PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
It is amazing to believe that we entered October and Mid-Term grades are next week! That is correct, on
Wednesday, October 7th Mid-Term grades will be posted and mailed home. As you remember, the ASD and
ARHS are on a quarter system due to Distance Learning. This means October 7th is the midpoint for Qtr 1
classes. NEW classes for Qtr 2 will begin on November 16th. It is important to keep open communications with
your son and/or daughter and their teachers throughout this quarter regarding learning progress. As well, continue to
check your Skyward accounts to review grades. With only a little over a month left of Qtr 1 classes, supporting and
keeping them motivated now will help with their final grade success. Thanks for all that you do at home to support
learning. We understand that Distance Learning has been tough on both our staff, who are trying to provide quality
education and support online, and our families who are trying to support learning and emotional health at home. Hang
in there, as together, “WE are AR” and we will get through this.

AR TIME
ARHS has a 30-minute period in between the 1st and 2nd period of the school day. This is labelled on a student’s schedule as 8th period,
GEN408 HSBP. For the first four weeks of school, your student’s teacher for 8th period will be the same as his/her 1st period teach-
er. This period will be used to orient students on a variety of school and state subjects (Ex: Student Handbook, Chromebook How
To’s, HIV/AIDS presentation, High School and Beyond Planning, etc.). After Mid-tern 1 grades are posted on Oct. 7th, students will be assigned to either an inter-
vention support or enrichment support to match their individual needs based on the posted grades. More information about Intervention/Enrichment assignments
will be forthcoming.

COUNSELOR’S CORNER
September has been Suicide Prevention Month. Though this focus may be ending as the month comes to a close, we realize the need to remain aware and keep this concern on our radar. A recent data release showed that 24.7% of 8-20 year olds have contem-plated suicidal thoughts during this pandemic. Covid has been difficult for many people, young and old. Approaching someone who is struggling can be difficult, but it’s worth the discomfort to help save a life. If you encounter a friend or family member who is strug-gling or having thoughts of harming themselves, here are some suggestions in how to help someone with suicidal thoughts:
1. If you are concerned, ask the person if they are thinking about dying or killing themselves.
2. Start a conversation with the person and listen without judging to show you care.
3. Don’t leave the person alone until you can get further help.
4. If you suspect the person could be a harm to themselves, take them seriously.
5. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or 24 hour crisis line 1-866-427-4747 or Call 911.
