Ms. Joelle Basnight
Many thanks to the multi-stakeholder group working diligently to prepare annual calendars for community feedback. Look out in September 24’s WGO for draft for comment!
Please note that Thursday, September 17th, is a school holiday. Classes will be suspended on that day. Campus access information can be found in the September 16th WGO.
ID Update - Reminders
There are still a few questions about additional ID cards, so please reference the information previously circulated below:
Each family will be issued up to maximum of 6 IDs per household (beyond student IDs). These are limited to 2 parents, 2 drivers, and 2 caregivers. Families without these roles within their households may NOT swap out other individuals to reach the family maximum.
If a family has a step-parent, a grandparent or an extended family who fulfills the duties of a parent or caregiver regularly (eg: pick up, drop off, etc. more than occasionally), a parent can request an ID in any of the three categories within the family maximum.
ACS reserves the right to query requests for badges within the maximum if the rationale is unclear.
Families who may rotate between 3 or more caregivers/drivers should let the relevant sectional assistant know the identification information, approximate days of pick up and gate used so the guest is consistently listed at the campus entry point.
Families who may need the occasional pick up or who appoint temporary guardians for children should contact the relevant sectional assistant so identification information for pick up can be listed at the entry point during the parent’s absence.
Family badges, often issued in the past, will not be created for extended family members. Individuals who wish to attend occasional events (eg: concerts) as all such individuals can enter as guests.
