Action Needed

School Directory

Your youngest ACS student is bringing the school directory home this week. Extras are in the office for $3.00 each. Be sure to check backpacks and/or lockers if you have not received your copy.

Fall Food Drive

Collecting food for those in need is a longstanding service opportunity for ACS families. Our ACS Service Team will be leading our efforts this year and tables are placed at the end of each wing and in the front hall. We will collect food that will be brought to two area ministry centers. Last year ACS collected and donated more than 1000 pounds of food! What a joy it is to share our blessings! This week Friday, Nov 06 is the last day of the drive.

Hot Lunch

  • The window for ordering December Hot Lunch is Nov 01-10
  • Late orders cannot be accepted
  • Please take note of your child’s scheduled field trips and appointments. We do our best to notify you regarding field trips on the hot lunch order form and in parent letters as well.

Questions? Please contact Sue Prins ()

School Pictures

Your child’s picture was sent home last week. If you did not receive pictures, check your child’s backpack or locker. Retake day is Nov 10 if needed. Return your pictures to the office as soon as possible to get on the schedule for retakes.

Redeem your complimentary digital SmileSafe card.

Last reminder to keep this year’s school picture!

ACS Board Nominations

Our dedicated School Board is 3 meetings into the current school year and it is time to think about next year! We need to elect four new board members at our March Society meeting. If you would like to nominate an ACS parent, please contact our School Board Secretary, Briar Plantinga (). We will be accepting nominations until Nov 16.

Ski Club Sign Up

    Our ski club will be held on TUESDAYS in Jan and Feb after school until 8:00pm. We will make arrangements to carpool to Cannonsburg if needed, but you will need to pick up your child at the end of the evening. If you have younger children who are not old enough to be by themselves you will need to be there throughout the evening either skiing or in the lodge.

    • 6 years old and under get their lift tickets free.
    • Deadline is Friday, Nov 20. After that time you will need to go through Cannonsburg.
    • All the prices are on the registration form. Checks should be payable to "Cannonsburg Ski Area" and sent to the ACS office with the form.
    • Sign up now (244 KB PDF) for your ski passes and save money – 50% off the regular price.
    • Card holders may use their passes anytime, any day during the 2015-2016 ski season, including weekends.

    If you have any questions please feel free to contact Sally Schrock (550-6299, .)
