Student Fees and Parent eHandbook
For all the latest on fees, academics, school rules, office procedures, and everything else you would want to know about AA, take a moment to review the Parent eHandbook. Remember, before school starts, parents are asked to sign a statement acknowledging that they have read the handbook. So, stretch out on the patio with your laptop and read about all the nuts and bolts at AA - you may learn something new! A frozen umbrella drink is optional…
