As our 8th graders consider their high school options, the following upcoming events will help them make an informed decision.

The ARHS Showcase is scheduled on Thursday, November 19th for all 8th graders.  The Showcase is an event designed to highlight the wide array of academic and extracurricular opportunities at Apponequet.  Students will receive a building tour, an academic panel about elective and core course options, and an activities fair that encourages engagement with ARHS staff and students. 

Each week we will look at grade level attendance for the week. Our goal is that each day 97% of our student population attends school daily. Please remember if your child is going to be absent for any reason please call the absent line to make us aware of the absence. 

Grade Level Attendance 9/28-10/2

Grade 6: 95.4%

Grade 7: 97.5%

Grade 8: 96.6%

Let's keep the momentum going!

8th Grade Parents - In the coming weeks we will soon be sending more information regarding the 8th Grade Dance and looking for volunteers to help with the coordination and planning. This is a keystone event for our 8th graders!  Keep watch for more info or feel free to reach out to us at flmspto96@gmail.com.
