Per Governor Whitmer's press conference Thursday, April 2, 2020 face-to-face learning across the state has been canceled for the rest of the calendar school year. This does not mean that learning will stop! When the Michigan Department of Education provides guidance to schools regarding educating students for the remainder of the year, staff at Athens Area Schools will design a distance learning plan which be equitable for all students. As we receive news and information we will continue to disseminate it to members of the Athens community.
In an effort to ensure students do not go hungry during this extended period of closure, Athens Area Schools will be providing eligible resident students breakfast and lunch in a to-go bag. These meals will be provided free of charge. Beginning Tuesday, March 17, cold breakfast and sandwich-based lunches will be provided at East Leroy Elementary and Athens Jr/Sr High School. Pick-up times will be from 7:30 to 10:30 at AHS at the student parking lot/cafeteria entrance. Pick-up times at the elementary will be from 3:30 to 6:00 at the gym entrance doors by the bus parking lot. On Friday, three days' worth of meals will be provided to carry students through the weekend. The last day for meal pick-up will be on Thursday, April 2. Meals for April 2 to April 5 will be available at this time. Thank you.

Parents are our partners in the education of the children. We value what you have to say and would encourage your input anytime. We will use the information we receive to determine how we can improve. This survey will provide you with an anonymous way of giving us your views. You may drop it off, send it back to school with your child and have them turn it in to the office, or you may mail it to us. We would really appreciate it if you took some of your valuable time to give us feedback on how we are doing as a school.
