Ms. Molly Nielsen
Dear MS Families,
This week, you may have received an email from a middle school teacher informing you that your child might receive a 1 on the upcoming first semester report card. This communication is part of our middle school practice to maintain transparent and proactive collaboration between ACS and families in support of student learning.
In the email, your child’s teacher identified the specific area of focus and shared an action plan to support their growth. While receiving this type of communication can sometimes feel concerning, we want to reassure you that learning is a journey unique to every student. At ACS, we value the importance of students progressing at their own pace and see feedback as a key part of growth.
We are committed to working together to help your child thrive, and we appreciate your partnership in this process. If you have any questions or would like additional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher and a sincere thank you to everyone who already has.
Save the Date - MS/HS Winter Arts Showcase
Join us to celebrate the Musical Arts at ACS. Lobby doors open at 5:30 with a few special pre-concert performances. See you there!
Warmly,
Molly
Arabic F students showcased their inspiring awareness campaign in partnership with Sadaqa, a leading civil society organization dedicated to advancing gender equality in the labor market. Through creative and thought-provoking presentations, students highlighted critical barriers faced by working women—such as the lack of daycares, unreliable public transportation, pay inequity, and limited social protections—and advocate for meaningful change.
Sadaqa’s mission to empower women, particularly mothers, to thrive in the workforce and reach leadership roles aligns with our unit of study "women's Rights" that sparked dialogue between students and other members of the community, Parents, staff members and other Arabic classes.It was great to witness their passion for gender equality and commitment to creating a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
