Thank You For Your Patience

We are aware that some students are still without IPads and others without logins or both. The district is working diligently to rectify these issues as quickly as possible. Please know that students WILL NOT be penalized for work they have been unable to access, and we will make every necessary accommodation to ensure that students are successful in their studies here at ARS.
