Interested in a career in Early Childhood Education? According to the MSU Community Evaluation Program, our community is considered a childcare desert. Through Alcona Community Schools’ Early College Program, students can start their path toward becoming a preschool teacher, teaching assistant, social worker, daycare provider, or even a childcare center director, all while still in high school! Thanks to our partnership with Bay Mills Community College, students can earn up to an associate degree at little to no cost, with certificate and degree programs available fully online. Early College applications open in 10th grade at: bit.ly/ACS-EC-App. Questions? Contact Ms. Cordes at cordesh@alconaschools.net or 989-736-8534.

At Alcona Schools, student safety is our top priority. That’s why we support the Okay2Say initiative, which encourages students to speak up when they see or hear something concerning. Whether it’s about a friend, a classmate, or themselves, it’s always Okay2Say. Together, we can create a safer, more supportive school community. #alconaschools #okay2say #studentsafety #tigerpride

Our 2nd graders took a special journey into the future today! Students enjoyed a read-aloud of the beloved book Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss, which encouraged them to dream big and imagine the endless possibilities that lie ahead. After the story, students created a time capsule that will be saved and opened at their Senior Breakfast in 2036. As part of the activity, students were asked, "Imagine you could travel ANYWHERE in the world! Where would you go?" They drew pictures, wrote about their destinations, and shared their biggest dreams for the future. We can't wait to see how their adventures unfold over the next decade! Thank you to Ms. Cordes and AJHS Member Sophia for helping coordinate this activity and to our second grade teachers Ms. Misiak, Ms. Scott, and Ms. Read for making this possible. #alconaschools #secondgrade
