REMINDER ABOUT COLLEGE CLASS TIME: If you are enrolled in any CR course, please remember that having unscheduled time during the day is a privilege. When you are not in a college class, we expect you to represent AR with respect, responsibility, and good decision-making.
As CR classes begin ending for the semester, and anytime a college class is not meeting, you are still an AR student. That means you need to use your time well, be where you are supposed to be, and continue to follow school expectations.
If we cannot trust you to manage this time appropriately, we will pull concurrent enrollment forms and place you in a full AR schedule next semester. We want you to keep this opportunity, but it requires maturity and responsibility.
Represent AR well. Make choices that show you are ready for the privilege of taking college courses. If you have questions or need clarity, please ask a teacher!
WINTER ASSEMBLY: Friday 12/19 CR Theater - REBAR is coming up with some fun holiday stuff, there will be awards, and we will be taking class (1st/2nd/3rd/4th years) pictures and the annual all school picture, so don't miss it!! If there is something you need to announce or an activity you would like to do please email Woz by Friday 12/12 at 3pm.

CLASS OF 2026
A brief overview of how you are notified of university acceptances. There is a more detailed explanation in Senior Seminar's Google Classroom.
CSUs
Decisions are released campus by campus, usually January–April.
Students get an email and must check their campus portal.
Some campuses text students, but the portal is the official place.
UCs
Decisions are posted in the applicant portals, most between March 1–April 1.
Students get an email telling them to check the portal, but the decision itself is rarely in the email.
The portal is the official source.
Class of 2026:
The countdown begins! Your final semester of high school is almost upon us and your acceptances to universities may start to come in, although many won't appear until the end of March! When that happens please email Woz and we will enter the information for our data, and Gina will create a placard for you to go up on the "Pathways to Possibilities" wall in the AR office. If you are okay with it we will also invite you to come get a picture taken for us to showcase your acceptance(s) on AR's social media.
