An ACMA Spectacular - A Step into the Past, a Look into the Future
The Spectacular is an all-ACMA gala event taking place the evening of May 18. The Spectacular is a true celebration of everything we love about ACMA. The evening will include art gallery shows, short films, dance, theatre, vocal and musical performances, a VIP experience, special opportunities to say goodbye to our current building, and so much more. Every penny raised will help the ACMA PTO support all departments and programs for all students.
Mr Paige, Mr Davis and Mr Bertram will be previewing the program and the PTO will share more details as well.
We need your help with ticket sales, promotions, getting sponsorships, VIP experience development, catering planning, decorations - there’s much to do to make this event as successful for the school as possible, please join us!
Help us make the Spectacular spectacular - see you on February 12th in Room 156 at ACMA!

2019 Ballpoint Author Event - Feb 7th
Student Forecasting for 2019-2020 - Feb 7th & 8th
It's an exciting time for students at ACMA, with forecasting for next year's classes happening this week! This next Thursday and Friday, students will met their counselors in an assembly to hear about the forecasting process and have some extra time in Ohana to receive their 2019-2020 Forecasting sheets. Students will need to choose electives they would like to take (as well as alternates), they will be instructed to get their math teacher's signature on the recommended course for next year, and will be encouraged to bring their forecasting sheets home to talk with their parents or guardians. We hope that families will discuss potential schedules and that students will choose thoughtfully as they forecast for next year. We build our master schedule and set our staffing based on student requests for classes, so we do not make schedule changes in the fall.
The Program Planning Guide can be found on the ACMA website or CLICK HERE. This document provides information about each course that we offer.
Thank you for working with your student to forecast for 2019-20,
