As anticipated we are experiencing the effects of furloughs at AieaHigh
School. The school has revised our bell schedule
to insure that the number of contact time with students will be consistent with
all six periods. The start and end time for each day is the same, but the
periods within the days are adjusted. The school has cancelled one Planning and
Collaboration Day scheduled for Friday, February 5, 2009.
The state budget crisis’ is
affecting school bus transportation. Transportation services have increased the walk distance from 1 mile to 1.5 miles to school
effective January 1, 2010. Schools with students in grades 6 – 12 will be
issued maps showing the new 1.5 mile walk-out distance, and school personnel
will not be permitted to sell or provide bus passes to students in the grades 6
– 12 who live within 1.5 miles of school.
The following
refunds will be provided to students affected:
1. Refunds for second quarter furlough
days
2.Refunds for those who purchased
annual passes but who will no longer be eligible for service because they
either are:
(i) within the
new 1.5 mile distance for students in grades 6-12 or
(ii) are high
school students on a school bus route we will discontinue.
This information will also be up on the
public DOE website (with a new school bus icon on the DOE homepage), including
maps with the new 1.5 mile walk areas for each school that has school bus
service for students in grades 6-12 and a list of routes, by high school and
showing the neighborhoods served, where bus service will be discontinued. There
are NO changes for curb-to-curb service.
Lunch prices are going up on
January 5, 2010 to $2.20 for students and reduced lunch is $0.40.

We are currently working on
next year’s Academic and Financial Plan and the School’s Strategic (3-year)
Plan. Our primary focus will be Standards Based-Instruction that will lead
directly into Standard-based grading while on-going effective instructional practices
and assessment in the classroom.
The PTSO will be sponsoring
the 2nd annual S.O.S. (Support Our School) Bash on February 14, 2010
at Ige’s Restaurant from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The Bash will help to support our
technology and our performing arts program. The fundraiser will be $50.00 per

We need your assistance in monitoring your child to do his/her work, come to
school on time, and put forth his/her best effort every day. We appreciate your
continued support of our students. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to call me at 483-7300. Thank you.
