ARC

The after school Academic Resource Center (ARC) is a place students can come to complete their homework and get tutoring support. We have support from adult volunteers, staff members and student tutors.  Students must be at the ARC by 3:00 unless they are working with a teacher, have a 6th period, or attending a school sponsored club or sport. This is not a social club and students must be doing schoolwork or academic work to be allowed to participate.  If students are not doing school work they will be told to leave and exit the building. The last day of ARC for this trimester is tomorrow,  Thursday, November 15th.
