Hey Juniors & Seniors!
Check out this opportunity for a Research Fellowship from The Historic Santa Fe Foundation.
ATC Theater has put on two full length plays without the tools we need to properly build our sets. The materials we need are the basics to build and paint our sets. Help us make the set for this year's production the best one yet!

Donor's Choose—Mr. Rivers is seeking donations for 25 new stackable stools for my art and technology class. Mr. Rivers teaches 7th to 12th-grade students, so his younger students struggle to be comfortable in the taller stools.

Schedule change request forms can be picked up from and submitted to Ms. Gardner in the main office beginning today and for the first ten days of school. Remember that we do not change schedules so that students can be with certain friends or to change teachers. We will do our best to meet your other schedule change requests, but please understand not all change requests may be possible in the schedule.
Hey Students & Families!
We're so very excited to see everyone tomorrow!

ATC’s schedule provides for a “Flex” period at the end of the day, Tuesday through Friday. This period is part of the school day and is designed primarily for students to focus on their academic needs. We provide study halls, tutoring, intensives, clubs, and activities during this time. Analysis of last year’s data clearly shows the academic value of attending Flex Intensives, with students attending assigned intensives earning substantially higher GPAs than those absent from their assigned Intensives.
Students will work with their College Crew teachers to ensure they are using Flex to their best advantage. They will also receive a weekly Crew grade tied to their Flex attendance. We thank parents and guardians for their support in helping our students make good choices about how they use this important block of time.
Student Drivers! If you wish to drive to school and park at ATC, you must purchase a parking permit and complete a Student Parking Agreement by August 16th. Please bring your completed agreement, driver's license, proof of registration and insurance, and a $25 payment to receive your parking permit and assigned parking spot. Parking Agreements can be downloaded from our Back to School page at https://www.atcschool.org/o/the-academy/page/bts or picked up from the front office.
Hey ATC Students!
The first day of school is this Friday. You'll begin your day in your College Crew classes. There, you will receive your Chromebook and Agenda.
There are a couple of activities to plan for:
● Magazines Needed: We need magazines for one of our activities. Bring at least five magazines to share in your Crew class and earn an hour of community service! Please drop them off in your Crew Classroom.
● Dress for Success: Plan your outfit with movement in mind! We’ll have both indoor and outdoor activities, so be sure to wear something comfortable. Don’t forget your water bottle, shades, and sunscreen to stay hydrated and protected!
ATC Students, did you know that the presence of cell phones in the classroom has been shown to decrease attention and learning for all students, even those who don’t have cell phones?
We care about your learning and don’t want you to experience unnecessary barriers to having the most successful school year possible!
For this reason, cell phones will be stored in cell phone garages for the duration of class in ALL of your classes. All of your teachers will be using the same system and will have the same expectations.
Why do we think this is good for you?
It will limit the distractions of your phone and communicate in ways that distract you from learning.
It will make learning EASIER because your brain won’t compete for what to pay attention to!
It will help you connect with others in real life in ways that can build community.
It will help protect you from cyberbullying or harassment in the online space.
We’re all looking forward to a great year of learning together!
