The Allendale Christian staff is grateful to Mrs. Julie Warners who will be retiring from ACS at the end of the current school year. Mrs. Warners has taught at ACS for 29 years. She has impacted so many students in her time at ACS, has been a blessing to her colleagues, and has shown great passion for excellent Christ-centered education. Thank you, Mrs. Warners. She will receive recognition at a year-end educational staff gathering but if you would like to send a note of congratulations or appreciation, you may send a letter addressed to Allendale Christian at 11050 64th Ave., Allendale, MI 49401. You may also email her at jwarners@allendalechristian.com.
Yearbooks have been ordered! If you have not paid for your yearbook(s) yet, please do so as soon as possible. Thank you!
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
Camp Readyforagoodtimeriot: The camp is just as crazy as it sounds. Start summer off right with Mr. Wiechel and Mr. Cole-Rouser as they will be offering a sports and games camp for 2nd-8th graders at Allendale Christian School. We will be playing games such as Dodgeball, Matball, Blind Volleyball, Capture the Flag, Floor Hockey, Gaga Ball, Four Square, and more! The goal is to get together with friends, have some fun, play some games, and get some exercise. This is not limited to Allendale Christian students, so neighbors and relatives are also welcome! We will also start each session with devotions together.
Summer Tutoring is available from two ACS teachers! Please contact the teacher directly to set up tutoring! Click here for the schedule.
Summer office hours will be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9am - Noon. For your convenience, we also have the drop box located in front of school for any items you may need to drop off to the office during the summer.

COMMITTEE SIGN UPS FOR 2022-2023: LIVE UNTIL MAY 27!
The time has come when you are asked to prayerfully consider how you can bless your child’s school by serving on a committee. This is a great opportunity to get to know and serve next to other ACS families. To fill all our volunteer positions, we ask that each household/family serves on 2 committees (1 if you are a single parent) for the 2022-2023 school year. We have a fundraising goal of $90,000 and we need your help to make that possible! This money goes towards classroom supplies, technology, field trips and so much more that is needed each day in the classroom and the outdoor areas at school.
The sign up went “live” on Tuesday, May 17! If you missed the email, please follow this link to sign up for the committee that best fits your God given talents.
Thank you so much for supporting ACS and helping to make it a great place for our kids to learn! SIGN UP EARLY AS THE POPULAR COMMITTEE’S FILL UP FAST!
