Dear Raider Families,

Welcome to Atholton High School!  We are very excited to begin a new school year, and look forward to meeting you and your student soon.  Atholton HS is a wonderful place to learn, grow, and mature.  Our outstanding staff and administration are always eager to teach and support your child.  We hope your family will make a strong connection to AHS this year.

We look forward to meeting many of you at New Student & Parent Orientation on Thursday, August 27^th from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 pm.  This program will include small group opportunities for both students and parents.  We also hope to see all parents at Back to School Night on September 9th at 6:45 p.m.  Join the AHS community on October 13^th at 7:00 pm for a chance to chat with Ms. Leonard during Pizza with the Principal.

We are thrilled that you are a part of the Atholton HS family and look forward to partnering together with you to support all of the outstanding activities at AHS.  Our goal is for the AHS PTSA to be Partners Together Supporting Atholton.  This means we will partner with you for the success of your student, we will partner with the school to support its needs, and we will be partners with the community in which we live.

As of June 20, the Howard County Public School System has switched e-communication vendors, replacing eSchoolNewsletter with HCPSS news.  Please sign up immediately for the new system at www.hcpssnews.com, a primary source of communication about Atholton HS.  The new system allows subscribers the option to receive messages in English, Spanish or Chinese.  Korean will be available shortly. Please plan to visit the AHS PTSA web page often at www.atholtonptsa.org, as well as the school’s website at www.atholton.net.  These sites contain information to help you know what’s going on in the school.  The AHS PTSA publishes a monthly newsletter which will be available online by clicking the “News” link on the PTSA web page.

Only the enclosed forms will be mailed, and an hcpssnews message will be sent each month when the newsletter is posted online.  If your family does not have internet access, please contact the AHS office so you can obtain hard copies of our newsletter.

Please stay involved with your child by volunteering your time through the PTSA. Your efforts to assist the students, staff and the school are greatly appreciated.  The first step is to join the AHS PTSA. Visit the PTSA organization website at www.atholtonptsa.org to join today!

The AHS PTSA is here to help you in any way we can. As your children get older, they need you more than ever (despite what they may tell you)!  Together we can make this a fantastic year for all of our students.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school at 410-313-7065 or the PTSA at 410-531-3670 or via email at jlustbader@comcast.net.

Go Raiders!
