Greetings ACS,
Thank you to all who came
last night to Kick-off! It was a
great evening to meet everyone, see classrooms, and dispense valuable
information. We know many items were discussed last night and if you ever have
a question, please do not hesitate to call the office, 827-4700. We will begin
regular office hours Wednesday, Sept 7. They are every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm.
I am looking forward to a fantastic year! We have new teachers
who are very excited and whom God has brought to us at just the right time. The
new families will be a great addition to our ACS family as well. Finally,
Student Council has already been working this summer to ensure a fabulous
school year. Thank you to all our families, faculty, volunteers, and staff who
are dedicated to serve and sacrifice for ACS and for the ministry of our Lord!!
Summer reading
should be completed by now! Remember,
this is for all returning students and new students who were informed of the
program over the summer. This will count as your first reading test grade for
all of these students. The requirements for each grade level are as follows:
K-3 grade 400-800 minutes; 4-6 grades 600-1000 minutes; 7-12 grades 800-1200
minutes. Each student needs to turn in a reading log of titles and minutes with
a parent signature verifying what was read. This information can be typed or
handwritten and given to your teacher by Friday, September 7. Don’t forget
about the prize drawings!! We have been collecting prizes to be drawn from
McDonald’s gift certificates, a WalMart gas card, and a WalMart gift card to
name a few! We will have random drawings for each age group and a grand prize
for the most minutes read!
I have just a couple of
announcements which I failed to mention last night. On the bottom of your child’s
student schedule was listed your school
board representative. Each school board member is assigned a family to
contact and communicate with throughout the school year. If ever you have a question
or issue you would like to discuss with a school board member, please feel free
to call your representative.
Also, we will not be providing milk this year at lunch. The program became burdensome to
keep up and the majority of families did not want to participate. Therefore,
please send something for your child to drink at lunch in addition to their
regular water bottle. On another note, please take time to read the dress code in the student handbook. It
is an issue we as administration ask that parents deal with at home before
students ever enter the school building. The dress code applies to male and
female students of all grade levels. Spirit
Days are special days for our school. On these days we encourage students
and teachers to wear ACS apparel or school colors – red, black, and white.
Crazy outfits and hats are acceptable on Spirit Days. These days will be put on
the events calendar. Finally, the school
directory is listed on the website and is accessible only with a password.
The password has not changed. If you need it, please call the school office as
it is only given to ACS families.
Thank you for taking the time
to read this lengthy bulletin! I look forward to seeing you Wednesday!!
Happy Birthday to You: August
