REMINDERS
REMINDERS:
Our handbook was revised this summer and is included in each newsletter. The handbook in its entirety is on our website https://afbcs.org/afbcs-student-parent-handbook/.
Please note the following:
- Dress Code: Starts on page 38. We appreciate your complete cooperation with this matter.
- Early Dismissal: Students cannot be released between 2:20pm & 3:10pm due to dismissal preparation and end of the day routines. If your student needs to be picked up for a doctor's appointment or any other reason, they will need to be picked up prior to 2:20pm. (See page 21.)
Dismissal:
Secondary dismissal seems to be a little more congested than in the past, so we are going to try moving 5th grade to the elementary dismissal. This change will take effect on Thursday, September 9, 2021. So K-5th grade will now be at the elementary dismissal area.
Please display your student(s) name on your visor or rear view mirror. These can be seen from a distance and students can be called ahead of time. It really does help A LOT.

Arcadia 4H
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We are ready to move forward with getting our Arcadia 4H Club up and running, but need volunteers. If you do not have the time but you have the knowledge that you would like to share, or you know someone that would like to volunteer, please contact Katy Wheeler: katywheeler@afbcs.org.
We do have one teacher that has committed to being a leader of the Clover Kids (K-2nd) group and just needs a co-leader. We do have a parent that is interested in helping with lambs/goats and photography.
The following is what is needed and could be offered if we have the volunteers:
- A Leader & Co-Leader: 2 adult volunteers to help organize and keep the monthly meetings going. Get students to vote on positions (President, Secretary, etc.) - Still need 1 Co-Leader
- Clover Kids Co-Leader - POSITION FILLED
- Animal Project Volunteers (Swine, Cow, Steer, Rabbit, Chickens, Horses & Dogs)
- Lamb/Goats - POSITION FILLED
- Textile & Clothing Volunteer - Position Filled
- Quilting Volunteer - Position Filled
- Robotics Volunteer
- Photography - POSITION FILLED
- Leadership Volunteer
- Food & Nutrition Volunteer
- Veterinary Science Volunteer
If you have any experience or know anyone that would be interested in any of the above, we would love to hear from you. Our goal is to offer our students what they would like to participate in; and with your help, we can make that happen. The 4H Club is a wonderful experience with so many opportunities, especially with leadership. All of the activities and events that the students participate in can be kept in their 4H Record Books to use for college applications.
