As part of my zillion other duties as an ARISS mentor, I post ARISS announcements to the SAREX-BB. Oftentimes Dave AA4KN (another ARISS mentor) will post an announcement for each specific school a few days before the actual contact that has a little more information about the school itself to the AMSAT-BB and SAREX-BB.
We do not have an ARISS only type of list.
As part of my announcements I do indicate where one can find the complete schedule. You can go to:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf This one has all of the schools that are presently in our schedule queue.
http://www.ariss.org/upcoming-contacts.html This one has the schools that have actually received their contact date and time.
http://www.issfanclub.com/ The ISS fan club always is user updated regularily.
As always, ARISS suggests that you start listening about 10 minutes before the indicated time.
73, Charlie Sufana AJ9N One of the ARISS mentors

Thanks so much for the heads up. Does ARISS have an email list I can sign up for to be notified of these events? I got a really good reception here in the Triangle of North Carolina, specifically in Durham where I work. check it out:
