Message from the Principal:
We have much to be grateful for at Aviation High School! As I reflect on my blessings today, I’m extending enormous thanks to:
- Our incredible PTSA who sponsored a spectacular auction this past Saturday evening at the Museum of Flight! It was a magical evening of spirited bidding and generous support for our school. Special thanks goes to Auction Chair Teri Katzer and the auction committee of Julie Zaballos, Erin Wingard, Kathy Silvernale, Denise Corrigan, Stephanie Hoag, DeAnna Luke-Huey, Gayle Wagner, Dayna Miller, Liz & Bill Campisteguy, Cherlyn Kozlak, Irasema Petralia, Karen Hixon, Debbie Stern, Logan Ponnoosamy, Tracey Phillips, Karen Rencher, and Theda Hiranaka for their tireless work to make the auction such a grand success! I’m also very grateful to Alaska Airlines, Erin Air, Esterline Corporation, Galvin Flying, Prudential Northwest, Verallia/Saint Gobain, Bassetti Architects, and Cox Financial for their sponsorship at the Blue Angel and Fat Albert levels! Thanks, too, for the many other parent, student and staff volunteers and to the donors who contributed their time and resources in support of our students and their futures! We are grateful!
- Our entire learning community for making our first informational program last Wednesday such a success! Over 100 students served as student ambassadors to inform, engage, and excite potential students and families about our school. With approximately 250-300 people in attendance that evening, we were able to personalize the experience for our guests. Thank you, students, parents, mentors, and staff! The next information night will be held December 2 from 5:45-8:15 p.m. If you would like to help, please let your teachers know or see Ms. Stark or Ms. Hiranaka in the main office.
By the way, if you know of anyone who attended and plans to apply for admission, please ask him/her to download the corrected version of the application from our website! Unfortunately, there was an error in printing the applications, so those that were distributed last week were incomplete (missing pages 8-11) and Essay 4.2 was incorrect. We apologize for these errors and will work with anyone who submits an incomplete application to get it right.
Speaking of getting it right: 1st quarter report cards are going home in the mail THIS week. Quarter grades are a formal progress report towards semester grades: quarter grades do not show up on your transcript; semester grades will. Are you on track for a successful semester? Two important pieces of new information to help you get or stay on track:
- Peer tutoring is provided by the National Honor Society on most Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons from 3:45 – 5:00. You can get help with math, English, social studies, world language, and science. Check the school calendar for details.
- In order to more effectively and quickly communicate with parents and students, AHS will be using Edline, an online tool to share information, grades, assignments, etc. In the mailing that includes your report card, you will also find a letter describing how you and your parent(s) can log-in to Edline.
That’s it for this week, my friends. My best to all for a spectacular week of learning! I am honored to be your principal—Reba
