The ACS Staff and Board would like to thank Mrs. Laura Huisman for her years of service at ACS. Laura has been a blessing to ACS for 14 years, as both a middle elementary and Kindergarten teacher. She has poured her time, energy, skills and love into her students each year. We are so grateful for Laura's impact on the ACS community. We pray blessings on her as she transitions into her new role at Grand Rapids Christian's Evergreen Elementary!

The ACS Staff and Board are also grateful to Mrs. Nancy Lutke who will be retiring after 13 years at ACS teaching first grade (34 years total teaching). Nancy has impacted many kids during her time at ACS, igniting their interest in the subjects she has taught them, as well as in God's creation (and especially butterflies). Her creativity and passion for experiential learning has provided many kids with wonderful opportunities to live out their faith while in her classroom. We are thankful for Nancy's time at ACS and her service to our Lord in this community. 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 nlutke@allendalechristian.com.

APS Bus Riders - If you have a T-Pass for riding an APS bus, please return them to our office as soon as you can. Thank you!

Lost and Found- There are several tables set up in the rotunda with the lost and found items. Please feel free to come take a look and see if anything belongs to your child(ren)!

Auto debit for tuition payments - If you would like to have your 2023-2024 tuition payment taken directly out of your bank account, please fill out the auto debit form which can be found by clicking this link. Any questions, contact skuperus@allendalechristian.com. 

Summer Tutoring is available from several ACS teachers! Please contact the teacher directly to set up tutoring for your child. Click here for the schedule.

Summer office hours - The office will be open this summer on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am - noon. If you have anything you need to drop off and it's outside of those hours, feel free to put it in the drop box located on the brick pillar out front.

Summer Feeding Program - Please click on the following link to find a location for Summer Feeding this year for your child(ren) age 18 and under. --> Link

Hearing and Vision Screenings - Beat the back-to-school rush and schedule a free hearing and vision screening at Ottawa County Department of Public Health. Children ages 3 to 6 are eligible. Any child entering kindergarten in the 2023-2024 school year is required to have a hearing and vision screening. Call (616) 396-5266 to schedule.

Waiver Education Appointments - Do not wait to call the Ottawa County Health Department to schedule your waiver education appointment if your child(ren) will be needing to have one completed prior to starting school in the fall. The waiver process is changing slightly, so the health department anticipates being busier than normal this summer. Because your child(ren) must be up to date on their immunizations or have a proper waiver filed in order to start school, it is very important to schedule sooner rather than later. Call (616) 396-5266 to schedule.

PTA Committee Sign Up - 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 2023-2024 school year. We have a fundraising goal of $100,000 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.

Please follow the link below to sign up for the committee that best fits your God given talents.
