Re-Registration for all ACS Students
Dear Parent,
We are excited to have your student back with us for another school year beginning in fall 2018! Athens City Schools is in the third year of using the online student enrollment system known as SchoolMint. SchoolMint makes it easy to re-enroll your student year after year. Simply login to your existing SchoolMint account at https://athenscity.schoolmint.net/signin to update your student's information. You can complete this easy process from your smartphone in just a few minutes!
Student re-enrollment is mandatory. The deadline is May 4. After May 4, the online re-enrollment system will be closed. After the deadline, parents will have to complete new student registration, requiring parents to upload numerous forms and supporting student documentation. This late registration process will cost parents triple the time and effort. Please don't delay. RE-ENROLL TODAY!
We are here to help! Assistance is available at the Board of Education Central Office Monday-Friday 8am-4pm. Computers, technical assistance and a bi-lingual enrollment specialist are available during these hours.
Have questions or need help with enrollment? Contact our enrollment specialist:

Extracurricular Survey
Summer Activities
Several of our kids have been asking for the recipe for Homemade Play Dough. This would be a good activity for summer fun. We have a variety of uses for play dough in the classroom, from making it easier to talk about feelings to practicing making letters, numbers, etc.
Homemade Play Dough Recipe
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon oil
Food coloring
Combine flour, salt and cream of tartar. Add water, oil and food coloring. Cook for 3 minutes or so on medium heat until the dough pulls away from the side of the pan. Cool. Knead. Store in plastic bags or airtight containers. I usually triple the recipe to make more so it takes a little longer to cook. Enjoy!

Changes in Transportation
Car Rider Line
- Please enter the school campus on the drive next to the tree line as you do in the afternoons. This is to prevent traffic from backing up on Brookhill Drive when we have buses unloading in the morning.
- Also, we have had an increase in morning tardies. The warning bell rings at 7:45 and 7:48 your student is considered tardy. Our instruction begins first thing at 7:48 & we do not want your child to miss any instruction that is taking place.
