Plan To Attend: ACS Annual Society Meeting – Mar 26, 2019 at 7:00pm
The time is fast approaching for our Annual Society Meeting. This annual meeting is where the embers of the Ada Christian School Society (faculty, staff and parents of children in grades K-8) gather to formally vote to approve the school's budget for the 2019-2020 school year, elect new members to the Board, and to approve the proposed Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended Bylaws of the ACS Society.
We'll also take time to distribute Staff Service awards and to hear reports from the Principal, the Director of Advancement, and the Board.
Begin reviewing the information now
Looking forward to seeing you on the 26th.
Advertising in ACS Yearbook
The ACS yearbook is primarily funded through the help of the PTO and through selling advertisements that are placed in the back of the book. Through these generous donations, we are able to provide a free yearbook to all of our K-8th grade students. The cost of a 1/2 page ad is $150 and a full page ad is $300. Limited space is available.
Interested? Contact Henry Witte, (gro.naitsirhcada@ettiwh)
Spring Break Plans
Leaving early? Coming back late? If you are planning to leave early for and/or coming back late from spring break with your family please notify the office and their teachers several days in advance. The parent must call or email, not the student. The teachers are not required to prepare assignments or school work in advance for students to take on vacation. Your child’s elementary teacher will hold assignments for him/her and give them to the student when you return. For middle school, it is the student’s responsibility to ask the teachers what work needs to be made up following the absence.
