2021-2022 Enrollment - Due Apr 23
Dear Parents,
It is time to re-enroll your student(s) at ACS for the 2021-2022 school year. We ask that you complete the online enrollment form by Fri, Apr 23.
To complete the enrollment form for 2021-2022:
- Log into PowerSchool using your web browser (laptop/desktop recommended over a mobile device)
- Click on "Forms" in the left navigation menu
- Complete the relevant forms
There is a Tuition & Grants section on the form.
- The first TUITION amount you see is the calculation for the “Requested” or “Full Cost” amount of tuition.
- In the GRANT section, thanks to the generous, ongoing support of the ACS Education Foundation and our annual fundraising efforts, you will see the maximum grant amount you may accept towards your tuition. The grant is available for all families. Families that are able to pay the “Requested” or “Full Cost” of tuition will receive a charitable receipt for the difference (Thank You!).
- For families needing additional tuition assistance, you may complete an online application through FACTS, by May 14. Qualifying families will be notified of the assistance amounts no later than June and adjustments to your tuition total will be made at that time.
Covenant Care registration is also open at this time. If your family wishes to have Covenant Care for your K-5 student(s) please fill out the Covenant Care form.
We have worked hard to ensure our online enrollment process will go well for our families; however, we realize you may have questions during this process. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank You
Thank you so much for your tremendous response to donating gently used books for the GRPD Volunteers to hand out to neighborhood children.
The GRPD is so grateful to you for the incredible number of book donations which surpassed their wildest expectations!
Your book donations filled 54 containers! Each container holds approximately 45 books resulting in a whopping total of 2,430 books.
The books enable officers to connect with children that they encounter during their shift times and also promote the importance of reading. Volunteers this past weekend stopped in several inner-city neighborhoods and handed out over 100 books. Each book was received with enthusiasm and a BIG smile.
We are extremely grateful for your overwhelming support of this program.
