IMPORTANT END OF THE YEAR INFORMATION
  • All 4th quarter grades are now up to date.  

  • Any student with a grade of 75 or below has been issued a progress report. Teachers have included comments about any courses in which the student is in danger of failing for the quarter. Please review your child's progress on Sapphire and check the Progress Reports folder on the left-hand side of the main page below Report Cards. 

  • Students should attend Zoom classes and/or teacher virtual office hours for help. If the office hours are inconvenient, students may request an alternative time to meet. 

  • If your child is having issues accessing the internet, please contact the Director of Studies, Karen Rolston or the student's counselor. 

  • If you have any questions about your child's grades, please contact their teacher. Teacher emails can be found on the teacher's class pages on Sapphire and all staff contact information is on our website at www.acchs.info/staff-directory.

  • Instruction for Seniors ends: Friday, May 22 
  • Instruction for Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen ends: Tues, June 2.  

  • Full-Year Courses will be graded using the calculation below. Credit for these courses will be awarded based on this formula, and grades will be calculated into grade point average (GPA) according to our existing grading procedures. 
  • Marking Period 1 – 20%
  • Marking Period 2 – 20%
  • Midterm Exam – 10%
  • Marking Period 3 – 25%

  • Starting June 3, specific days will be scheduled to collect iPads from Seniors, books from all students, and provide an opportunity for students to collect the contents of their lockers – all while maintaining appropriate social distancing. Details for scheduled dates will be communicated to families as the dates draw closer.

Students should be checking their school email and Sapphire announcements daily for important updates and information.

We appreciate the cooperation of our students and parents as we
continue our online learning program. We pray that you and
your families are safe and healthy during these difficult times.
