Ms. Molly Nielsen
Dear MS Families,
Congratulations to our MS SAISA athletes, and thank you to the ACS community for a wonderful SAISA boys' volleyball tournament hosted this past weekend on our campus.
What to do when your child misses school?
Contact Ms. Aseel and your child’s advisor to inform them your child will miss school.
Support your child in being in touch with teachers, checking Google Classroom, and staying up to date on school communication.
Encourage your child to set a meeting with their teachers during lunch or after school to make up learning experiences or get a little extra support after they return.
Follow the ACS attendance expectations as outlined in the ACS Middle School Family Handbook 2024-2025
Contact Ms. Aseel and your child’s teachers in preparation for extended absences.

Congratulations to our Active Parenting cohort who completed the course a couple of weeks ago. It was so fun to be a part of your parenting journey through the middle school years.
While we won’t offer a parenting course next semester, keep an eye out for other offerings like book clubs or podcast discussions.
I’m here if you need anything.

What a weekend it was as school was transformed into all that is SAISA. A major thank you to the community, staff, students and coaches for all support. We also had nearly 50 students travel to either Kathmandu, Nepal for swimming or to Sri Lanka for Girls’ Volleyball. Now that SAISA has been completed, we are shifting focus to the upcoming AAC Tournaments!
