The meeting will be held virtually, and a Zoom link will be sent out next Monday, in advance of the meeting. The annual meeting is used to affirm new Board members, renew current Board members for a 2nd three-year term, affirm new PTA leadership, and approve the budget and tuition rates. The agenda, which includes Principal and Treasurer Reports, can be found HERE. The agenda includes an absentee ballot, which can be delivered to the ACS office in a sealed envelope by the end of the school day on Monday.

Enrollment
  • If you are enrolling a child in Young Fives or Kindergarten for the very first time online, there is a one time $300 enrollment fee, which is part of the tuition cost. Once they are enrolled online, you never have to re-enroll them again.
  • Because there is no re-enrollment for students in Y5 or above, it is very important for you to notify Brian Koetje if you anticipate enrollment changes, like potential unenrollment, for next school year. This information is important for planning. Brian's email is bkoetje@allendalechristian.org.
  • To obtain an opt-out sheet for next year, please email skuperus@allendalechristian.com.
