A&R's Late Summer Picnic at Maneeley's is fast approaching and will be held on August 31.  Cost of the picnic is just $15.  Cash bar available.  All A&R members are welcome to attend.

The deadline to register for this event ended 8/24/2018

On Tuesday evening, August 14, the Detroit Board of Education approved a revised academic calendar for the 2018-2019 school year. It includes a new set of dates for spring break: April 1-5. The previous academic calendar outlined April 19-26 as a break.

It is unfortunate that the dates were changed, however, the district needed to comply with the Wayne RESA common calendar and student testing schedules. The revised calendar also eliminates one-hour-early releases on Wednesdays.
