    Hello ACS,                                                                                     

     

                School seems to be progressing quite well! As I have been speaking with new students, families, and teachers, all are transitioning smoothly into the ACS family! Thank you for everyone’s hard work to make this a great school year.

     

    Lost and Found: Even though school has just gotten under way, we have our lost and found beginning to pile up. Students and parents, please take time to look at the black shelf outside the office to see if there is something that belongs to you! We may also have some items in the office if you are ever missing something.

     

    School Supplies: If you have not done so already, please bring in your supplies for the office. We will be running short of supplies if we do not receive what was asked for from each family.

     

    Homework Surveys: One way we work to keep school running effectively is by doing homework surveys. On Monday, we will be sending home a homework survey for each student. We ask that you time how long it takes to complete the homework assignment for each subject. Please record this information for Tuesday and Thursday and have your child return the surveys on Friday. We will then look at the information and see how classes and students are faring. Thanks!!    

     

    Sports Senior Recognition: Friday, Oct 4 - During the varsity soccer and volleyball game, we will be recognizing our senior athletes. Plan now to attend and support these great student athletes!

     

    Parent/Teacher Conferences: Please mark your calendars – Monday, October 7, 6 pm

    We are doing conferences earlier this year. Rather than wait for the quarter to be finished, we decided to try conferences after mid-terms of first quarter. This gives each student and teacher a chance to better understand assignments, expectations, etc. before quarter grades are given. We look forward to seeing each family!

     

    Picture Day/ Eye Exams: Friday, October 11 - Order forms will be sent home soon. Josh Greer will be taking our school pictures once again. The pictures and eye exams will begin right after opening. Dr. John Drenon will be doing eye exams for all students who did not attend the sports physicals. Please thank both of these families for volunteering their time and talents to ACS!

    Hello ACS,                                                                                      

     

                Thank you goes to Brian and Erica Daniel for coordinating our emergency service day! It was a huge success! We had highway patrol, Pettis County fire trucks, an ambulance, and not just one, but two helicopters! All ages learned a lot and had fun! If you haven’t done so already, please ask your child about their experience. Several of the service personnel were even able to stay and eat lunch with our kids! Thank you, Mrs. Crosier, for a great lunch, going the extra mile for our guests!

                Just a reminder to families – please sign in at the office if you are late for opening or coming in after appointments. Also, if your child is sick, please call the office to let us know. If your child needs to leave early, call the office or send in a written note and sign them out at the office. This enables us to keep track of all our students and would be vital if an emergency ever occurs. Thank you!

     

    Scrip Card FUNdraiser Winners: The following families helped us earn $100 by purchasing over 10 cards each: Boyd, Price, Rehmer, Koeller, and Bussey. Their children each received a giant candy bar for their efforts. Congratulations to the Boyd family for selling the most cards! They received a $10 Pizza Hut card. Keep up the good work as we earn money for our school!

     

    Boston Fundraiser: El Tapatio – Thursday – 5-9 pm:  Come support our students as they raise money for the Boston trip. El Tapatio will donate a percentage from each ticket and from donations; they do not earn tips.

     

    Spirit Day: Friday – Come to school dressed in ACS apparel or school colors. This is to show our support and excitement for our varsity teams as they head to Columbia on Saturday for a tournament!

     

    High School Students and Parents: There are two opportunities coming up for students to explore colleges. Tuesday, Sept 24, is college and career day at State Fair Community College. This event is typically in the morning. Another is Monday, Sept 30, in Shawnee, Kansas. This is the KC Christian College Fair from 6-8 pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to see several Christian colleges at once. If you are interested in the KC Christian College Fair, please call the office and I will try to gather a group to attend.

     

    Sports Senior Recogintion: Friday, Oct 4 - During the varsity soccer and volleyball game, we will be recognizing our senior athletes. Plan now to attend and support these great student athletes!

    Hello ACS,                                                                                      

     

                We are so excited to be having a day when emergency service vehicles and personnel will be here! We will have a patrol car, an ambulance, a fire truck, and a helicopter.  We invite any and all family to join us for this exciting event! This will be an excellent opportunity for all age groups to see and hear from each department. They will be here from 8:30-11:30 am. Students will be divided into 4 groups and visiting each station for about 20 minutes. Grades 6-12 will be from 8:30-9:45 am and grades K-5 will be from 9:45-11:25 am. A big thank you goes to Brian and Erica Daniel for coordinating this event!

                I would like to remind parents when they send in checks to please mark in the memo line what each check if going towards. We handle several different accounts and purchases throughout the year and this would be a huge help. Thanks!

     

    Summer Reading Winners: Congratulations to Shiloh Conroy for being our overall winner this year! Her prize was a nook given by an anonymous donor! Our other top readers for each group were as follows: elementary- Autumn Sparks, junior high- Victoria Sparks, and high school- Joel Reed. A paper was sent home listing the top 3 winners in each division and the top 10 readers overall. Thank you also to those who donated prizes: Reader’s World, Shepherd’s Place, Mighty Melt, Mazzio’s Pizza, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell! Please thank those businesses if you get a chance!

     

    Box Tops: Summer Contest Winners: Congratulations to Victoria Sparks for being the top earner; she will receive a free school t-shirt! The top earning class was the 2nd grade! The next three top classes (K, 4, & 6) were only 20 box tops apart in total numbers; that’s a close contest! We collected 1659 box tops which is $166 for ACS! Great job!! Mrs. Bessert would like your ideas for the September contest. Please put suggestions in the box top “box” in the office and she will collect them Friday, September 20.

