Parents of Seniors:
Seniors have been invited to select and personalize a parking space at the Jr/Sr High School. All (well, a lot anyway) pertinent information is posted in the photos below. Please read through it and let Mrs. Coffman know if you have any questions lcoffman@afcschools.net . A copy of this information has been passed out to your student. Money and designs are due Monday. #classof2023 #seniors
Good Afternoon, This message is being sent to clarify reports that the Junior-Senior High School was placed on “Lockdown” this morning. The use of the term "Lockdown" is very specific and related to school safety and security. While dealing with a student issue, teachers were asked to keep students in class delaying the normal passing period. This lasted less than 5 minutes and then students went on with the daily routine. At no time was the safety of students and staff at risk. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Michael Lindy, AFC Superintendent

Varsity @ Mercer County will play at 8:00, 10:00, and 12:00. If they win their pool, they will play at 3:00, otherwise they are done after 12:00 game. These games will be held at Mercer County Junior High School, 1002 SW 6th St, Aledo. They have construction going on at their high school, so games are being held at another site.
