Dear Parents/Guardians:

It is the end of the school year, therefore it is time to start making plans for picking up your child’s remaining medication that is in the clinic. All medication needs to be picked up by May 26th. Arlington Classics Academy’s goal is to always be thinking about the safety and security of our students; therefore, students will not be allowed to bring their medication home at the end of the year. We are asking that parents come by the school and pick up the medicine personally. If you do not want the remaining medication that is in the clinic, please let the school nurse know and it will be disposed of properly. Our goal, by sending this letter out early, is to allow you to make the necessary arrangements for picking up your child’s medication. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Nurse Everett at 817-303-1553 or Emily.everett@acaedu.net. We wish you a fun and relaxing summer and look forward to seeing you next year.

Thank you,

Emily Everett, RN

Arlington Classics Academy: Intermediate Campus

We use the "Big 3" to decide when a student should go home/stay home:

#1 Fever ...if 100+ keep them at home or we send them home

#2 Vomit ...if they throw up food/full tummy keep them at home or we send them home, however if it is just mucous from congestion we keep them @ school

#3 Diarrhea ... if it is unexpected or reoccurring we send them home; if it is a symptom of medicine/antibiotic we want them at school & we will accommodate their restroom needs.

If you're child does not have any of the "Big 3", please send them to school & we will accommodate their needs & notify you if anything changes throughout the school day.

Classes are also being fumigated nightly when there is an increase in sickness, so each morning your child is entering a clean/fumigated classroom.

Thanks for your cooperation & understanding as we work through the "cold/flu season".

You have FULL ACCESS to view everything in our library. Not only that, but you can see what your child has recently checked in and out. As a Griffin Tribe, we truly believe in the 3-Legged Stool and to offer complete transparency. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Jenni Huntley @ jennifer.huntley@acaedu.net

Per the ACA Student Handbook, pages 5-6

A student absent from school on a day of instruction shall be excused for the following reasons:

1. Illness - However, excessive days or absences of three consecutive school days or more must be documented in writing by the treating physician, dentist, or other applicable health professional. Cumulative absences of more than four absences within a six month period must accompany a doctor’s note for each absence for illness afterward.

2. Temporary absence resulting from appointments with healthcare professionals (if the student returns on the same day of the appointment with a documented re-entry slip from the doctor’s office). NOTE: ACA requests that parents make every effort to schedule doctors’ appointments outside normal school hours; otherwise, appointments should be scheduled with the goal of minimizing lost instructional time.

3. Death in the immediate family - Immediate family includes only the grandparents of the student and the descendants of a grandparent of the student by marriage or consanguinity.

4. Attendance or observance of religious holy days - Advance written notice of absences because of religious observance is requested in advance of the absence. This provision applies to holy days which are tenets of the religion. This provision does not apply to retreats, conventions, youth group activities, etc.

ACA has partnered with Linewize, a leading global provider of online safety products and education, to provide security safeguards for our students and devices. Linewize has also created an educational hub for parents and teachers containing articles, videos, courses, and more, to ensure you know how to keep your kids safe online.

Parents and staff can access ACA’s Online Safety Hub through the link below. The Safety Hub will contain the latest online trends, guides, game reviews, and timely articles, created by digital wellness and online safety experts from the perspective of child development. This hub is controlled and vetted by experts in the field of online safety for students. Information is often provided by a third party and may not always reflect the values of ACA.
