Congratulations to junior Harriet Bartell for being named

Spartans of the Week! (Week of November 11):

“In her very first year as an Athens Academy cheerleader, Harriet has quickly made an outstanding impression. She exemplifies hard work, dedication, and a drive to learn and perfect correct technique. In practice, Harriet is always adaptable to changes and challenges making her a reliable teammate. On the sidelines, her spirit shines through with her smiles, cheers, and impressive tumbling. In addition to her skill and work ethic, Harriet’s kindness and supportive nature are undeniable. She is a dependable teammate and a wonderful addition to Spartan Cheer as she embodies the spirit of a Spartan both on and off the field!”

– Kellye Hill, Head Coach Varsity Cheerleading

Attention Students!

Starting Tuesday at 4:00 p.m., you can make online requests to add or change your second-semester electives. Please note that only students who wish to add or change an elective need to submit a request. Be sure to check SpartanNet for detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to complete your request.

Other Important Reminders:

Not all students will need to request an elective. If you’re happy with your current electives, no action is required.
Students enrolled in Band & Orchestra do not need to re-enroll for the second semester.
Academic sections will not be adjusted to accommodate elective requests.
Priority will be given to upperclassmen when processing elective requests.
Freshmen wishing to drop a study hall must be in good academic standing. Additionally, requests for a second elective will need parent and Registrar approval.
Tutoring Services: If you receive tutoring, please include a note with your request so we can ensure your schedule is properly coordinated.
Only electives for which you meet the prerequisites will be available for selection.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Bowles at jbowles@athensacademy.org
