Good Afternoon

We wanted to take a moment to share an experience from the recent NESA Leadership Conference, which our administrative team had the privilege of attending during Fall Break. This event highlighted the latest innovations in education, reaffirming that our high school remains at the forefront of relevant, practical, and engaging educational best practices.

At the conference, we connected with educational leaders, creative thinkers, and dedicated professionals from schools both within our region and beyond. We were impressed by the depth of talent and the shared commitment to enhancing students' educational experiences.

Our high school’s dedication to excellence was evident as we participated in sessions and discussions on the latest trends and methodologies in education. The conference provided valuable insights, new ideas, and networking opportunities with like-minded professionals who share our passion for fostering an outstanding learning environment.

What stood out most was our school's proactive approach to staying ahead of the curve. We are continually implementing current, effective teaching methods and technologies to ensure your child(ren) receives the best possible education. This commitment to innovation and ongoing improvement sets us apart and equips our students to succeed in today’s world.

Grades 9-11 PSAT Testing - ACS will once again provide the opportunity for students in grades 9-11 to take the PSAT on October 29.  This test allows students to get an idea of where they stand in a variety of subject areas and acts as great practice for future standardized tests.

NGO Fair - The NGO Fair is an annual event dedicated to fostering connections and empowering students to embark on their Service Learning journeys. The fair brings together a diverse range of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community partners from various fields, providing students with the unique opportunity to explore and engage with causes that resonate with their passions and values. We will be hosting 12-14 NGOs and community partners on October 29th to present to our students and teachers.

Senior Event - We are excited to inform you about a special Senior Class event coming up! On 10/29, our seniors will have their cap and gown pictures taken in the morning. After the photos, we will take them off-campus for a fun and memorable day. The Senior Council has planned an exciting outing to Gravity Trampoline Park, followed by lunch at Khashoka Restaurant in Dabouq.  Students will be chaperoned by ACS senior class cohort teachers throughout the day, and they will return to campus by 2:45 p.m.  Please note that students who do not want to participate will still be required to attend school and if they stay home, this will result in an Absence for their classes that day.

HS Assessment Week - We wanted to inform you about some changes regarding the end-of-semester school week at the high school based on valuable feedback from both our students and teachers.

This year, the high school will be implementing an assessment week during the final week of classes. During this time, students will have school from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM (9:00 AM to 12:30 PM on Tuesday). The focus will primarily be on end-of-unit assessments for two classes each day.

We believe this system provides a more focused and productive environment for our students as they wrap up the academic semester.
