Letter from Mr. Watts, School Administrator

Hello All,

I would like to thank everyone for all you have done to help keep the school running efficiently while I’ve been absent with both bacterial and viral pneumonia.

This efficiency hasn’t come about by waving a “magic wand” or by accident. It is the result of what has been accomplished over many hours over the last three years.

Thanks to Nick Di Croce for establishing a financial foundation upon which to operate. Thanks to Lori Di Croce for monitoring the finances and implementing administrative decisions. This has continued to happen because of her telephone calls and emails to me in which I was able to communicate administrative decisions to her from home and feel confident that they would be implemented.

Thanks to Danielle Cooper for effectively implementing the tasks that have been given to her.

Thank you to the discipline committee and PAC committee for your roles during this time. Thank you to the classroom teachers and our teacher aides for your commitment and diligence. Thank you to our parent volunteers who behind the scenes contribute so much to our school. I am so proud of all of you for in my eyes you are the “A” team.

Thank you to the students for their cooperation in order for us to maintain smooth day to day operations.

Thank you to our parents who often sacrifice to provide this education for their children.

Thank you to Pastor Brent for being available to open the plays and for lending his support.

Thank you to the school board past and present for your dedication. Chuck Pfeiffer, Marilyn Watts, Kathy Berkheiser, and Nick Di Croce you are much appreciated.

I also want to thank our PTA president – Damon Briggs – for the energy, vision, and the diligence he has given to this position.

I want to thank my sisters, Marilyn and Beverly, for their help with computer situations and for Beverly who takes care of School Dynamics, report cards, and progress reports.

I also thank the maintenance workers who have helped so much over the years – who not only do their jobs but also take time to pray for our needs.

This started out as a “Thank You” to those who have helped so much during the last couple of weeks. But as I thought about it, I decided to take this opportunity to extend a BIG THANK YOU to everyone. It is so easy to take for granted the things people do on a daily basis.

I wish all of our mothers a special Mother’s Day blessing filled with joy and happiness.

The secret to this success is the ability to delegate responsibilities to very talented people and then see them use their own creative talents in effectively handling those responsibilities. This is an opposite philosophy to micromanaging, and I believe it has created a dynamic pattern for success. All of you – you are the best!

I will be seeing you soon – “the light at the end of the tunnel” is getting brighter.

May God continue to bless and guide your lives as together we advance His kingdom through this wonderful medium of Christian Education. -- Wellington Watts

Registration for the 2009-2010 School Year is Past Due

Parents,

Please be aware that registration for the 2009-2010 school year is past due at this point. Book fees are due tomorrow, April 15th and computer fees on Friday, May 1st. While we understand that it may not be financially possible for some families to register at this time, it would be very helpful to have an idea of how many current ACA families plan to return next year.

A letter of intent will be sent home with students and we are asking that if you have not registered your child for the 2009-2010 school year but plan to do so, please complete the form at the bottom of the letter and return it to the school. Please keep in mind that this will not serve as registration for your family, but will allow us to begin to plan and prepare for the 2009-2010 school year based on an expected enrollment. Thanks so much for you help in this!

Dear Parents,

The ACA student council will be sponsoring a fundraiser Friday, March 27th- Thursday, April 2nd. There will be two large jars of jelly beans in the cafeteria during lunch times- one for elementary school and one for middle school. To go along with many of the classes current math units of estimation, students will have the opportunity to guess how many jelly beans are in the jar. The cost is $.25 per guess and students may guess as many times as they would like.

One elementary and one middle school winner will be presented with a $15 gift card to Friendly's. The student council will donate all proceeds to the school program of their choice. Please send a few quarters in to school with your child starting on Friday so that they can participate in this creative fundraiser sponsored by our ACA Student Council.

Please fill it out with your name and pose selection and send back to school for picture day.

Funeral Service

Parents,

There will be funeral service taking place at Calvary Hill Church during the school day tomorrow. A very large crowd is expected as the service is in honor of a member of the church who was also a state trooper. The services begin at 9:00AM and will continue into the early afternoon. If you will need to visit the school between the hours of 9:00AM and 2:00PM, parking will be extremely limited. Calvary Hill Church has organized overflow parking at surrounding locations that you may need to utilize if you arrive during those times. Please plan accordingly. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time for one of our church families.

Because of the busy situation tomorrow and because the school is closed on Friday, we will be ordering pizza for lunch instead of the regular hot lunches. Please send a bagged lunch with your child if you would rather they not have pizza for lunch. Thank you!

Tomorrow is a dress down day for students. Students may pay $1 to dress down for the day.

Also, this is a reminder that your registration packet and fee is due by tomorrow in order to receive the $25 voucher per child toward the book fees. In order for your child to be registered for the 2009-2010 school year and receive this voucher, your registration fee must be paid with your paperwork.

Tomorrow night is the ACA Open House from 7:00PM-9:00PM. All parents are encouraged to attend. This is a great opportunity for you to meet with the teacher that your child will have next year!

Have a great night!!!

Teacher/Staff In-Service Day-No School

Parents,

I have several notes for you this week! It's a busy time around the school and a lot is happening. :)

As a friendly reminder, we ask that if you need to pick your child up from school early that you give the school as much notice as possible. The teachers prefer that you send in a note first thing in the morning to let them know what time you will need your child to be ready. If that is not possible, please contact the main office and let us know as much in advance as you can. We will then contact your child's teacher to let her know and she will make sure your child has his/her homework for the day and things together when you arrive. This avoids disrupting the class and saves you waiting time when you arrive as well. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

As stated on the school calendar, there is no school this Friday, March 20th due to teacher/staff in-service day.

Make-up day for the ACA book fair will be on Thursday. If your child missed the opportunity to browse or purchase from the book fair during their scheduled time this week, they will have the opportunity to visit the book fair again on Thursday. You may send in money with your child to do that. Parents are welcome to browse the book fair as well from 2:00-4:00 tomorrow or Thursday and again during the open house on Thursday night.

Yearbook orders are due on Thursday. Don't miss your chance to purchase a yearbook for the 2008-2009 school year! The cost is $35. Checks can be made payable to ACA and sent into school with your child.

Keep in mind that if your registration packet and fee are received by this Thursday, you will receive a $25 voucher per child to be used toward book fees.

DVD's of the elementary Christmas production "O Christmas Tree" are now available in the main office for $10.

Phew- that's it for now! :) Hope that you are having a great week!
