                Iowa Basics Testing is this coming week! Everyone should have received a flyer today with times and a revised schedule should we have bad weather Monday. It seems March is determined to go out as a Lion! We will do a one call should bad weather occur and we need to use the alternate schedule. If your student has conflicts with the alternate schedule, please do your best to reschedule as testing is very important. If you cannot reschedule to accommodate your child’s testing, please call the office to let us know. Hopefully, the weather will not be too bad and we can come to school Monday!

                Congratulations are in order for several of our basketball players! Jacob Bergman and Katie Rieckhoff made Honorable Mention All-Regional! Meredith and Miranda Crosier made the All-Regional Team! They are continuing today and tomorrow to compete in the National Tournament. Please keep them in your prayers. The girls’ team has made it into the top four teams in the gold bracket, Small School division. The boys’ team is playing in the 3A Small School division.

                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.

                Well, I hope everyone has enjoyed their time at home this week. For those without power, you were in our prayers! Additionally, please keep Mrs. Furrey in your prayers. She had emergency surgery Thursday morning and will be in the hospital until Monday. Please pray the Lord’s will in her healing process and whether or not she should be going on her mission trip to Haiti!

                I am looking forward to Monday and starting the last few months of school strong! This is the time of year where we begin accepting applications for new students and teachers. Our best recruiters are our families! So, please be speaking to those you know about Applewood!

                Also, Mrs. Amy Furrey will be traveling with a team to Haiti the first part of March.

Please bring non-character stickers or balloons to the office before March 1.

    Hello ACS,                                                                                                 

                As we prepare for the up-coming school year, we ask each family to pray about your participation and contribution to ACS. Today, we sent student intent forms home. These forms allow you to state if you will be returning to ACS. This is vital for us to know as we accept new in-coming students’ applications based upon your answers.

                We also need you to be praying as to how you would like to serve next year. We have an abundance of opportunities for you to help ACS. Please be looking over the Parent Volunteer List now and praying where God wants you. Remember, we have several large jobs opening soon – Athletic Director, Inventory Specialist, Senior Lunch Coordinator. We couldn’t accomplish all that we do without wonderful families like you!

     

    Lunch Forms: If you have not turned your February lunch form in, you may do so Monday to be included in the week’s lunches.

     

    Valentines: This year we will not be having a separate party. However, we are still exchanging valentines on Friday, February 15. Also, the Boston group is selling the “Kisses” bags for $1. Orders need to be brought to school Feb. 8 and will be handed out the week of Feb. 11.

     

    Box Tops: Fabulous February! Every student that turns in fifty box tops will be entered into a drawing for $50! Turn in 100 box tops and be entered twice! The class with the most box tops will earn Fudge Sundaes. January winners: Victoria and Autumn Sparks tied and will share the 5 pound bag of Jolly Ranchers. The 5th grade class won the pizza party! We received 1,437 box tops in January! Way to go, ACS!!

               

    ACS Directory: We have made changes to the directory as people have requested them. This would be a great time for you to compare your paper directory with the online directory. The online directory is the most up-to-date. If you have forgotten the password for the online directory, please email the school office. Thanks!

     

    Father/Daughter Dance: Saturday, February 16 at ACS, 6:30-8:30 pm – Student Council is sponsoring a father/daughter dance for all school age girls K-12 and their dads, uncles, or grandpas!

    Hello ACS,                                                                                                 

     

                As we prepare for the up-coming school year, we ask each family to pray about your participation and contribution to ACS. In the next few weeks we will be sending student intent forms home. These forms allow you to state if you will be returning to ACS. This is vital for us to know as we accept new in-coming students’ applications based upon your answers.

                Again, we need someone to step up for the positions that will be open next year. Some positions need time to learn and transition. Inventory Specialist is a position that would need training to do. Kelley Bergman is currently in charge of ordering and inventory of all our books and testing. She will be doing this next year, but would like to train someone as that will be her last year. Athletic Director is another of those positions. Cindy Rieckhoff will not be filling this position next year and we would like someone to come along side her this spring to train under her.  Senior Meal Coordinator is another that needs time to transition. Paula Crosier will be doing it next year but that will be her last year. Anyone interested in this position could mentor with Paula all next year. If you are interested in either position or have questions about them, please call the office 827-4700, or Kelley, Cindy, or Paula. Thank you!

     

    ACS Directory: We have made changes to the directory as people have requested them. This would be a great time for you to compare your paper directory with the online directory. The online directory is the most up-to-date. If you have forgotten the password for the online directory, please email the school office. Thanks!

     

    Papa John’s Fundraiser for Boston: The 7th and 8th grade classes are working together to raise money for their Boston trip. Papa John’s pizza fundraiser is Wednesday, January 30.

Who will the winner be this time??

     

    End of the Day: This is just a reminder that school “officially” closes at 4 pm. We need all students picked up by that time unless arrangements have been made with an adult and given administration approval. Thank you! This enables us to keep students safe at all times.

  • January 18, 2013

    Greetings ACS,                                                                                          

     

                It may seem early to be thinking of next school year, but we are doing just that in the office! We are already looking at what positions will need to be filled next year for teachers, students, and parent volunteers. Please be in prayer now about where your family would like to be involved at Applewood!

                Some positions take more time to accomplish than others and need time to learn and transition. Athletic Director is one of those positions. Cindy Rieckhoff will not be filling this position next year and we would like someone to come along side her this spring to train under her.  Senior Meal Coordinator is another that needs time to transition. Paula Crosier will be doing it next year but that will be her last year. Anyone interested in this position could mentor with Paula all next year. If you are interested in either position or have questions about them, please call the office 827-4700, or Cindy, or Paula. Thank you!

               

    End of the Day: This is just a reminder that school “officially” closes at 4 pm. We need all students picked up by that time unless arrangements have been made with an adult and given administration approval. Thank you! This enables us to keep students safe at all times. 

     

    Father/Daughter Dance: Saturday, February 16 at ACS, 6:30-8:30 pm – Student Council is sponsoring a father/daughter dance for all school age girls K-12 and their dads, uncles, or grandpas! Tickets are $5 per person. There will be photos taken, dessert, and dancing.  The attire for the night is semi-formal: nice dresses, men in slacks, etc. Please invite your friends to join us for an enjoyable and memorable father/daughter date!

     

    ACS Carnival: January 26 – The theme this year is “All around the World”. Each booth will be themed around a country. Mark your calendars as this is a big night for ACS. It raises quite a bit of money for the student council and is a lot of fun for the entire school family! Invite your friends and neighbors to join us!
