Due to untreated ice on side streets, we will follow a late start schedule at ACHS & LCHS today January 23, 2024, starting at 9:20 am. There will be no zero hour P.E. Busses will follow their normal late start schedule pick up times.

Due to the extreme cold forecasted by the National Weather Service for January 16, D117 will be conducting an E-Learning day to ensure our students are safe from possibly hazardous conditions. All students should stay at home and participate in E-Learning using their Chromebook starting with their first-period class tomorrow at 9:20 AM.

Due to the widespread nature of power outages January 12, we are cancelling E-Learning today and using an Emergency Day / Snow Day. This school day will be made up later in the year. Details on the make-up day will be communicated through Infinite Campus and other district communication channels.

Due to the winter storm forecasted by the National Weather Service for January 12, we will be conducting an E-Learning day to ensure our students are safe from possibly hazardous travel conditions. All students should stay at home and participate in E-Learning using their Chromebook starting with their first-period class tomorrow at 9:20 AM.

All after-school activities and competitions at ACHS & LCHS will be canceled for January 9 due to the winter storm warning and road conditions locally. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility with this change as we always maintain student safety as our highest priority.

Come to the winter art show tonight from 6-7:30 at Lakes! There will be art from both ACHS and LCHS, as well as all of the middle schools. See the amazing work our students have been doing this semester!

Big thanks to the staff and community for making the CHSD 117 Math Fair an awesome learning experience! 📸 Mrs. Ecker
