ALLEN ANNOUNCEMENTS

Welcome to the 2020-21 school year!

Class of 2024 - Meet Your Teachers! 

DEVICE PICKUP! 
Given the unprecedented circumstances surrounding our community and our nation, the 2020-2021 ASD school year will begin virtually. It is our goal to provide a 1 to 1 device, so that each student receives their own ASD loaner device and one hotspot per family to stay educationally engaged. PICKUP DATES THIS WEEK. 

ALL GRADES FRIDAY 9/4/20 from 9am to 12pm. 

The pickup location will be on the right side of Linden ST, underneath the NGC bridge. Staff and cones will mark the location for either drive up or walk-up service. A parent or guardian listed in sapphire, with ID is required to borrow the device. Students entering 9th grade must return devices to their middle school before coming to Allen.
