ACS District Newsletter
November 1, 2023
Greetings to ACS Raider Families!
Good afternoon!
I hope this newsletter finds you and your family doing well. The recent temperatures have fallen quickly, but I equate the onset of colder weather with fun and exciting times with family and friends- football games, Halloween, hunting weekends (AKA "Girls' Weekend"...LOL), Thanksgiving, and more! In addition to these events and holidays, it is the perfect time of the school year to reflect upon your child's overall progress. Although I am confident that you are having these conversations with your children, here are a few (timely) questions you may want to ask:
- What do you enjoy most about your school day? Why?
- What do you enjoy least about your school day? Why?
- Who do you like to hang out with at lunch/recess? Why?
- Who do you consider as your "go to adult" at school? Why?
- Are you being challenged at school? Why or why not?
As Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up next week, please feel free to share the above feedback with your child(ren)'s teachers. The ACS staff is committed to helping each student reach his/her fullest potential.
Topics covered in this newsletter include:
*Parent-Teacher Conference Schedule
*FREE Food Supplies
*BluePoint Alert System
*Bond Information
*Visit with Von
*Edustaff Opportunity
*Mark Your Calendar
*Favorite Pictures
As always, please reach out to me at 810-798-8561 if you have any questions or concerns. Make it a great week!
