As you know, tomorrow is an ACS holiday. No classes will be in session. Please enjoy the long weekend and review the campus access information below.

Please mark your calendars and save the date for the upcoming Student Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday, the 15th of October, just before the Fall Break. Families should make every effort to attend these conferences as teachers will not be able to make individual appointments with those who choose not to attend.
