Student Schedules Released

Read Time:3 Minute, 48 Second

Around 5 AM on Wed May 31st, Mr. Como sent an email to AHS students with information about student schedules. Here is the e-mail:

Good morning!

As another school year comes to a close, we reflect upon our experiences; what we have lost, what we have gained, and what we have learned. We wish our graduates opportunities, hope, and confidence in one’s self! But for all of us returning to AHS next year, the excitement and nervousness of class schedules become the topic of focus through the Summer! We have been through A LOT in the last four years… the AHS & AMS construction project will provide another path to navigate starting this summer, strengthing our resilience and adding to our adventures.

2023-24 1st Draft Student Schedules are now available

All AHS students will be able to see their class schedule for next year in ALMA after June 15th. While in this current school year, we will provide a paper version of 1st Draft class schedules during this last week of school:

To all current Juniors (Soon to be Seniors!) Today (Wednesday 5/31) during and after Lunches 1 & 3 in the AHS SCHOOL COUNSELING AREA

To all current Sophomores (Juniors next year) Tomorrow (Thursday 6/1) during and after Lunches 1 & 3 in the AHS SCHOOL COUNSELING AREA

To all current Freshmen (next year’s Sophomores) on Friday (6/2) during and after Lunches 1 & 3 in the AHS SCHOOL COUNSELING AREA

Current 8th Grade Students will receive their AHS 9th Grade schedules through ALMA after June 15th; students and families will be notified directly

There will also be an AHS Orientation for all incoming 9th Grade students in August

REMEMBER: THESE ARE 1st DRAFT STUDNET SCHEDULES & CLASS ROSTERS

STUDENT SCHEDULES & CLASS ROSTERS ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

STUDENT SCHEDULES’ MAY CHANGE OVER THE SUMMER DUE TO VARIOUS REASONS

(ie: number of students in a class section, teachers’ schedules, classroom availability, etc.)

Some schedules may look great and have no conflicts

Other schedules may need a little work requiring communication between students, parents, and School Counselors

Please do not panic

We know this can be stressful and that making such decisions is challenging

If there are scheduling issues, it can be a good problem-solving experience

It is important to consider all options that may be available

All updated student schedules and class rosters will be available in ALMA throughout the Summer

With that said:

School Counselors will be available to meet with students and families throughout the summer, starting June 5th

If you would like to discuss your schedule, have questions, changed your mind about some things, not sure about class scope & sequences, or scheduling errors to fix, please contact Mrs. Sundo, School Counseling Office Secretary, to make a virtual appointment with one of the School Counselors (jsundo@avonworth.k12.pa.us or 412.847.0940)

Sincerely, from your AHS Scheduling Team,

Dr. Dwulit, AHS Principal

Dr. Remensky, AHS Assitant Principal

Mrs. Levis, AHS School Counselor (nlevis@avonworth.k12.pa.us)

Students had a variety of perspectives on schedules:

“I’m stressed about them but I’m hopeful that there are some classes I’ll be able to take that I couldn’t take because of band” – Vanessa Amayo, 2025

“I don’t like how you have to jump into hard classes at the beginning of the day. That’s stupid.” – Jessica Nicolaus, 2025

“It’s gonna be more frustrating since most kids are going to have more classes every day and therefore more homework every day. I’m pretty worried about it.” – Reese Theobald, 2025
