    Verse of the day:  The same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him.  Romans 10:12

    Iowa Basic Test - Academic Committee decided a few months back to use an updated version of the Iowa Basic standardized tests this year.  ACS had been using the Iowa Basic testing (form A), and this year it was decided to use the Iowa Basic testing (updated form E).  If you are a family that compares your child's results from year to year, please note that it is not recommended that this year's test be compared to last year's test as they are quite different.  The updated version (form E) uses current terminology that our students are more familiar with (ex:  form A still talked about a card cataglog which our students are not familiar with).  The updated version (form E) also tested our students more on their cognitive abilities than the previous form did.  We, as a committee, felt like this was a good move for our school, and I hope our families will agree.  Mrs. Bergman, our testing coordinator, is planning to send home an informative letter outlining all of the differences and benefits of using the updated form.  In the meantime, please contact her if you have any questions or concerns.        

    Academic Committee Update -  Academic Committee works hard to ensure that the needs of our students are met through our curriculum and offer support to our teaching staff.  I am honored to serve as committee member alongside some amazing women that sacrifice time each month to meet and discuss the needs of our school.  We have three members that have served on committee for many many years, but have recently decided through much prayer to pursue other interests.  The committee members that have resigned are as follows:  Debra Church (committee chair), Pam Young, and Malinda Nevils (secretary).  If you see them, be sure to thank them for their years of service.  I would also like to welcome and say a special thank you to Mrs. Kelley Bergman for accepting the committee chairperson position.  Thank you, ladies, for your willingness to serve.
