Hello Applewood families,
School is going along great! The students and teachers are settling into a ruitine by now. Our first tests are being given but it looks like some of our older students aren't back from summer vacation yet. Parents, please keep track of when your students are having tests and encourage them to study. They know about their tests at least a week in advance and should have them written on their planners.
Friday, September 26 our varsity soccer and volleyball teams will be attending a tournament in Columbia. We will not be having school for grades 8 - 12, as there will only be a few students left in those grades. Homework will be given for Thursday. All other grades will have school as normal. On the school calendar, it lists Oct 31 as a "no school" day due to a sports tournament (MAACS). That tournament has been cancelled so we WILL have school on Oct. 31.
The school board will be meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 6:30pm in the Green room in the ROC. An agenda for that meeting has been emailed to you.
We will be ending the family club fund raiser this Monday (Sept 22). We will be collecting all the paperwork at this time. If you are interested in a "buy out" option, please contact Gaye Hiller at 826-7580. Thank you for all the hard work you have been doing in support of this fund raiser, we love having our afternoon secretary!
Concession stand schedule. Students went home yesterday with a schedule for the concession stand workers. If you are unable to make the date you are scheduled to work, please trade with someone else who is working on a date that is better for your schedule. Then be sure to contact the office about the trade so our master list is correct.
Christian College Fair, Sept. 29 in Shawnee, KS. I will be taking any high school students that are interested in visiting representatives from the 37 Christian colleges. (A list of the attending colleges went home with the students.) We will be leaving directly from school and will be stopping for dinner. Students will need to bring $8.00 for gas and money for dinner.
ACT test. Juniors and Seniors should be registering to take the ACT. The deadline to take the test Oct. 25 is Monday, Sept. 22.
Just a quick note about the ACS directory. Phone numbers, addresses, emails, and student's names are all priveleged information and should not be given out to anyone outside the ACS family but should be treated respectfully and carefully.
Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Young
