🎓ACS Early College Spotlight: Only 25 days left for our current 10th graders to apply for Early College! Today’s highlight is ACC’s Van Lare Hall, which underwent an $8.7 million renovation in 2022. ACC’s admissions, nursing program, student success/tutoring center, and more is housed at Van Lare Hall. When 9th graders tour ACC annually they are able to tour the nursing program where they can test their skills in the nursing lab by listening to the lungs and checking the heart rate on a simulation mannequin.

OK2SAY is a student safety program which allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment. We are excited to share that our school will be hosting presentations on OK2SAY. Parents/guardians were emailed additional information. Please feel free to contact the elementary or middle/high school office for questions. #alconaschools #ok2say
We are looking for 3rd through 5th graders to fill our remaining spots on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. Don't miss out on these awesome opportunities!

🎓ACS Early College Spotlight: Today’s highlight features one of our current senior Early College students, Emily Samp. Emily is enrolled in the Industrial Technology Program at ACC. She enjoys taking classes in welding, CNC machining, and manufacturing. Emily is on the ACC Dean’s List and on their Skills USA Team, which is a chapter of the national organization that provides leadership and competition opportunities for America’s most highly skilled career and technical education students. Something unique about Emily is that she is a full-time college student, as well as a high school student. Typically Early College students are not enrolled full-time in college until their 5th year. Emily was proactive in planning ahead and taking college courses early; which will allow her to complete her associates degree next year through our Early College Program. Current ACS 10th graders can apply to EC by April 8th at: bit.ly/ACS-EC-App #alconaschools #earlycollege #applytoday

This week Alcona's biology students went to explore the Hammond Bay Biological Station. There, they learned about Great Lakes science and the many different professions that come together to successfully operate a research station. Such jobs include computer scientists, chemists, research biologists, data base managers, engineers, scuba divers, communication professionals, interns and so much more. The trip opened the door to learn about future job opportunities and allowed students to be part of, and contribute to, current biological research at Hammond Bay. #alconaschools #tigerpride
