Mar 13

Dear Parents,

Your ACS administrators and teachers LOVE opportunities to learn together. The news from Governor Whitmer at 11pm yesterday is providing us a great opportunity to do just that -- learn together! 

We began our day sharing the many ways God has blessed us and thanked Him for his faithfulness. We have much for which to be grateful.

As we take our first steps in the journey of “off-campus learning”, we are committed to doing our best for our students and families. We realize we will be learning as we go. Thank you for your understanding and support.

In addition to preparing materials and plans for “off campus learning” the hard surfaces in classrooms have been disinfected, along with exterior faces of many lockers.

What to expect in the coming three weeks:

ACS will be open from 5:00-7:00pm TODAY, Friday, March 13 and from 8:00-10:00am on MONDAY, March 16.

• Please make arrangements to visit ACS during these open windows to
• Clean your child’s locker by removing food and winter clothing -- leaving lockers neat and tidy.
• Visit your child’s homeroom class to pick up “off-campus learning” materials that students will need for next week. It will be located on your child’s desk.
• Eggs may be picked up by our “Got Yolk” members.
• Farm Market Shares can be picked up by “Salad Club” members.
• Additional farm products will be available.

Beginning Monday, March 16 and continuing each morning Monday through Friday, you can expect a daily email reminder to visit our ACS home page where you will find a link to daily lesson plans.

• PLEASE DO NOT BEGIN WORKING AHEAD ON THE PACKETS THAT ARE PROVIDED. Following DAILY teacher instructions is important.

On Mondays, March 23 and March 30, ACS will be open from 8:00am-12:00pm allowing time for parents to drop off completed work and to pick up that week’s “off campus learning” materials. 

• Students in grades K-4 are asked to put their completed work in their mailbox.
• Students in grades 5-8 are asked to put their completed work on their homeroom desk.
• New materials will be on the student’s homeroom desks.

On Monday, March 23 and March 30 during ACS open hours:

• Eggs may be picked up by our “Got Yolk” members.
• Farm Market Shares can be picked up by “Salad Club” members.
• Additional farm products will be available.

To help prevent the spread of illness, we are respectfully asking families to keep school visits brief.  Our goal is to minimize the number of people in our building at one time. If you are ill, please do not enter school and arrange for someone to pick up your child’s work.

ACS Administration and Faculty
