Message from the Principal

Dear Students and Parents,
 
I could not have predicted seven years ago when I arrived at AHS, that I was embarking on a journey more challenging and more rewarding than I could have imagined. I have personally and professionally encountered great successes and disappointing failures. Through each event, I valued the experience and growth that came from working with such talented and passionate people. I am a better person and principal because of the people around me.
 
I am proud of what we have accomplished together and wish to continue the relationships, academic and facility improvements, and goals that we have created at AHS. What I didn’t know was where my journey would take me and the role I would play in leading and supporting these efforts. 
 
The AUSD Governing Board and Superintendent Dr. Shawn appointed me to fill the Deputy Superintendent position that will be vacant due to Dr. Leri’s acceptance to lead the Truckee-Tahoe Unified School District as their new superintendent. I feel this vote of confidence in my leadership is a direct reflection of our work together over the last seven years. In this assignment, I will have k-12 program and site responsibilities and continue to maintain a relationship with the campus and staff that have been my home. Like all change, I am feeling the mixed emotions that come with a decision like this. I have always appreciated the strong k-12 articulated curriculum and programs in AUSD and look forward to joining the district team to continue that work for all students in our district.
 
I will begin my new position March 1st, as well as remaining principal of AHS through graduation. This will allow for the head principal position to be advertised beginning in March. I am confident that the thorough process will identify a strong candidate that can fill the position by July 1st.
 
I hope to have the opportunity to share with each of you personally my appreciation for the respect and support you have given me over the years.
 
-Mr. Vannasdall

Parent & Student Portal

 

Arcadia Unified School District is pleased to announce the opening of our PowerSchool Parent and Student Portal for all middle and high school students.  In our ongoing effort to support communication between parents, students, and teachers we are excited to provide you with electronic access to your students’ grade and attendance information.  Viewable information includes end of term grades, historical grades from previous school years, real time attendance information, and access to current grade and assignment information for classes using the PowerTeacher grade book.   Please note that not all teachers are currently using the grade book to calculate their grades, for some classes this information will not be available. 

Letters have been sent home with specific login information for parents.   To access the student portal, go to powerschool.ausd.net (no www).  Use your Student ID number as your username and your password which is the same as your network login.

Arcadia High School Peer Tutoring & Outreach


Getting started with the tutoring program is fast and easy.

Tutoring takes place at the AHS Library Monday-Thursday from 3-4 PM, so first head to the Library. Once you arrive at the library, identify the tutors by their pictures posted up on the Tutor Roster (a sheet that lists pictures of all the tutors available for the week, and what subjects they tutor). Feel free to approach the tutor and let him or her know that you need tutoring in that specific subject for the day. And voil�! That's all you need to do to start getting tutored!

To find out which tutors are tutoring on a given day, check this website or the Tutors Roster available at the AHS Library to find out the days certain tutors are available, and which subjects they offer. Then you can feel free to either drop by on that day after school or call up the tutor to reserve your tutoring spot with them the day that they are tutoring.

Be sure to arrive by 3:15 to reserve a tutor, as most tutors who have yet to receive tutees leave at 3:15. So drop by, connect with a tutor, and get started!
