Good evening, Andover High School Families, this is Jimmy D’Andrea, Principal of Andover High School, with your Sunday evening message.
Schedule for This Week
There is no school tomorrow, Monday, January 19. First semester exams will continue on Tuesday, January 20, and Wednesday, January 21. School buses will run on their regular schedules both days, but students are not required to remain at school after the exam blocks if they have other forms of transportation. We will have regular days of school this Thursday, January 22, and Friday, January 23, and will follow Day 1 and Day 2 schedules, respectively.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to all of the students who participated in our Winter Concert last Tuesday evening. The performances were outstanding! Special thanks to Mr. JJ Kuchan, Director of Bands; Dr. Lauren Peithmann, Director of Choirs; and Dr. Derek Voigt, Director of Orchestras.

Senior Safari Parent/Guardian Volunteer Information Meeting: Thursday, January 22
Senior Safari is an important community event that ensures the safety of our seniors the night after graduation. It takes parent/guardian volunteers from grades 9, 10 and 11 to make the event successful, because senior parents are not allowed to attend the event. To learn more about Senior Safari and how you can support it, parents/guardians from all grade levels are invited to attend an informational meeting this Thursday, January 22, at 7:00 pm in the AHS Library. Please note that attending the meeting does not commit you to volunteering. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Career Mentors Needed
For more than 30 years, the Service Club of Andover has partnered with Andover High School to offer a career mentoring program for juniors. The program allows student participants to shadow in a career interest of their choice. We are currently finalizing the details for this year and are seeking additional volunteers to serve as career mentors. If you are interested or would like more information, please email Ms. Aixa de Kelley, Guidance Coordinator, at aixa.hilariodekelley@andoverma.us.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions or concerns. Thank you for your support of Andover High School, and have a great evening!
