Fall 2023 ACP & Bus Schedule
Fall 2023 ACP & Bus Schedule
The ACP Schedule is listed below.
Here are a few important things to know:
Please note, there is only ONE early release day. All other days next week are normal times.
Monday 12/18 - NO TEST (Regular school day "A Day")
Tuesday 12/19 - 5th & 6th Pd Tests
Wednesday 12/20 - 1st & 2nd Pd tests
Thursday 12/21 - 7th & 8th Pd Tests
Friday 12/22 - 3rd & 4th Pd Tests EARLY RELEASE at 2:10PM
We will release at 2:10PM to accommodate our students who ride the bus. Busses will not arrive before 2:10PM
Picking up students before the scheduled exam completion time can lead to several challenges:
Wait Times: Early pickups contribute to increased wait times for other parents and students, creating unnecessary congestion and disruptions in the school environment.
Testing Makeups: Students who leave early may miss important information or instructions related to the exam. This can result in the need for testing makeups, further adding to the administrative workload and potentially affecting the student's focus and performance.
Exam Interruptions: Every effort is made to create a focused and conducive environment for students during exams. Early pickups can disrupt this environment, potentially impacting the concentration and performance of all students in the room.
To ensure the smooth administration of exams and to create an optimal testing environment for all students, we kindly request that you plan your schedules accordingly and avoid picking up your child early during finals week. If you have specific concerns or require special accommodations, please do not hesitate to reach out to us in advance so that we can work together to find a suitable solution.
The 12 Days of Holidays starts for all students!
Student Events During BA's 12 Days of Holidays
Students will have the opportunity to dress up with the staff during the last twelve days of the semester. We are excited that they get to share this tradition with us!
🎧🎧Students will be called at RANDOM to win a pair of wireless airbuds every day!🎧🎧
Please see below for important information.
Here are the things you need to know:
Students that have had excessive tardies may not participate. These students and their parents have been informed.
Students MAY NOT WEAR JEANS THAT SHOW SKIN i.e. rips or tears. Students must wear jeans that cover their entire legs.
The administration has the right to revoke this privilege at any point during the ten days. If we see that students are not able to adhere to the dress code expectations, we will cancel the event for students.
Students return on January 9th - Students will report to their ADVISORY
Get ready to kick off the new year and semester with enthusiasm! Classes resume on January 9th, and we can't wait to see each of you. Start your day by reporting to your Advisory class, where you'll receive your schedule for Semester 2. Stay tuned for exciting activities and important updates. Let's make this semester unforgettable! 📅📖 #BackToSchool #NewBeginnings
(students that have CI will be able to load the bus after Advisory - the busses will wait for students)
