AMHS uses two methods of reporting grades for students.
1) OnCampus provides information on a semi-monthly basis. This information includes specifics on student grades such as homework assignments, quizzes, class participation, projects, and exams. Parents and students may review a student’s progress by consulting OnCampus. Teachers upload grades at the middle and end of each month.
2) Report cards are emailed to parents at the conclusion of each quarter and each semester. Grades on the second and fourth report cards are the semester grades and are the basis on which credit for the semester’s work is determined. Only semester grades appear on the transcripts. The first and third quarter report cards are considered formal student progress reports.
Report Card dates for the 2017-2018 year are: Quarter One: October 30, 2017 (report card only); Semester One: January 16, 2018 (report card and unofficial transcript); Quarter Three: March 19, 2018 (report card only); Semester Two: June 1, 2018 (report card and unofficial transcript)
