						<description><![CDATA[Creating an account on the AJHS website allows you as a student or parent to subscribe to teacher webpages and receive automated emails each day as teachers post assignments to their classroom webpages.  <br> <br><br>AJHS parents can create an account and add their children's classes to "My Classes." This account will customize the website and allow parents to see just the classes that they subscribe to when logged in to the site.  Creating an account will also send daily assignment notifications to the email address associated with the account. Parents with children at multiple schools can create accounts on the AJHS and AHS websites.  <br><br>AJHS students who create accounts get the added bonus of being able to submit assignments online if their teacher has set up an assignment to allow online submissions. In order to do this, students should print out or write down their verification code that is generated during the registration process. Students should then bring their verifation code to one of their classroom teachers or Shannon Griggs in the AJHS Library Media Center for verification. <br> <br>Please see the documents below to help you in creating either a student or parent account, and you may want to contact your email service provider for assistance with configuring your email account to receive automated emails from our site.  Automated emails can sometimes end up in your trash, spam, or junk mail folders.]]></description>
