On Friday, Oct. 30th, we were blessed with beautiful weather and the best school family as we gathered to celebrate ACA's very first Homecoming! The event was a complete success with delicious BBQ sandwiches from Rib Crib, decorated trunks and tailgates, and two intense Grailball matches between the All-Stars and Alumni. A HUGE thank you to the ACA Alumni who joined us for Homecoming! We loved welcoming you "home," and hope this becomes another beloved school tradition. It was a fantastic evening of fellowship and plans are already being made for next year's event!

Please help us ensure that all students are prepared for cooler temperatures by sending your child to school with appropriate outerwear. Also, please remember to put your child's name or initials on all outerwear.

IMPORTANT: ages 10 and over should wear a mask to school!

All students ages 10 and over, in accordance with the city of Tulsa mask ordinance, must wear a face mask, unless there is an exemption form on file at the Front Office.

Due to this new ordinance, we have reconsidered the part of the current policy requesting that the masks be in school colors. We are expanding your students' mask options to include more unique styles and colors. As long as the mask is in the spirit of the dress code (not extreme or in questionable taste), it will be allowed.

Thank you for helping us remain in compliance with the City of Tulsa mandate. Please feel free to reach out to Mr. Ahrens at any time with any questions you may have.

Join Hen House on Tuesday mornings

All parents are invited to join Hen House at its weekly Prayer Meeting in Room 205A on Tuesdays around 8/8:15 a.m. If the weather is nice, we will meet at the Charger Field pavilion.

Hen House gathers to pray for ACA and specific needs shared by staff, teachers, and families. Do you have a Prayer Request? Please e-mail Hen House.

"For where two or three gather in my name,

there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20
