Update on Extended Year
Thank you to all the parents and staff who put so much time, heart and energy into saving Extended Year for Argonne. Unfortunately, the district's various scenarios they put together did not offer any viable options -- all requiring the site to pay for Extended Year out of our already reduced site budget and not allowing teachers any non-service days. While this is a huge loss for our school, we are grateful for our passionate community and look forward to emerging from this stronger as we work together to continue highlighting what makes Argonne so special.

The Benefits of Extended Year Education
