Live The Story
Ephesians 2: 8-10
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Class Placement Request ACS teachers will meet soon to assign class placements for students where multiple class options exist. The child’s teacher knows the situations where students will experience the most growth. Factors that are considered are academic, social, and emotional needs, as well as the boy/girl ratio balance. ACS parents should only request special consideration for their child’s classroom placement if there are extenuating circumstances. These reasons may include unique social and emotional needs, possibly that the school does not know about. Please focus your requests on the needs of your child, as opposed to a specific teacher. Please click here for the form Forms must be turned in to the school office no later than May 14.
Reminder: Tomorrow there will be a special Zoom Society meeting to vote on allowing the Board of Directors to pursue a loan, if needed, for the construction of the full expansion. The meeting will consist of an update on progress, along with a vote. Parents and financial supporters of ACS are invited to join.
Topic: Special ACS Society Meeting

Please bring these tickets with you the evening of the concert to be collected at the door. We will also be live streaming the concert (link to come closer to the date of the concert) so you can share it with those that aren't able to attend in-person.

It is so important that parents send healthy kids to school. If you have a child that is not feeling well, please keep them home. If these are typical symptoms for you child, and not worsening, and there is no reason to believe there has been a contact to a positive COVID case, students may return after following normal protocols, like 24-hours fever free. Please use the 'Who Must Stay Home' document below (page 2) as a guide for when students should stay home.
There are many other documents on our re-opening page that can answer many questions you might have, specific to ACS, or more general procedures for schools regarding COVID, staying at home, etc. Here is the LINK to that webpage.
