The scheduling process at Athens Academy takes time. It is a lengthy process because schedules are created based on a number of factors and many people are involved in the process. Now that Departmental Recommendations have been made, please conference with your child's advisor to discuss the next steps.
Please remember that Wednesday, March 3rd is the day designated for Upper School Conferences. All 9th grade parents and students are asked to conference with their advisor at the same time and location as the fall conferences. The primary focus of spring conferences will be to discuss scheduling for next year and to provide any needed support for the remainder of this year. Please be in touch with your child's advisor to confirm your attendance.
Parents of students in grades 10, 11, and 12 are also asked to conference with advisors if there is a discrepancy with the departmental recommendation sent home during the week of February 22nd or if there is a need to discuss immediate concerns. We stand ready to assist you as you finish this year and plan for the next.

As the devastating news of the Haitian tragedy continues to unfold, we, as a group of individuals, have decisions to make. One of those decisions is if and how we are going to offer our assistance to those 250,000 people in desperate need of food and water and the many more who are now homeless, parentless, and childless. We as a school have decided to unite our efforts on Friday, January 22nd by donating at least $2 to wear a t-shirt for the day. While other school wide efforts are also underway, it is important to know that we have encouraged individual grades in the Upper School to work as group to come up with other ideas that will be beneficial to the people of Haiti. If you would like to assist us in our efforts, please be in touch with Mr. Patrick Snead, Dean of Students, or Mr. Barten Nealy, the Coordinator of Academic and Personal Support.
