Ms. Joelle Basnight
The first full week of school and energy is still high!
Once again, I am inviting parents to volunteer to serve on the annual calendar creation committee. This is a multi-stakeholder committee of teachers, staff, students and parents who come together 2 - 4 times in September and October (after school) to review our calendar principles, create draft calendars, narrow those for community feedback, analyze the data collected and, finally, make a recommendation to leadership. Ultimately the final option(s) is presented to the board for approval. Interested? Available? If so, click here. The survey asks for some demographic information to ensure we have a wide representation of our community members. The deadline for submitting this survey is September 1.
Introducing the ACS Community Pledge
Our community's strength is rooted in our shared commitment to fostering a positive and safe learning environment for all students. Previously, our Parent Profile outlined expectations for parent involvement in creating such an environment. We've now expanded these expectations to include faculty, staff, and students, and have formalized them into the Community Pledge.
Our new Community Pledge asks all members of our community to actively contribute to a positive and inclusive school environment. This includes promoting positive behavior, fostering a strong sense of belonging, and supporting our school's mission. In partnership, we aim to be a school where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.
