Grade 8 Math Placement Next Steps

If your child is a current grade 7 student they took their Grade 8 math placement exams this week. Our math team alongside the MS administration will review your child’s data including their MAP scores, placement exam score, report card, and day to day learning habits to make a thoughtful and data-driven placement for next school year. You will receive your child’s math placement letter via email on the last day of school.

Intramurals Explore Celebrations

Our Middle School Intramurals Explore group recently planned and hosted a series of exciting house challenge competitions designed to build school spirit and community. Students led the charge in organizing fun and inclusive events including Scorpion Games, Kickball, and Capture the Flag. Through these activities, they showcased impressive planning, leadership, and problem-solving skills, creating memorable experiences for the entire middle school.

Congratulations MS Artists!

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible Middle School musicians and artists for sharing their talents with our community this week. From beautiful visual art displays to inspiring musical performances, our students impressed us all with their creativity and passion. We are so proud of their hard work and grateful to our parent community for your continued support and encouragement. Finally, a special thank you to our entire arts team at ACS for their passion and dedication!
