Attention Seniors!! Our senior parent meeting is next Wednesday, Sept 11th at 5:30 p.m. in the AHS auditorium. Our team will go over everything you need to know for your senior year!
SENIORS - Make an appointment with your counselor so that we can go over some items together. This appointment could last anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending on how much we have to discuss.

Attendance
Attendance calls home.
Phone calls informing you of your student absences have already begun. In order to avoid these calls about your student absences, you will need to contact the Attendance Office at Alpena High School.
For Tardy calls, if your student does receive a lunch detention, the teacher will schedule that with your student.
You can reach the Attendance Office by phone, email, the APS staff directory website, or ParentVUE. Please leave a note if the entire day is not excused.

OK2SAY is the student safety program which allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.