    Happy Summer ACS,                                                                                      

     

                God always wants to keep us on our toes and on our knees! We praise God that we have hired a Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Debra States. Debra is working on her education degree later in life and is excited to have a life-long dream come true by teaching Kindergarten. She just completed her associate’s degree in education this spring.

                We need prayers for another position however. Renie Neske, who we hired this summer, will not be able to teach after all. She was teaching a variety of classes in grades 5th-7th. We are currently looking to fill her position. If you know of someone, please have them contact the office at 827-4700. We know God works all things according to His good purpose!

                School supply lists will be handed out at the skating party. We will be posting them on the website as well. Our goal is to have them completed in time for tax free shopping weekend. Yes, it’s that time already!

Thank you!

     

    Parent Volunteer Jobs: Let’s not forget that it takes all of us to run ACS! If you have not volunteered for your family’s minimum of 3 points, please click on the parent job list link and do so today!

    Happy Summer ACS,                                                                                      

     

                As we approach Independence Day, I would like to say thank you to all our military families who have sacrificed to protect our country’s freedom! It is not a sacrifice taken lightly! May God bless you all! May we also continue to pray for our country and our leadership as we see our nation continually moving away from Christ and His principles.

                As is the nature of Applewood, things change quickly. Mrs. Tisha Sparks has decided to pursue a career in the Sedalia school district; we wish her God’s blessings! Now, we are in need of a Kindergarten teacher. If you know of someone who may be interested, please have them contact us as soon as possible. Thanks! Your prayers are always needed and appreciated!

               

    Summer Skating Party: Monday, July 29 – 6-8 pm at the Wheel Thing. This is our annual summer get-together! The family club switched venues from the pool due to the very hot weather we have experienced the last few years. It’s also nice to have a change of pace every now and then! We are allowed to bring snacks. This is a great time to see friends and meet new classmates!

    Greetings Applewood Family,                                                                         

     

                Happy summer, ACS! I hope everyone is enjoying their time off from school! I have just a few reminders for the summer in this month’s bulletin. First, please remember to be reading for the summer reading program. If you have forgotten what that entails, you may click the scrolling link on the home page.

                Second, June is the month for returning students/families to pay their September tuition payments. This ensures your spot is held for the up-coming school year. Please remember that tuition has been raised to $155 per student and not to follow the amount on your coupon sheet. Thank you!

                Third, if you know of someone who may be interested in attending ACS, please have them look at the website, download a student application, or call the office at 827-4700. We are in the office weekly and will be checking messages. Below is a list of which grades have openings this fall and the number of students that we could add to that grade.

                Finally, be looking for a postcard to arrive from family club within the next few weeks. This will have the dates of our summer get together (which may be a skating party, instead of a pool party), our new student/family orientation, ACS Kick-off, and the first day of school! You may also check the website calendar for dates and times! God bless as you enjoy the rest of summer!!

     

    Student Openings: The following is a list of all grades and the number of students that grade could add to reach our capacity of 8 students: Kindergarten – 4; 1st grade – 4; 3rd grade – 6; 4th grade – 3; 5th grade – 5; 7th grade – 3; 8th grade – 3; 9th grade – 4.

    The following grades are full with 8 students in each grade: 2nd, 6th, 10th, and 11th.

    If you know of someone who may be interested, please ask them to contact the office. Also, you could let your churches know that we have openings for the fall. Thank you!

     

    Parent Job List: During the summer is when parents have an opportunity to review their volunteer positions. The list in now open and people are checking to see where they would like to serve for this coming school year. All you need to do is click on the parent job list icon on the home page.

    Greetings Applewood Family,                                                                        

     

                We have a praise report! As of today, we have filled all of our teaching positions! We welcome all of our new teachers for this coming school year: Mrs. Linda Bell, Mrs. Robin Blake, Mrs. Anna Boyd, and Mrs. Renie Neske. I know God has great things in store for us all!!

                We still have a few families who have not turned in books or picked up grade cards. During the summer, Mrs. Hiller and I are in the office but we do not have regular office hours. We need you to please make arrangements with one of us to turn in your books or pay any outstanding fees before we are able to give out your grade cards.

               

    Book Fee: Just a reminder that our May payment is the book fee payment. Please remember that the book fee has gone up and your current payment sheet is not correct. The correct fee is $165 per student. Thank you!

     

    June Payments: In June, all of our returning families need to pay their September tuition payment. This enables us to hold your class spot for the up-coming school year. If this is not paid by June 30, or arrangements made to be paid, we will consider that spot open for any new applicants. Also, please pay the new tuition rates when sending in your payment. The tuition for each student is now $155. Thank you!

                Well, school is officially over today! The kids are busy working around the school cleaning and contributing to the well-being of ACS and Maplewood Church as I write! It is quite the chaos of activity!

                We thank our families and students for such a wonderful year! We have seen great success and growth in all grades! As we enter the summer months, please spend time reading with your kids, spend time enjoying each other, and spend time glorifying God! Also, each month I will be posting a new bulletin with any up-coming information; when I do, I will notify you through email!

                Again, thanks for a great year!!
