HAPPY NEW YEAR !

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Happy 2022! I hope that each of you was able to enjoy some time with your family and friends during the holiday season. It's always nice to have a break, but it is especially wonderful to have the children back in the building and to hear their excitement of time spent with you!


I'd like to give a shout-out to our students for their hard work this week while taking NWEA testing. NWEA data is used to guide our instruction, help teachers target individual areas of concern, and capitalize on student strengths. Teachers and administrators continue to review the data to improve instruction and analyze our programs. Great work, Elementary Jets!


Mary McCullough, Elementary Principal

DYSLEXIA SCREENERS

Indiana schools are required to administer Dyslexia screeners to students in grades k-2. These students took the universal screener and students identified through the screener will be given a Level 1 screener this month. Please keep in mind that the school cannot diagnose any medical condition. The screener is used to identify students that may have areas of concern. Letters will be sent home with these students upon completion of the testing.

More information is available on the AC website. https://www.accs.k12.in.us/page/district-information
