduled to accommodate these conflicts. The registrar coordinates all re-scheduling issues. Contact the registrar, Mrs. Karen Waterbury, as soon as possible, to schedule the second test. Please do not request that your teacher arrange a different time. |
Retreat Registration for 2016-17
Online retreat registration for next school year opened on Sunday, May 1st, at 3:00 p.m. All students are encouraged to register here as soon as possible, as spots fill quickly. Athletes are encouraged to sign up early to ensure a spot on a retreat that is not in their particular season. The registration period will take place from May 1st to June 3rd. |
Counseling
Seniors Grades
As we finish the school year, please take good care of your grades! Your colleges acceptances require that you maintain your academic performance until graduation. If you are missing assignments, please turn them in. If you are struggling in any classes, please meet with your teacher(s) and counselor immediately.
Dual Course Placement in a Single Subject Area
Students who are qualified for a second course in a given subject area and who would like to be considered for dual placement may submit an email request to Mrs. Waterbury. Students do NOT need to email Mrs. Waterbury if they have already completed the science, math, or social studies Google forms for dual placement. Mrs. Waterbury will keep a waiting list for students interested in doubling up courses within the same subject area.
Dual placement in any subject area is NOT guaranteed. The courses that students may see on the student placement database are courses for which they are qualified.
Priority in all of these instances is given to seniors and students who require a course for graduation. While we will do our best to meet student requests, dual placement in any subject is NOT guaranteed. |
Please RSVP (if you have not already done so) to rsvp@mitty.com. This is an adult and alumni event. No current students please. If you have any questions, please email or call Sarah Janigian in the Advancement Office at sjanigian@mitty.com or (408) 342-4224. |
