You are invited to this year's Foundation Dinner, Live! The event will be held on Tuesday, October 17, starting at 6pm in the ACS Gymnasium. Join us as alumni, teachers, students, and parents walk through how an ACS education helps them Live the Story. Please click HERE for more information regarding this event and to RSVP!

Missing school for an upcoming planned trip? Please fill out the Planned Absence form and turn it into the office at least one week before leaving. A link to the form is located down below in the 'Quick Links' section of the News & Notes, as well as on our website in the 'Lists, Forms and Handbooks' section of the 'Parents' dropdown menu.

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!

The Walk-a-thon is coming up on Friday, September 29th! Your child should have brought home information earlier this week, as well as a pledge sheet and collection envelope. This is one of our largest fundraisers and the kids have so much fun participating in it! Each student has a $100 fundraising goal, and the money raised is used for field trips and items to enrich the teachers' classrooms. Additionally, if you have a 5th -7th grader, half of the money they raise can go toward the cost of their middle school Grace Adventures trip the following year! What a great opportunity! The pledge sheet and all donations are due the day of the event. However, you are welcome to have your child(ren) turn in theirs earlier if they have collected everything they need to! Thanks for sharing in your child(ren)'s enthusiasm for this event and helping make it a successful fundraiser!
