Arcata High School registration

Eighth grade students went to orientation at Arcata High School yesterday to tour the campus and see presentations from many of the teachers of elective classes that are available to them next year. Today, the AHS course catalog and registration packet were given to all eighth grade students. The blue registration packets must be complete and in the hands of students next Thursday, 2/11, when AHS counselors will come to our school to pick up the packets and meet with students individually. All eighth graders will have recommendations from their science, math, and language arts teachers by tomorrow so that packets can be completed over the weekend.

If you have any questions, contact Arcata High School or your student's homeroom teacher.
