Next school year we will use electronic forms in PowerSchool! This means many of the forms you fill out and return on paper (like field trip permissions and health authorizations) can be filled out online!
- If you already use PowerSchool (most MUHS families), these forms will become available when you login later this summer.
- If you do not currently use powerschool (most MUMS and Elementary families), in early August we will send an email with log in information and a separate email with a username and password. We also posted the "How To" document on the ACSD Home page HERE.
Teachers Go to Camp!
The week after school let out for students, many of our teachers chose to come back for two days of Curriculum Camp! This is a chance for our teachers to collaborate in their grade level teams, receive professional development, plan, and explore new ideas for our students next year!

ACSD School Board Updates
The ACSD Board has released its Educational and Facilities Planning Report to the community. You can read the full report by clicking the photo (left). A hard copy will also be available at ACSD school offices, ACSD Member Town Offices and Library Directors, and Directors of PreK programs serving ACSD families or can be requested by contacting ACSD Central Office at 802-382-1274.
The final report compiles information generated during ACSD’s multi-year facilities planning process, and includes:
- A summary of the driving forces behind the Facilities Master Planning process;
- A comprehensive review of the process that was followed;
- Summaries of facilities assessments that have been completed, reconfiguration possibilities that have been explored, the Board’s findings to date; and
- Key takeaways with an outline of the work that remains to be done before a capital improvement plan can be finalized.
Although the report does not offer a prescriptive plan for capital improvements or reconfiguration of ACSD schools, it does confirm that we must take action to address our aging infrastructure and identify solutions that will function within the limitations of both ACSD’s and Vermont’s fiscal realities. Site condition summaries for each ACSD school are detailed in Section D of the document.
The report also discusses concerns regarding the equitable distribution of educational resources across our District, as well as imbalances in student access to educational programming opportunities and consistent support services. The Board is currently exploring these and other District-wide equity concerns in its Strategic Plan for Equity, and intends to coordinate future facilities planning with the results of this strategic planning work.
The Board intends to conduct additional community engagement to inform further ACSD facilities planning in the early fall of 2022. In the meantime, questions about the Educational and Facilities Planning Report can be directed to the board at 802-382-1700, or emailed to Board Chair Victoria Jette at vjette@acsdvt.org and Facilities Committee Chair Jennifer Nuceder at jmnuceder@acsdvt.org. A Board member will also hold virtual office hours from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29th, July 6th, and July 27th to take questions from the community. Please contact Mary Heather Noble at mnoble@acsdvt.org to request a zoom link for virtual office hours.
