communities. Two are large: AC and BIHS. Three are smaller: AHA, AMPS, and CAS.
Assignment is by lottery but students may indicate a preference. Incoming 9th
grade students will have an opportunity to list their preferences in the spring
when they sign up for classes.<br>
<br>
All student requests will be mailed home to their parents/guardians for
approval.<br>
<br>
Your child may list as many as five or as few as two learning communities.
Students MUST list AC and BIHS, the two large programs, in the order they
prefer. If the student only wants AC or BIHS then s/he only lists those two.</span></p>
