Applewood Christian School

Hello ACS,                                                                                              

            Thank you to those parents and teachers who came to the Parent/Teacher Conferences last night! Your attendance was much appreciated! However, due to the poor attendance, we will not be having spring parent/teacher conferences next year. Remember that all of our teachers are only a phone call away should you ever wish to speak with someone!

            Please keep our basketball teams in prayer as they travel to Springfield, MO for the National Christian Homeschool Nationals tournament. Games begin on Tuesday and last until Saturday. Our teams will be driving back and forth each day so please pray for their safety in all areas!

            Iowa Basics Testing is quickly approaching. Everyone should have received a flyer this week with all information concerning testing. Grades 7-11 will only be testing on Monday and Tuesday. Grades 2-6 will be testing Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Testing is only in the mornings and will be finished by 11:30 am.

Cognitive Testing: Cognitive testing is a part of our Iowa Basics Testing and is only for grades 3, 7, and 9. The testing will be in the morning of Thursday, March 21. We sent a notice home this week.
