- ARPS will be offering the official State Seal of Biliteracy to graduating seniors in spring of 2022, as well as Biliteracy Pathway Awards to students in grades 6 and 8. The Seal of Biliteracy is awarded by the state department of education and local school districts to recognize students who attain proficiency in English (listening, speaking, reading and writing), as well as one or more additional languages learned in school or another setting, as measured by standardized language assessments. This recognition will be included with students’ high school transcripts and diploma, and serves to certify attainment of a student’s biliteracy for employers and universities.There will be an information meeting on the Massachusetts Seal of Biliteracy on Friday, November 19th, 2021 during all lunches in room 147. Presentations will be short so that you can go eat lunch outside. Come learn about this exciting opportunity. We will have pizza! Contact cisseo@arps.org if you have any questions. Merci!

The ASVAB is a multiple-aptitude battery that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success in the military. If you are a junior or senior interested in enlisting in the military, or learning about potential careers as a result of the ASVAB test, you must sign up in Guidance and Counselor. The test is around 3 hours long. You will have to get permission from your parent or guardian, and the teachers from the classes that you will miss. Your name and scores will not be sent to military recruiters. A second session reviewing your scores and careers indicated will be scheduled after the ASVAB exam. See Ms. Cuffee-Gray for permission slips.
