Amundsen High School Home

Get ready for Back-to-School!

School starts on August 24th.  Is your family ready?
 
In order to make sure that students are ready to return to school, please make sure that your student is fully registered for the upcoming school year.  This is especially important for new students, but all Amundsen students have important documents that must be submitted every year that they attend school.  
Please click on this link to learn about upcoming registration opportunities and gain access to required forms, so that you can beat the lines and register at a time most convenient for you.  Filling out forms in advance to your registration visit will make it quick and painless. 
In addition, school fees are now payable in Aspen Parent Portal. We encourage families to take advantage of the summer slowdown to get that task out of the way while it's fresh in your mind.  Thank you to the many families who have already completed the registration process.  We appreciate you!
Many of you have asked about whether we require specific supplies for students.  We do not have a required list, but we have a general supply list that we offer parents.  Individual teachers may have specific requests which they will communicate to students during the first week of school.  In the meantime, here is our recommended list.
Some families have also been asking when student schedules will be available.  Students will be able to view their schedules in Aspen beginning on August 14th.  Please note that schedules are subject to change as we endeavor to ensure that all students have the classes that they need to begin school on August 24th.  You should check Aspen again the day before school starts to make sure your student has their most updated schedule.
****Finally, we will review back-to-school information in an optional virtual session for parents on Thursday, August 20th, from 5:30 to 6:30pm.  Please join our Zoom meeting at this link.***  All families are invited, but we especially encourage families of incoming 9th graders to attend this meeting to help resolve any anxiety around that first day of high school.  We hope to see you there!
If you have any questions about registration, please reach out to our registrar, Ms. Soto, at [email protected].
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Amundsen Administration
P.S.  If you no longer plan on attending Amundsen in the fall, please reach out to AP Nguyen at [email protected] with your student's name, ID number, and the school that they will be attending.
