Second chance for Skyward Updates
The Skyward Family Access "Student Information Update" is back open! If you didn't take the opportunity to complete it in the fall, we ask that you please do so now during this "second-chance" open period. In addition to basic demographic information, this is where important health, housing & attendance forms are gathered in order to better serve the students in our district. Please login to your Skyward Family Access account and select the Annual Student Information Update alert link !. (If you don't see the ! in your account, you don't need to take action.)

Nick of Time: Cardiac Arrest Screening
Wednesday May 4, 2022, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Anacortes HS Gymnasium
1600 20th St, Anacortes, WA 98221
Nick of Time Foundation in partnership with the UW Center for Sports Cardiology conducts ECG youth heart screenings for adolescents and young adults ages 12-24. Screenings consist of a Heart Health Survey asking about possible signs & symptoms or family history of a heart condition. An ECG is performed that analyzes the electrical signals of the heart and the results are reviewed on site by medical professionals experienced in ECG youth heart screens. A simple ECG can identify certain serious heart conditions that cannot be detected by a stethoscope. Most serious abnormalities have no warning signs.
Student screening forms can be found here, or at AHS.
All students must pre-register for an appointment at: https://bit.ly/NoTFEKGAppt and submit parental consent forms.
Return completed forms to Ms. Morgan in the main office or scan and email to: imorgan@asd103.org

Anacortes Public Library Partnership
Thanks to a partnership with the Anacortes Public Library (APL), all Anacortes School District students and staff have access to the public library and their services. To make it as easy as possible for students to use the library, previous student library accounts have been changed to match ASD student ID numbers. Since elementary students do not have student ID cards from school, library cards have been passed out this week during parent-teacher conferences along with informational bookmarks.
School library staff will be collaborating with APL staff during the month of March to provide information about all the services available with an APL card. We hope students are able to take advantage of this exciting partnership and visit the Anacortes Public Library soon. For more information and to see virtual library tours, see here for elementary students or middle school/high school students.
