A Note From the Principal
ABC's & 123's
What an incredible way to end the school year together. Gathering for an all school chapel warmed my heart and reminded my once again how much I love this school and all of your kids. It felt fitting to end my career as principal sharing advice in the form of ABCs and 123’s:
Always tell the truth
Become the person you WANT to be
Control yourself
It’s easy as 1, 2, 3...
1. God
2. Family
3. Friends
Thank you for a tremendous year. There is no other school quite like ACS and I happy to end my career on this happy note.

Supply List
Check out the K-8 Supply List and plan for Aug 24!
From the Library
In case you're interested, there are many summer reading clubs available for your kiddos. Here are a few we've pulled together!
Summer Office Hours
Although we are looking forward to summer break we will still have staff in the office from time to time. Please see our summer schedule below:
Tues, Wed & Thur 9:00am-2:00pm or by appointment
Chickens Available NOW
As part of our integrated outdoor education curriculum, we plan to have 6th grade students learn about and enjoy the process of hatching chicks, raising pullets, caring for hens, and managing their "Got Yolk" egg business each year.
Hatching new chicks each year means we need to find homes for some of our adult chickens each spring!
If you would like one or more of our adult chickens, please contact our Farm Manager, Miss Leah, as soon as possible. Our feathered friends will be given away on a first come, first serve basis! (gro.naitsirhcada@ikswokneisl)
Host Families Needed
We will be welcoming several new families to ACS come fall. Would you consider being a host family for the upcoming school year? As a host family you will introduce yourself to an assigned family that has a child entering the same grade as yours. We encourage you to welcome them and serve as a resource for them.
Interested? Contact Mark Stuit, gro.naitsirhcada@tiutsm
Summer Lunches
The Michigan Department of Education provides free meals for students over the summer break. For a location near you, please follow the link for the "Meet Up and Eat Up" map.

Discover the exciting camps we are offering at ACS this summer. Whether your child loves art, technology, music or outdoor ed there is something for them!

Recess Helper Thank You
