Character Trait for April
This month's character trait is perseverance. As we approach the end of the school year, it's more important than ever to stay determined and keep pushing forward.
What is perseverance?
The Webster Dictionary describes perseverance as not giving up. It is persistence and tenacity, the effort required to do something and keep doing it till the end, even if it's hard. In simple words, it is the ability to keep doing something even when it is hard, no matter how long it may take to reach the goal.
It is the continual effort in working towards something. These last 30 or so days of school, students and staff keep working hard and trying until that last day! We have state testing coming up, which will show us our effort throughout the year, and as we continue to push to the very end of the 2024-2025 school year!
Ways to Help Students Learn Perseverance:
Praise effort
Model perseverance
Challenge students
Give kids opportunities to help others
Set realistic goals
Write positive affirmations
Give encouragement
Perseverance helps students manage their emotions
Thank you for partnering with us to foster this character trait in your child.
Warmly,
Mrs.Johnston, Archie School Counselor

I am sure you have started the countdown and know that the year will be over before we know it. Be on the lookout for information regarding things you will need to take care of before you leave us. You will receive a senior checkout list reminding you to pay fees, turn in books, etc. You will also need to provide us with your plans after high school and share your contact information. If you don’t already have a personal non-Archie email address, you will need to create one. This is an exciting and sometimes stressful time, so do not hesitate to reach out if you need help.
If you plan to use A+ funds next year, you must submit a copy of your FAFSA Summary Report to Academic Services. In addition, you must complete the A+ Intent to Access Funds (linked below). We will not be able to put the A+ Seal on your transcript if you do not have everything completed. See the Intent to Access Funds to ensure you have completed each step of the process. Your FAFSA Summary Report and Intent to Access funds must be submitted to Academic Services by May 2nd. If you need a paper copy, stop by and we will print one for you

Freshmen Orientation
Please join us in the Dome on Wednesday, April 9th at 6PM. Mr. Schulte and I will share information with you and your child to help ensure a successful high school experience. Rising 9th graders and their parents will meet their new advisors who will show you the DRAFT of the schedule your child created. These students also took a career interest survey and will share that with you, as well on the Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) that we will revisit each year. Please join us for this exciting time.
Open House/Schedules
Students have created a DRAFT course selections for the 2025-2026 school year! This is an exciting time as students have the opportunity to choose courses that will help them meet graduation requirements, explore career opportunities, further their studies of interests, and continue to challenge themselves.
Please join us Wednesday, April 9th from 4:30-6 PM to see the DRAFT of the schedule that your child created for the 25-26 school year. These drafts will be in the classroom of your child’s advisor. Mr. Schulte and I will be available in the commons to answer questions.
While Archie High School makes every attempt to meet the curricular needs of students by offering a variety of courses and programs, please know that sometimes a student's first elective choices may not be available. We will always make graduation requirements a top priority and help your child choose electives that reflect their interests and career goals as best we can.
Scholarships
Scholarship season is in full swing and keeping us quite busy. A few reminders:
-If you want us to mail a scholarship for you, it is due in Academic Services at least 3 days prior to the deadline. If you do not meet this deadline, you will need to mail the application yourself.
-Double check to make sure the scholarship is complete BEFORE turning in the application. Once the application has been turned in and scanned, it will not be given back to you.
-Scholarship applications are scanned, in case somethin happens to the application, so please do not staple your application. Please know that scanning and storing scholarship applications is a process so be mindful and turn them in a few days before the deadline.
The Archie R-V app will continue to provide families and the community with event updates, current events, and other important information.
One of the enhancements to the app is the use of ROOMS. This will be replacing Remind. Why make the change?
All communication is through one app
Notifications available via text, email or app
Receive updates from teachers
No code needed
Maintain open communication with teachers about your child(ren)
The Archie R-V School District previously used the Tyler Student Information System (SIS); however, due to company changes, we were required to change systems. Many of you have completed on-line registration on our new system, Infinite Campus. A BIG shout out to Mrs. Becky Deardorff and Mrs. Michelle Mell for their leadership throughout this transition.
We ask that you have patience and understanding throughout this school year as ALL staff and families will be navigating this new system. Our administrative assistants will do their best to answer your questions or get back to you with an answer as soon as possible. Again, thank you for your patience.
