2023-2024 School Year Calendar

The ACS Book Fair is coming! On March 18-24, ACS will be having its annual book fair at school through i55 Book Fairs, a company who is dedicated to glorifying God and aligning with biblical values in the book selection they provide.

While students will have opportunities to shop during the week of the fair, the community is also invited to a book fair open house Saturday, March 18, from 1-4 pm. You can also shop the fair early at this website. Anything you order online will still count towards our profits, and it can be shipped free to school at the end of the fair.

Finally, Mrs. Koning needs your help to make the fair run smoothly! If you are available to help, please sign up using this link. There are a variety of time slots to choose from to fit your schedule.

If there are questions, please email Mrs. Koning at rkoning@allendalechristian.com. 

The annual Society meeting will take place on Monday, March 20 at 6:30pm in the rotunda at school. The purpose of this meeting is to approve the budget for the upcoming school year, as well as affirm candidates for the Board and PTA that are new, or up for renewal of a term. Additionally, this year, there will also be the approval of Constitutional changes in regards to the roles of a Strategic Board of Trustees. To see the agenda for the Society meeting, please click on this LINK.

We are looking forward to another awesome season!

The Mother/Son Event will be on Wednesday, April 12th from 5:30pm-8pm. We will be going to BAM! Bowling Center. The cost is $20 per person and will include 1 hour of bowling, 1 game of laser tag, 45 minutes of arcade play, 2 pieces of pepperoni pizza and 1 soda per person. A flyer will be coming home with your son(s) containing these details. You are welcome to register online here or turn in the bottom slip of the flyer in the office to register. Payment can be made via cash, check or Venmo at the time of registration. Please register by Wednesday, April 5th!

Bus driver job opening: ACS will be looking to hire a part-time bus driver for two days per week for next school year. If you know someone who would be interested in this position, please have them email Brian Koetje at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org, or call the office.

Hot Lunch Accounts: With the introduction of parent-controlled low-balance email notifications, the low-balance email notifications in the meal tracking system ACS uses will no longer send email for districts that accept deposits through Family Portal (which we do at ACS). Instead, low-balance email now will be sent through your Family Portal account only.

To set your notifications, please log into your Family Portal account (familyportal.cloud) and click the Notifications button, check the box to indicate they want to receive low-balance reminders, and set a dollar amount indicating when to send notices. If you previously opted out of all emails, you will need to uncheck that box to access the low-balance email settings. If you do not see the option for low balance emails and the opted out of emails is unchecked, please hold shift and click the refresh button.

When a student's balance is at or below the amount you selected, an email will be sent. You will only receive one request every three days for a given student. Low-balance email is handled per Family Portal account. If multiple people have access to a student, each person has its own control over how low-balances work for them.

STILL DATES AVAILABLE - 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

3-on-3 Basketball Tournament: Allendale Christian School will be holding our 16th annual 3-on-3 basketball tournament on Saturday, March 18, at Allendale High School!
