You're Invited to an Evening of
Impact. Tuesday, November 9 from 6:00-8:30 in the ACS gymnasium, come and witness the impact of Allendale Christian School firsthand as people from our own community share what ACS is truly about. If you have never attended, or have several times before, you are invited to join and hear from 4 individuals connected to ACS share their stories of impact about Allendale Christian School (parent/alumna, grandparent, teacher/alumna, and current student). Johnny B's Barbeque (ACS parent and alumnus) is providing a delicious meal, with music by the ACS staff band. 

This is also a great opportunity to come and learn about what the foundation does for our school, while also getting to know the ACS community more. If you are interested in attending, please email rsvp@allendalechristian.com as soon as possible. 

Important! Please keep an eye on your email tomorrow for updates on the Mother/Daughter event happening tomorrow night. We will know by noon if the event is still on or not. It is dependent upon tomorrows weather as well as farm conditions, given the last few days of rain. If the event as a whole is cancelled, we will be able to refund everyone's money at that point and we will then move the event to something different in the Spring. Sorry for the inconvenience... oh the joys of Michigan weather!

Report Cards will be emailed home Friday, November 5. So you are aware, the Specials teachers (Art, Music, PE, Tech, Spanish) will provide grades for elementary students by semester and for middle school students quarterly.

The ACS hot lunch team is still looking for one more team member for Tuesday and Wednesday lunch service. The need for Wednesday is top priority. If you have schedule flexibility on Wednesdays and would be interested in helping, or know of someone that may be interested in helping, please reach out to Brian Koetje at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org, or call the office at 616-895-5108.

ACS has a significant need for more substitute teachers. If you are interested or know someone that might have interest, please email Brian at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org. Some educational experience is preferred, but not absolutely necessary. Additionally, this can be a good opportunity for a college student on days where they do not have classes.

Michigan/Michigan State Team Spirit Day! Have your kids join in the fun this Friday by dressing for their favorite team, in anticipation of the big game on Saturday. If they can't bear to wear either of these colors, they can dress for their favorite team instead!

Volunteer Opportunity! Throughout the course of the month, teachers will have the opportunity to meet with their grade-level team and our instructional coach for continued professional development. These meetings will be held during lunch, and we are looking for volunteers to help provide classroom coverage for these meetings. We would love it if you could please check out our sign-up genius and sign up to help with classroom lunchtime coverage in order to make this possible. We appreciate your help in this way!

Parents/Grandparents: Next time you are in the office, grab an ACS window sticker for your car, and one to share with a relative. This is a great way to show school pride and promote our community!
