Parents,
Please be aware that the hot lunch option for tomorrow has been changed to chicken nuggets with a dinner roll. Please discuss this with your child this evening to avoid confusion ordering lunch tomorrow. Thank you!

The first section of the test will be a descriptive writing piece based on a writing prompt provided by the teacher. The second section of the test will be an essay on a teacher-selected topic. Both compositions will be graded by three teachers for mechanics and content and will be given a composite score. Tests will take place for 8th grade tomorrow, Tuesday, March 31st and for 7th grade on Wednesday, April 1st.
Please make sure your students get a good night's sleep before the tests. Thank you!

Thursday, March 26th is Spring Picture Day
Parents,
This coming Thursday, March 26th is spring picture day. Students should follow dress down guidelines and can wear outfits of their/your choice. Forms have been sent home today with your children. Please fill it out with your name and pose selection and send back to school for picture day. You will be given the option to order pictures after they have been developed- there is no need to send money in on Thursday.
8th grade students will have the option of having their pictures taken in cap and gown. We have one cap and gown set that can be used for those pictures. Please note on your form if you would like your 8th grade student to have a professional cap and gown photo taken.
Many school districts have deadlines for their B6T transportation forms to be in. Your B6T needs to be submitted to your school district as soon as possible. If you plan on registering your child for the 2009-2010 school year, please return the B6T form to the school office as soon as possible. Thanks for your help in this!
Have a great night!

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!
