New Principal is announced!
I am very excited to announce that Ms. Manjula Reddy will be leading our amazing school next year.

I had the chance to meet with her yesterday and show off some of the amazing things our school is working on. Please look for a message from her after the break. WELCOME TO ACP Ms. Reddy!

FINAL CHANCE TO ORDER A YEARBOOK! SALES ENDING NOW! LIMITED COPIES LEFT
LAST CHANCE! Don't forget to order a yearbook for your student(s). ACP does not buy extra yearbooks to sell at the end of the school year. Be sure to pre-order yours now before prices increase, and before presales end. Not the right time financially? Families may reserve a yearbook by making a partial deposit and periodic payments through Josten's online system. We don't want any students to miss out!
