General Announcements

Students are reminded that they should carry their student ID during the school day.

Because of the holiday yesterday, all Science Make-Up Labs (Chemistry, Biology, and Integrated Science) will run TODAY after school!

Are you feeling like a hippie? Tomorrow is Tie Dye Day. Be sure to deck out in awesomely bright colors. Congratulations to all homecoming royalty. Every day this week, student council will sell tickets for the dance during both lunches in the cafeteria for ten dollars. You can also purchase tickets at the door for fifteen dollars.

Student Council would like to announce its class of 2013 officers. Class president is Kyler Genereaux, Vice President is Stacy Lukasiewics, Secretary is Haley Hawkins, Treasurer is Will Okazaki, and publicity officer Bailey Winter. Thank you as well to all of our runners-up.

EeePCs are in the library! Students may checkout a EeePC Netbook to use in the library –all you need is your student ID. The EeePCs are a great option if all the desktop computers are being used or you’d simply like to sit at a table to complete your work. The wireless access in the library is excellent. The next time you need to use a computer, drop by the library and give one of these a try.

Students…..If you have received an Arapahoe Student Calendar that has several pages of the calendar section incorrectly assembled, please go to the Main Office to exchange it for a corrected version. Apparently one case of calendars was distributed with this assembly mistake. Thank you!
