A few parents have mentioned that our GPS-based busing system has inaccurately displayed buses at the Queen Alia International Airport. Many of us have experienced the same when using a GPS to move about the city. Such GPS inaccuracies are outside of the school’s control. We will continue to do what we can to allow parents to track their students’ rides via the bus application system and will adjust whatever may remain within our control.
Please remember that ACS will be closed on Thursday, November 28th, as a part of our November long weekend. For those of you celebrating US Thanksgiving, enjoy! For those of you who will not, campus access hours will be circulated in the WGO of that week (Wednesday, November 27th).
