Today’s tip for NTDSW is to remind parents to get involved. Check out the Teen Driver Parental Toolkit: https://www.michigan.gov/msp/divisions/ohsp/safety-programs/teen-drivers/teen-driver-parental-toolkit #AlconaSchools #PutYourFootDown #DriveSafe #NationalTeenDriverSafetyWeek
October 16-22 is National Teen Driver Safety Week! ACS is proud to partner with the MSP and promote the importance of safe driving. Everyday we will be sharing important facts and resources from the MSP to help parents and guardians. To kick off our campaign check out this video from the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s2pcYmCOKI Today’s fact is that teen drivers are 3x more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than drivers over 20 years old. Research shows that teen drivers whose parents put their foot down are only half as likely to be involved in a crash.

Today juniors and seniors attended Alpena Community College’s Open House!

Thank you for offering this wonderful opportunity to area students, ACC! Did you know in 2022 15.7% of our high school graduates were in Early College and of those, 25% graduated with an associates degree from ACC before they graduated from high school?

FAFSA is used to help apply for grants and scholarships available through the Federal and State Government. This is money you don't have to pay back. It also helps colleges and trades schools see what else you can apply for at their school. Don't miss out!
