Hello ACS Family!
It’s hard to believe that the summer is almost over and another school year will soon begin. We had a great time at the pool party! Parents were visiting and students stayed in the pool until the very last minute. The youngest ones really enjoyed it when it got dark and the lights came on in the pool.
The following announcements were made:
Directory – Tammy Price has been updating the school directory.
If your family has had any changes in phone, email, or address since last year. Please give Tammy a call at 827-0532 and give her your updates.
Parent Jobs – Monica Triplett is in charge of parent jobs this year. She will be sending out a letter with a list of the jobs that are available to each family. She will be calling each family to see where your talents can be utilized.

School Board Meeting – Aug 20 at 7:00pm in the ROC.
There is one last area that I need to discuss. There is an ACS Family that is struggling this year and are unable to afford to send all their children to Applewood. At this time ACS does not have a school scholarship program to offer this family. In the past we have relied on the generosity of the ACS community to meet the needs of our own. If you know someone who would be willing to put money into a monthly scholarship fund for our families in need please contact our school board treasurer Jon Church at 829-1199.
See you at the Kick-Off Aug 30!
