Tuition Assistance for 2024-2025: As we begin preparations for next school year, you are invited to apply for tuition assistance if your family tuition rate is unaffordable. We are passionate about making sure a Christ-centered education is possible for all of our families. ACS uses the FACTS tuition assistance application program to help determine assistance needs. Any family that plans to request assistance should fill out the application found at the link above. The first deadline for filing an application is March 30. If you finish your taxes after that point, please complete the application as soon as you are able. If you have any questions about tuition assistance or the application process, please reach out to Brian Koetje (bkoetje@allendalechristian.org).

Soccer Coach Needed: The middle school girls soccer team needs a soccer coach for the upcoming season. It's a relatively short season that begins with a few practices before spring break and ends about May 7. If you, or some you know, could be interested in this opportunity, please contact Nathan Wiechel, our athletic director for more information. His email address is: nwiechel@allendalechristian.org

ACS Book Fair - On March 2-8, ACS will be having its annual book fair at school through i55 Book Fairs, a company who is dedicated to glorifying God and aligning with biblical values in the book selection they provide. Students will have opportunities to shop during the week of the fair with their class. However, the community is also invited to a book fair open house Saturday, March 2, from 10 am-2 pm. 

Finally, Mrs. Koning needs your help to make the fair run smoothly (particularly since she will be 33 weeks pregnant at the time). If you would like to help, at any point, from March 1-8, she would greatly appreciate it. See this link to sign up.  If there are questions, please email Mrs. Koning at rkoning@allendalechristian.org.

Sickness: During this season of sickness, we just want to remind parents that students should be fever and vomit free for 24 hours (without medication) upon returning to school. This will help stop the spread of sicknesses throughout the school. Thank you!

Classroom Lunch Coverage Opportunities - MORE DATES ADDED! Our need for lunch coverage in classrooms continues! 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!

The 3-on-3 basketball tournament is BACK! Allendale Christian School will be holding its annual 3-on-3 basketball tournament on Saturday, March 16, at Allendale High School! There will be divisions for boys and girls for each grade level in 3rd through 8th grade. Please visit www.facebook.com/ACS3on3/ for more details and to access the online registration form. You can also check out our website with information HERE. The registration deadline is March 6. We hope to see you there!

Do you know what the Paper Gator is?? Would you love a tangible way for your child and family to be Earth Keepers?? ACS's Paper Gator is located on the South side of the building and accepts loose paper products, which are then recycled and this company PAYS our school for this trash! This trash turns into CA$H !! Take a look at what paper products are accepted here! Set up a collect station at home, work, church, tell your friends and neighbors, and work on collecting that paper and simply dropping it into the receptacle at school. Easy peasy $$$$ to help support ACS!

Did you know ACS has a committee that recycles ink and toner cartridges? There is a bin just inside the main entrance for you to drop off your used cartridges. We then turn them into classroom supplies to help support our teachers and students! Thanks for your help in turning another form of trash into CA$H!! If you have any questions please contact Jodi Oosterheert at rjo5959@gmail.com.

Parents, Please do not forget to be on the lookout for that Trash that turns into CASH for ACS! Unfortunately, many companies have scaled back with their giving, which puts a greater responsibility on each of us to do everything we can to make our Trash for Cash add up! Recently flyers were sent home with your students regarding the digital Box Tops program, please see this handout or this link for instructions on this digital program. Box Tops and Our Family Brand physical UPC's are our two main programs to earn Trash money currently. Thanks for your help and dedication to earning every penny in order to lower tuition and support our teachers and students! Don't forget to follow the FB page: Allendale Christian - Trash for Cash for updates! Questions, please contact Erin Ensing at erinensing911@gmail.
