Yearbook distribution will take place in the AR Office at lunch today, Friday, May 15th. Yearbooks are $70 cash or check made out to Academy of the Redwoods. If you already purchased a yearbook, you can pick it up at that time.
If your yearbook has blank, missing, upside-down, or wrinkled pages, please bring it to the office before writing in it so it can be exchanged. Once you write in the book, it is yours to keep and cannot be replaced.
The AR yearbook is a student publication created by students for students. Our staff worked hard to make the book inclusive, accurate, and representative of our school community. While we always do our best, mistakes can happen in a publication of this size. If you notice an error or have suggestions for future yearbooks, please email Ms. Wozny with the correction or recommendation so we can continue improving the book each year.
Come visit the History Exhibition this Friday, 5/15 all day long in CA 208! The exhibition includes displays made by first year students that reflects the research they conducted this semester for their Historical Investigations.

ADVISING
CR registration is open. If you did not turn in your concurrent enrollment form by 4/17, you will need to keep checking and registering as soon as you are able. Deadlines matter.
During your advising meeting, we created an approved plan for your classes and schedule. That is the plan you are expected to follow. If you cannot get into a class from that plan, are placed on a waitlist, or the waitlist is full, you must email Woz immediately with the class name, day, time, and your status (full, waitlisted, or waitlist full). Communication is key. If you do not let Woz know, it will be assumed you are following the plan we made in advising. If you register for classes that were not approved, or you do not communicate changes, your DE form may be pulled and you may lose access to CR classes.
If you do not meet the required conditions for CR classes or your assigned tier level, we will need to move to your backup plan or schedule a meeting to discuss placement.
CR Art Classes: If you are registering for an Art Class that has an associated fee, please follow these steps:
Check your WebAdvisor account for any fees related to the class.
Take a screenshot of the fees displayed.
Send the screenshot to Gina at rsalmon@fuhsdistrict.net.
