AMHS uses two methods of reporting grades for students.
Teachers provide grade information on a semi-monthly basis through an online grade reporting system located in the parent portal. To access the system, parents should login to the parent portal, click on their student’s name and then on the grade for each course to see specific assignments. 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 the portal gradebook. Teachers upload grades regularly during the school year (at least twice a month on the 1st and 15th).
Student progress should be checked regularly by parents (we recommend twice a month) and questions or concerns about student progress should be directed to the students' teachers.
Progress reports are posted at the conclusion of the first and third quarter (Oct. & Mar.) and transcripts are posted at the end of each semester (Jan. & May). The first and third quarter reports are considered student progress reports. Only semester grades appear on the transcripts.
Quarter Reports and transcripts may be printed from the school's Parent Portal. Posting dates for the 2023-2024 school year are:
Quarter One: October 27, 2023 (progress report only); Semester One: January 10, 2024 (unofficial transcript); Quarter Three: March 17, 2024 (progress report only); Semester Two: June 3, 2024 (unofficial transcript)
