Hello ACS Families,
It is hard to believe that we are already making plans for Christmas, the prom, and graduation in the ACS office. In some ways the school year passes by so quickly. Students received their mid term grades last Monday. Please show us that you have seen them by tearing off the bottom signature portion and sending it into the office.
Tickets for the fund raising dinner went out Wednesday. If you did not get yours please contact the office right away. It is very important that every ACS family do their best to make this event a success.
We also sent out copies of some of 4 of our most important policies that were recently reviewed by the school board this summer: The Attendance Policy, Late or Tardy Policy, Late Homework Policy, and the Dress Code Policy. Please review these policies as we have already had several students in danger of violating them. Keep in mind, all of the ACS policies are available for download or merely to read on this web site in the download section.
Enjoy the fall!
Mrs. Young
