K-8 Parents: You are invited to a special Parent Night tomorrow evening, September 8. This is a night for parents to visit the classroom and hear from the teachers. The teachers are excited to introduce themselves, share their passion for pointing kids to Jesus, and provide important information about their classroom, routines, communication, etc. This night is an important piece of the partnership ACS has with our families. You should have received an email earlier this week with video instructions. If you have not watched them yet, please to do so prior to the event. When you arrive, you will then be able to go right to the classroom. The schedule is as follows:

6:30pm/6:50pm/7:10pm - Sessions with the teacher(s) of your child(ren) - 15 minute sessions with 5 minutes passing time between each session. If you have four or more children at ACS, parents are encouraged to divide and visit different teachers if possible. Each session is the same, so you only attend one per teacher.

Vision Event Invitation

We are extending an invitation to you to attend one of our Vision Events. What is a Vision Event? This is an opportunity to hear about the history of the school, understand the mission and vision of ACS, hear some of the initiatives of the school, and get a fuller picture of where the school is headed.  This is not a fundraising event, but one where we share the awesome things God is doing and where He is leading the school!

We are excited to share this with all those who would attend, so please feel free to pass this invitation along to others in the ACS community (invite grandparents or even a neighbor who is interested in hearing more about Allendale Christian)!

Below you will find dates and times of the Vision Events we are hosting (on campus). Please email your RSVP to chintz@allendalechristian.com. We hope to see you there!

Grandparents Day: The Grandparents Day Committee has selected Friday, May 5, 2023 as the date that the Grandparents Day program will be held. More details will be provided as we get closer to that date. With our growth, it is likely that the program will have to be done twice in order to have all Grandparents be able to have a chance to watch their grandkids.

Absences due to illness: For the current school year, students will be able to return to school when they are fever free for 24 hours and have significantly improved symptoms. Families have the option to keep a student home longer if they choose. Quarantines will not be mandated for students and staff that have been exposed to an illness.

Volunteer Opportunity! Throughout the course of the month, teachers will have the opportunity to meet with their grade-level team and our Director of Learning, Rachel Reed, 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! Sign Up Genius link
