ACS eLearning Parent Website
ACS eLearning Parent Website

We invite our school community to take a few minutes to look over the ACS eLearning for Parents website. We shared this site a few weeks ago, but there have been significant changes and updates that we believe are very important to helping parents navigate this new world of eLearning.
The heart of our philosophy regarding eLearning rests in the One Athens Essential Agreements for eLearning. We strongly encourage all parents to visit this site and learn more about what "school at home" will look like for your child/children in the weeks ahead. Please keep in mind - the One Athens Essential Agreements are intended for teachers. However, understanding the teaching and learning expectations will be of great value to you as well.
We are very proud of the Plan for Instructional Continuity and the One Athens Essential Agreements. Our plan is guided by patience, grace and manageability for families during this unprecedented and stressful time.
Please remember to show our teachers patience and grace as they prepare for academic eLearning for next week and the rest of the school year. Academic eLearning begins April 13. We hope this resource is a help to you.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact
