First semester is winding down. Dec. 16-20 is the last week of classes. We will follow a normal schedule that week except for Friday, Dec. 20 when students will come to school only if they have previously arranged with a teacher to make up classwork or testing. Final grades will be posted on Campus Portal in early January. Second semester classes will begin on Jan. 7, 2025. We hope everyone has a great break and a happy holiday season.
The Arvada Harvest Festival is holding a Young Entrepreneurs' Holiday Craft Fair and wants students to sell their arts and crafts. They can set their own prices but need to attend the fair to sell the items. The fair is Saturday, December 7 from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm at the Arvada Jaycee’s Hall, 56th & Yukon in Olde Town.
