A Note from Ms. Davis
Dear Families,
It's official! The ACS Board is planning to build a new school for Athens Elementary! We will be moving to a temporary campus (at the old AMS on Forrest Street) over the summer so that this building can be torn down and the new site prepped for new construction.
More details about the specifics of how we will transition to the temporary campus will be coming soon.
We have a busy close of school ahead of us. Please check out the calendar of events and ordering deadlines for our yearbook, supply kits, and field day shirts below.
If I can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to call or come by.
Sincerely,
Cindy Davis,
Principal
