Hey, Bombers! I'm Mrs. Peachey and I'm beyond excited to begin as choir director for A-O. If you are thinking about taking an elective, why not join choir? We'll sing songs, make friends, and have a great time together. And if you're already in choir, why not bring a friend? Join us and make choir part of your school memories! See you soon!

8th Grade Promotion Update for Tonight
For several days, we have been monitoring the weather forecast for this evening. Unfortunately, it looks very likely that thunderstorms will be occurring around the time of our 8th grade promotion ceremony. In order to ensure that we are able to appropriately recognize our students being promoted, we have made the decision to move the ceremony into Bomber Gymnasium at 6:00 PM.
Please understand that this move will result in less seating being available for our guests. Additionally, please be reminded that masks are still required to be worn in schools.
Students participating in the promotion should report to the Middle School AP room at 5:30 PM to get lined up and prepared for the ceremony.
In order to make the ceremony available to as many people as possible, we will broadcast a live YouTube stream of the ceremony at https://youtu.be/GeoGCKd_8kA.
Thank you for your patience and understanding
The Middle School Promotion Ceremony is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on May 27 at the football field.
Illinois is currently in the Bridge to Phase 5 of the Restore Illinois reopening plan, which allows for 60% normal capacity limits for indoor events. If severe weather prohibits us from conducting the ceremony outside Thursday evening, we will move the ceremony inside to Bomber Gym. If this change is made, we will communicate that information as early as possible using TeacherEase on Thursday.
Virtual Freshman Orientation is tonight at 5:30pm. All 8th grade students were invited to a Freshman Orientation Google Classroom, and we will use the link in that Classroom for tonight's presentation.
8th grade: Virtual Freshman Orientation is scheduled for next Thursday 4/15. Mrs. Mendez, the counselor, will also be visiting classes to talk to the students about choosing classes on Monday and Tuesday. Contact her at amendez@argenta-oreana.org with questions.

The elementary school will be seeing students on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for the full regularly scheduled school day. (8:15AM-2:49PM)
The middle school and high school will be adding Wednesday as an in-person learning day within their current blended learning schedule (8:15AM-12:30PM).
We will be using a Remote Learning Planning Day on Monday, February 22, 2021. There will be no student attendance or remote learning assignments on this day.
The changes mentioned above will start on Tuesday, February 23, 2021.
