Showcase
Parents, we need your help with Showcase this year!
The annual Showcase Portfolio presentation has been a time-honored tradition at Arroyo Seco Junior High for over 16 years. This event is an ideal opportunity for 8th graders to showcase their hard work and accomplishments to members of our community, and we would your help in making this a relevant experience for our students.
In the ongoing effort to ensure Arroyo Seco Conquistadors are college and career ready, we will be adding an additional component to Showcase this year. Eighth grade students will now participate in panel discussions revolving around career pathways. If you, or somebody you know, are available on Thursday, May 30th to speak with our 8th graders about any of the below career fields, we would greatly appreciate your time and expertise. Parents, family members, and friends of the family are all welcome. We encourage 7th and 8th Grade parents to participate!!!
