For today's #TBT we're doing a shout out to the 1989-1990 yearbook! Check out the Varsity Football Team, National Honor Society, and Mr. Mancine on his Harley with Batman (aka Mr. Petrovich). Students at Alcona in 1990 were “Unlimited!”
Good morning.
A recent executive order may allow the district to incorporate more spectators at home events. We are still waiting for clarification from the MHSAA so no changes will go into effect until at the earliest, 10/9. Until then we will continue to allow two guests per participant. Entry to the event will require a contact tracing form upon arrival and all attendees must abide by the spectator expectations.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

In order to be able to provide instruction for students on a daily basis, we are in desperate need for substitutes in all areas! Without subs, we will be forced to transition to remote learning days when staff are out sick.
We've linked below the state of Michigan requirements for substitute teachers. Please feel free to share widely!
