ACS NEWS & ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

ACS is looking to add substitute teachers and aides to our list. If you have interest, or know someone that might, please reach out to Brian Koetje, Head of School, at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org to learn more.


Help! The recess duty committee needs you! With the growth of our school, we now need the help of 3 volunteers each school day. We cover the morning recess from 9:55 to 10:40am and the lunch recess from 12:20 to 1:30pm. The requirements are to love kids, love ACS staff, and pass a background check. The time commitment is about 1 hour twice a month. Parents, grandparents, or those with a love for the ACS community are welcome. Can you help? If you can, please email Jennie Keegstra at jenscholtens@hotmail.com or text 6164432448 for more info!


Classroom Lunch Coverage Opportunities! Our need for lunch coverage in classrooms is back this school year! This is a GREAT way to support our teachers and allow them time with their teaching teams for professional development opportunities and planning purposes. Please consider signing up to cover your child(ren)'s lunch period so their teacher can step out of the room for these opportunities! Click HERE for the Sign-up Genius and see what dates are available. Thank you!
