A Note from Principal Brower
Welcome to your 3-day school week! You can do this. Let’s do our very best to have school work caught up and completed so Spring Break can be just that - a break!
Brief Questionnaire
We are hoping to gain some helpful feedback from parents regarding our launch of Off-Campus Learning. Please take a few minutes of your time to help us improve by completing the questionnaire at the top of each grade's off-campus learning document.
ACS Drive “Bye”
Wednesday, Apr 01, 3:00-3:45pm
We really miss seeing our kids! So, our faculty and staff members are going to be lining up outside of ACS on the sidewalk spaces in our drop-off and bus loops so we can wave good-bye to our students at the time we would normally have been sending them off for Spring Break.
Join us if you can by entering the school off Ada Drive and driving through as we wave to you and your family! Cars need to exit on Fox Hollow. All ACS families are asked to remain in their cars and to travel down the center of the drives in single file.
Good to know:
I called the health department and, also, our school liaison from the health department to ask if our ACS Drive “Bye” plan is in compliance with the Stay At Home mandate from Governor Whitmer. Both parties assured me we are abiding by the guidelines as long as we are outdoors and at least 6’ apart as cars drive by.
See you soon!
Optional Drop-Off Details
Wednesday, Apr 01 from 9:00am-12:00pm
Let’s get ready for a well deserved Spring Break!
If you wish to drop off your child(ren)’s work before Spring Break gets started, it will grant teachers some extra time to grade the work and may feel really good to you to get it into their hands so it does not get misplaced over break (not that kids ever misplace things, right?).
Grades K-4 (and Spanish for all grades if parents are already coming to ACS)
- Tables will be set up outside in front of ACS.
- A clearly labeled box for work being returned will be on each table.
- To respect the “social distancing” guidelines, please allow 6’ between you and others.
Quote for the week:

Daily Devotion
Listen: Now we will turn our focus towards Holy Week hearing stories of Jesus’ final days on earth. Please listen to a reading from “Journey to the Cross” by Helen Haidle called “Sunday Sunrise”. This is based on Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-8.
Respond: When the world was dark and all seemed lost, these women discovered the greatest light. Jesus is alive! What joy! Sometimes it can be hard to remember this Joy especially when life is a bit different than what we are used to. Help us to proclaim that joy. He lives! He is good! Listen to the song Joy.
Prayer: Dear Lord, Thank you that you not only died for us, but you rose again to reign over us. We are so thankful for your sacrifice. Help us to choose joy today. In Jesus Name, Amen.
