Christmas Program - Thank you students and Mrs. Groshart for such a great performance last night! It is always such a blessing to see the joy of Christmas so evident on the faces of our young people. Thank you to Family Club for providing the refreshments as our families enjoyed a time of fellowship after the program.
Elementary Drama Teacher - We are still looking for someone to teach K - 8 drama next semester on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:30 - 2:15. Please contact the school office if you are interested.
Hot Lunch Coordinator - Dino Ward will be stepping down as our hot lunch coordinator at the end of the school year. We have decided to go ahead and advertise the opening and see if anyone is interested in filling this position next school year. Dino will be happy to mentor and train the next person, and he could potentially begin training before this school year is finished. Please let the office know if you are interested or want more information. Thanks!
Policy Updates - The school board has made a change to policies #5010 and #4310. They have been uploaded to the website for your review. Just a reminder that all policies are effective immediately upon approval of the school board, so please get rid of any hard copy you may have of these two policies and refer only to what is on the website.
ACS Apparel - All ACS apparel has been ordered and should be done before Christmas - the goal is to get them done by our party day, but if that doesn't happen then Mrs. Mabry or Julie Morrison will be contacting you for delivery options if you plan to gift them for Christmas.
Hot Lunch Forms - Due today
