We’ve LOVED seeing so many of you in the Academic Resource Center (The ARC) this year! As we approach the final trimester of the school year, we want to ensure 606 continues to be a consistent place to be productive. Please keep in mind The ARC space is a designated academic workspace. It is open to students during drops, lunch, Office Hours, after school, and/or with the permission of their classroom teacher. You should use 606 for the following purposes:

• To attend a scheduled or drop-in academic coaching appointment;
• To work on academic tasks independently and quietly; 
• To work on academic tasks in a small group quietly;
• As an alternate space to meet with teachers and/or tutors.

 You should NOT use 606 as a place to gather socially (lunch is the ONLY exception!). You will be asked to relocate if you are disruptive and/or not engaging in academic work of some kind, and, moving forward, 606 will be closed when there is no adult supervision. Thank you for adhering to these guidelines, so we can maintain the integrity of The ARC space! 

Coming Soon:

We would like all voices, groups, organizations, and clubs to be represented, united, and cherished! Reach out to Ashmi Trivedi ’24 atrivedi@cannonschool.org if you have questions.
