With school back in session and all of us slowly getting back into routine we wanted to remind you that tomorrow is the second Tuesday of the month and we're having our PTO meeting in the library from 7pm-8pm.

In addition, our all school fundraiser; the Spectacular Showcase, will be here before we know it! We'll be meeting right before our PTO meeting at 6pm to discuss the event, what needs we need help with (during the event, things that can be done at home, planning and more), and suggestion and feedback to make this showcase a success! Students are encouraged to attend to offer their input and ways they can help!

Hope to see you tomorrow at the ACMA's Spectacular Showcase meeting at 6pm and/or PTO meeting at 7pm. As always, if you have any questions, please let us know. ACMAPTO@gmail.com

What if your not-so-beloved father died under mysterious circumstances but came back and told you to kill your favorite uncle? Prince Hamlet, a conflicted college student, has always had a difficult relationship with his father the king. King Hamlet often negatively compared Hamlet to the much more heroic, and macho, Laertes, son of chief advisor Polonius. Now that King Hamlet is gone, the prince must deal with those feelings, and they plummet him, and the kingdom, into a dark, confusing place. Who will survive?

Student Survey

High school students will be surveyed this year by accessing a link in their Career Information System (CIS) account. The survey will be available in English and Spanish. The survey window is February 4-June 14.

Please communicate the following to parents prior to the survey.

Student Survey

• Each year the District surveys students, staff, and parents to gather information for planning, program evaluation, and assessment of progress on the District's Strategic Plan.

• The student survey takes about 20 minutes during the regular school day. The data gathered from the survey are anonymous; your child will not put his/her name or other identifying information on the survey. Like other surveys, results will be presented only about groups.. No individual data will be reported.

• Student surveys of middle and high schools include three optional questions for students to identify their gender, ethnicity / race, and sexual orientation. These questions allow for additional levels of analysis of questions on inclusion, safety and bullying.

• Your child may skip questions or stop filling out the survey at any time. Refusing to participate or withdrawing from the survey does not affect your child's grades or class standing in any way. If you or your child does not want to participate, your child can read or do some other activity while his or her classmates complete the survey.

• A copy of the survey is available from your child's school and is posted at

• After reviewing the survey, if you do not want your child to participate, please notify <insert school contact information>.

Encuesta Anual de Estudiantes

• Cada año, el distrito lleva a cabo encuestas para los estudiantes y el personal con el fin de obtener información para la planificación y la evaluación del programa así como del progreso del Plan Estratégico del Distrito.

• La encuesta de estudiantes toma aproximadamente 20 minutos durante el día escolar. La información que obtengamos de la encuesta es anónima; su hijo no incluirá su nombre o cualquier información de identificación en la encuesta. Al igual que otras encuestas, los resultados que se presentan son sólo acerca de los grupos. No se proporcionará información de su estudiante.

• Las encuestas del estudiante de las escuelas de secundaria y preparatoria incluyeron tres preguntas opcionales para los estudiantes identificar su género, grupo étnico/raza, e inclinación sexual. Estas preguntas permiten niveles de análisis adicionales en cuanto a la inclusión, la seguridad y la intimidación.

• Su hijo puede no contestar las preguntas o dejar de contestar la encuesta en cualquier momento. El negarse a participar en la encuesta o no terminar de contestarla, no afecta las calificaciones o rango de su hijo. Si usted o su hijo no quieren participar, su hijo puede leer o hacer alguna otra actividad, mientras que sus compañeros de clase completan la encuesta.

• Una copia en blanco de la encuesta, está disponible en la escuela de su hijo y se encuentra publicada en

Cold and flu season has already begun, but there are things you can do to keep yourself and your children healthier. Prevention measures include washing your hands frequently, getting lots of rest, drinking plenty of fluids, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

Home is the best place for a child who is ill. The Too Sick for School informational flyer has guidelines to help you make the decision about when to keep your child home from school.

At the October 22, 2018 Business Meeting, the School Board approved the Superintendent’s calendar recommendation for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years. Staff and community members overwhelmingly preferred Option 1 for both school years.

In the 2019-2020 school year, the first day for students will be Monday, August 26 and the last day for students will be Friday, June 12. In the 2020-2021 school year, the first day for students will be Monday, August 31 and the last day for students will be Friday, June 18. Option 1 provides 10 days for winter break in both school years.

Both calendars are below for your planning purposes. Please understand that budgetary and contractual obligations may impact the implementation of the final calendars.
