Staff Appreciation Luncheon - A HUGE "thank you" to all the parents who were able to volunteer to cover classrooms for our teachers to attend the annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon this week Friday! A friendly reminder that if you signed up to help the kindergarten-2nd grade teachers, please be in your child's classroom by 12:00; if you signed up to help in 3rd-8th grade, please be in your child's classroom by 12:45!  

Do you want to sing the songs from chapel at home with your kids or use them for your personal or family devotions? Here is a Spotify playlist of songs we are singing in chapel or in our classrooms. --> Playlist

Our Kristina Moelker 5K is NEXT week Wednesday (May 11) at 6:30 pm. We will be at Allendale High School. Please park by the stadium entrance. The race start will be on the north side of the girls softball field and will end on the track. Look for volunteers in bright orange 5K shirts to help direct you where you need to go. If you would like to have a bib number for final results, please arrive early so we can get that to you. Everyone is invited, looking forward to a great evening with our ACS community and running club kids! Any questions can be sent to Mrs. Lamer (dlamer@allendalechristian.com). 

The Spring Band and Choir Concert for 5th-8th Graders is on Monday, May 16! The concert will take place at 6:30 pm at the Ceglarek Fine Arts Center (Allendale Public Auditorium next to the high school). Students should arrive at 6:00pm and there will be signs directing them to the correct areas. For the spring concert, students are asked to wear white tops and black pants. Girls are allowed to wear dresses or long skirts if preferred. On top, a nice dress shirt is preferred (either a polo, a button down shirt, or a nice blouse). You can also add a pop of color for spring in the form of an accessory like a tie, scarf, jewelry, or shoes (please no tennis shoes). I’ll trust your best discretion! If you are having a hard time finding white shirts or black pants, I have a few options at school that you can use. If you have any questions, please contact Miss Brummel by phone or email!

Class Placement Request ACS teachers will meet soon to assign class placements for students where multiple class options exist. The child’s teacher knows the situations where students will experience the most growth. Factors that are considered are academic, social, and emotional needs, as well as the boy/girl ratio balance. ACS parents should only request special consideration for their child’s classroom placement if there are extenuating circumstances. These reasons may include unique social and emotional needs, possibly that the school does not know about. Please focus your requests on the needs of your child, as opposed to a specific teacher. Please click here for the form. Forms must be turned in to the school office no later than May 13.
