Ms. Joelle Basnight
Please join me in wishing our Scorpions the best of luck in SAISA! Please stop by campus to catch a badminton match in person or access the livestream link shared by Chip in the all-school content below.
I must begin by offering my deepest apologies for not recognizing the Easter Holiday this past weekend in the WGO. At ACS we both respect and celebrate all holidays. Not mentioning such an important one was my oversight.
Many thanks to the 100+ respondents who answered our annual community survey.
For the general questions of the survey please note:
90% or more Strongly Agree/Agree:
The ACS campus is secure.
School personnel are responsive.
I feel welcome at ACS
80% - 89% Strongly Agree/Agree:
The school encourages parent involvement.
The school’s libraries provide accessible materials.
70% - 79% Strongly Agree/Agree:
I know that ACS updated its Identity and Mission Statements, as well as Core Values.
Less than 70% Agreement:
I am satisfied with the catering offered by Blue Fig.
I agree that the updated statements reflect the current reality of ACS.
The data will be shared with the relevant leaders and services, including Blue Fig. The section specific comments (by child) will be shared with the Principals. The Board of Trustees will see the full dashboard of results and all comments.
Board of Trustees Election Process for the 25/27 School Years
As you know, the ACS Board of Trustees plays an important role in providing long-term, strategic leadership for our school’s success and growth. A few days ago, the Board President emailed community members announcing the Board of Trustees election process for the 25/27 school years. We hope everyone will take a moment to review this important communication.
