Advisory Updates
Our vision is to continue to develop our community into a place where all students can thrive academically and socially. This week we invested in our student community by holding up our Arete High School Athletes. We gathered in the courtyard for a school-wide prep rally, supporting our varsity teams for homecoming. Homecoming games start at 4:30 on Friday.

Next week for Advisories we will begin our semester long Dodgeball tournament to see which cohort will be the 2019-20 dodge ball champion. Stay tuned for the tournament results and advisory updates. 
 As always, please direct any questions about Ad visory to Mrs. Attridge and Mr. Vaughan .
