With August 22 fast approaching, the Jackets' Nest is buzzing with activity. Teachers returned on Thursday, August 11 for staff development and by Monday, August 15, the halls at AHS were bustling. Parents and students interested in their schedules for the upcoming year--some still registering; teachers getting their rooms ready, printing syllabi and attending school staff development; athletic practices in full swing; senior pictures in action; and with the arrival of our superintendent for a welcome back message to all of the Aynor area schools, our cheerleaders, band, ROTC and chorus students were back in action welcoming Dr. Cindy Elsberry to the heart of the Jackets' Nest. The Mighty Jacket is once again coming to life from a much deserved summer break for students and staff alike. Welcome back to everyone!

With the start of school less than a week away, a few reminders for the Jacket Family: 
1) The new drop off/pick up area (located in the old senior parking lot off of 9th ave extension) will be effective on the first day of school; this area will no longer serve as a parking area for students.
2) All student parking (including senior and underclassmen) will now be located near the athletic facilities at the back of the school campus (the parking lot between the Fine Arts wing of the building and the soccer field). Students must have a permit to park on campus.
3) New visitor parking areas have been added at the front of the school to accommodate our guests.
4) Don't forget to come out and support all of our athletic programs. We will post our athletic schedules here on The Blogging Blue Jacket for you!
5) The 1st bell rings at 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday, August 22; don't be late and we will see you here!!!
