New Student FAQ

8/6/2017

Are you new to Arcadia High School? Every year is a little different, but we've tried to compile a list of the most common questions that parents have when they are new to AHS. If you find that any of our answers to these questions are INCORRECT, please let us know ASAP so we can correct it. Thank you :)

Click Here for HELPFUL INFO PRINTABLE SHEET

SUPPLY LIST
Is there a supply list? What does my student need for the first day of school?
No, there is not a supply list for AHS as of Fall 2017. Teachers each create their own supply list to be handed out during the first week, depending on their class. Some teachers want their own binder, some don't. Be prepared to shop the first week of school! Most teachers give 1 week for students to acquire their supplies.

To be prepared we recommend this generic list for the first week of school.

3 Ring Binder something that can hold paper for notes + handouts they will receive
Tabbed Dividers in binder you might need multiple sets if your teacher requires a separate binder
3 Ring College Ruled Paper
3 Ring Graph Paper
Pencils (+ sharpener if wood)
Blue, Black, Red Pens
Highlighters some teachers might get specific with the colors you need

SPIRITWEAR
Where & When can I buy an AHS tshirt?
Thank you for your excitement! Spiritwear is sold in the following ways:

STUGO Class Tshirts - Designed & sold at Registration by STUGO along with some other options for any students that would like them, but they are not required to purchase.
Sports Booster Clubs - Created and sold mainly by sports parent booster clubs as their season approaches. That doesn't mean the designs are just for that sport, however. Football Boosters sell many options at their games. Some boosters offer sales online thru the year and sometimes advertise in the AHS eBlast.
Market Days - Twice a year we host Market Days where students create & sell items during the lunch hour. Spiritwear like tshirts and sweatshirts are popular. The design and availability is limited.
School Book Store - Leftover spiritwear from past years is sold here, but supplies are limited and usually not the more popular items.
Target has also had AHS spiritwear for sale as well. Arcadia does not benefit from those sales.

LUNCH
Where do students eat lunch?
There are not any "official" places, but the students have created their own grade level spaces over the years.

Freshmen - Under & Around Mount Olympus
Sophomores, Juniors & Seniors - Cafeteria
Many students eat lunch in classrooms as well with the permission of the teacher.
Social clubs commonly meet during lunch for their activities in classrooms or the library.

Where do students buy lunch?
There are 3 places to buy lunch

Cafeteria for hot & cold food options + drinks. (student ID & cash accepted).
Kiosk for hot & cold food options + drinks. (student ID & cash accepted).
Cart has salads, cold drinks, and more. No hot items. (cash only).

How to I add money to my child's ID?

Titan Family Portal - If you need to create an account or add money so your child can purchase lunch with his/her ID go to Titan Family Portal. SEE MORE INFORMATION HERE.

BUS
I need to take the bus, where is it?

The buses line up BEHIND the school (on the east side).
As of August 2017, find your bus route at https://www.infofinderi.com/ifi/?cid=SUSD1EOQL0XB7

DROPOFF / PICKUP
What school entrance should I use?

Indian School entrance/exit (same for morning & afternoon)
- Do not drop students in the front parking lot.
- The traffic line divides into 2 lines of cars after the front parking lot. Students may exit cars from both lanes once they have turned around the circle. The security guards direct traffic when possible. Please be respectful of drivers and careful of students.
44th Street entrance/exit
- Morning - for student drivers only
- Afternoon - parents may park in available spots & your student can come to your car. You cannot exit at Indian School (there are cones & security blocking it).

I need to pick up my child early from school or excuse my late student

EARLY RELEASE - Call 480-484-6304 so your student is waiting for you. Parent/Guardian is required to walk in and sign student out.
LATE ARRIVAL - Call 480-484-6304 to excuse late arrival. It is not necessary to walk in student if you call.
FULL DAY EXCUSED - Call 480-484-6300 to leave a message including NAME, STUDENT ID ID#, REASON.
TIME LIMIT - Students must be called out/in within 24 hours of absence or it will be marked as unexcused and cannot be changed.

EXTRACURRICULAR (Athletics, Groups)
When do sports,etc begin?

Some activities (example: spirit line, dance) have events beginning in May the year before. If you missed those events, please contact the Booster Chair.
Some fall sports have events during the summer (camps, meetings), so keep an eye out for communications so you can jump right in. If you missed these meetings, it does not mean you cannot tryout. Some events are important however (Marching Band Camp, Football Camp, etc), and participation is highly encouraged.

When are tryouts?

Tryouts are usually the first week of school.
Tryout dates are announced on the morning announcements (ANN - Arcadia News Network), so it's important for students to pay attention if they want to participate.

Do you have a question? Leave a comment and we will answer it!
