The Early Childhood Open House will be held Thursday, January 13, from 6:30-8:00pm! We are excited to have you join us to learn more about Preschool, Young Fives, Kindergarten, and Child Care at Allendale Christian School.
- For current ACS families, enrollment for 2022-23 preschool and child care has begun and the forms were sent home in a prior email. There will be a one-week window for ACS families to enroll in those programs before it is open to the public at the Open House on January 13.

Help us promote ACS to family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, church members, etc. Your word of mouth promotion is critical to people hearing the great things happening at our school.

Lost and Found - Please check out the lost and found table in the Rotunda and claim any items that belong to your child(ren). Anything still remaining on the table by next Friday, January 14th, will be donated. Thanks!
End of Day West parking lot pickup reminder: If you pick up your child(ren) in the west parking lot, please begin to arrive in that lot around 3:10. People are starting to arrive earlier and earlier, causing an earlier backup toward the road. If you have to arrive early, consider waiting in a nearby parking lot, and then arriving to ACS around 3:10pm. Also, if all three buses are not already in the lot, please do not double up until they have all arrived. Thank you.
MORE DATES ADDED - 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!
