ASSE International Student exchange programs is working diligently to secure volunteer Host Families for exchange students to attend your local high school. Our deadline to place is August 31st which is just around the comer. Finding families this year has been more challenging than ever due to COVID. For certain students, this year is the only chance they have to spend a year abroad and fulfill lifelong dreams. ASSE is committed to making those dreams a reality.
Begin Your Lifelong Friendship Today.
To begin your exciting cultural adventure and make a special friend for life, or to find out more about exchange opportunities for your high school age child, simply, apply online at www.host.asse.com. Your family will soon discover that the exchange lasting just a school year, semester or even a few weeks (shorter term programs) will bring rewards lasting a lifetime.
District phone lines are back up. Have a safe and happy 4th, Alcona!
Currently the district phones are down and have had some intermittent issues the last two days. Please be patient as we are working to resolve these issues. At this time staff can be reached via email.

Alcona 8th Graders buried time capsules today. They plan to dig them back up in spring of 2025 when they are graduating.
The district wanted to apologize for the early call yesterday with a reminder about the last day of school. It was scheduled to go out later in the PM, not AM. A setting was accidentally not adjusted. Thank you for your understanding. Again, not intentional.
