  • Important Announcement for Seniors: We will begin sending out mid-year reports to colleges Tuesday morning.  If there is a problem with your mid-year report, you must notify Mrs. Garrity in the Guidance Office by 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, and we will hold submission of your report until the required changes are made.
  • Feeling stuck on where to start when it comes to writing a great paper? Come to the first monthly mini-writing workshop in the library tomorrow, Tuesday, February 12th from 2:30-3pm. We'll be tackling how to break down research questions--and how to create your own--in a fun and informal workshop open to all students. Questions? See Ms. Lewis in Rm 141 or Ms. Stocker in the library for more info!  
  • Since the official abolition of slavery in 1865, not one resolution formally apologizing for centuries of systematic and entrenched oppression has passed both chambers of Congress, including efforts to do so in 2009. Why has America not apologized for slavery, and what role would a state apology play in addressing historical injustice and healing divides? 
    Join Critical Connections this Wednesday, February 13th from 7-9 PM at the Jones Library 
    for a conversation with former White House fellow Dr. Ted Johnson. Refreshments will be served. Questions? Email Leif Maynard or Ms. Camera (NOT A SCHOOL SPONSORED EVENT)
  • Reports card will be handed out to all students during the 10 minutes Advisory at the end of the day today.  After getting your report cards, 12th graders please fill out the superlatives survey, 11th & 10th graders who have not picked a presenter to watch on Career Day, please make your choices during the short Advisory. And 9th graders, congratulations for making it through your first semester of high school!  
  • Best Buddies, a national organization dedicated to promoting friendship between individuals of all abilities, will be meeting on Tuesdays from 2:30-3:30pm in the cafeteria and occasionally move to the community.  The first meeting, for example, was a trip to Glazed Donuts.  If you like friendship, fun, and the occasional maple cream donut, this could be the club for you!  Please contact Mr. Kusek at kusekc@arps.org for more information.
