ALL LEARNING LAB
Does your teen need a quiet place to study? Does your teen need tutoring after school?
Join us in the AnHS Library, after school, every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 2:35 to 4:00 pm. Students can get help in all subjects, use Chromebooks/computers, printers, and calculators, and access Library Resources.
We can even provide documentation for the time the student attended. Just have them ask Miss Raatz or Mrs. Gorkhali for an ALL attendance slip. We are ALL in for student learning and success here at Antelope High School.
ALL Learning Lab will be closed on the following dates for Staff and District meetings:
April 23rd
May 21st
