Dec/Jan 2009
	Dear Parents/Guardians, Annapolis High School is proud to say, “We made AYP!”  It is great to know that all our efforts, hard work and believing in each other paid off.  Without all of the AHS Faculty, staff, students, parents and community, we would not have been successful.  We took some time to celebrate.  Now we are back to work.  In order to exit the state “watch list”, we must make AYP for two consecutive years. That makes this year even more important. With everyone working together, we know we will make it. On November 21, students will receive their first marking period grades.  If you do not receive your child’s report card, please contact the guidance office.  As always, please pay careful attention to your  student’s progress and communicate with teachers and counselors should you have any concerns. Parents, this is the first year that seniors must pass all of their High School Assessments or make a combined score of 1602 on their assessments in order to graduate.  Some students will need to complete  Bridge Projects in order to satisfy their H.S.A. requirements.  Should your child need to pass the assessments or engage in the Bridge Projects, please contact his or her counselor regarding their progress. As we enter the winter season, we encourage parents and the community to continue to support our students and the many programs here at Annapolis High School.  Plan to attend our various holiday program events in December and be certain not to miss another great season of winter sports.  Hope to see you here soon. Sincerely, Donald R. Lilley Principal
