Our Christian sympathy goes to Brian Koetje and his family in the passing of his father this past weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.

Elementary Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held October 18 & 19 from 5:00-8:15pm. An information sheet will be sent home with your child this week.

The Mother/Daughter event will take place on Thursday evening, October 28 from 5:30-7:30pm. We will be heading to Fruit Ridge Hay Rides for hay rides, corn mazes, a bonfire and snacks. Look for a flyer with the information and pricing to come home next week with your daughter! 

The theme for the 2021 Foundation Dinner is An Evening of Impact. We are excited to have individuals from our own Allendale Christian School Community speaking on the impact ACS has had on them and their families, and how God is on the Move at ACS! Mark your calendars! Tuesday, November 9 from 6:00-8:30, hosted here at the Allendale Christian School gymnasium, you are invited to make an impact on the students of ACS. Come and hear the stories of how others are impacted by Allendale Christian School, while enjoying a meal catered by Johnny B's BBQ (an ACS alumni!) and music by the ACS Staff Praise Team. 

After School Pick-up Reminder: Please do not enter the parking lots prior to 3:10pm. We are starting to see people show up close to 3pm, or even before, in the west lot. This encourages more people to come earlier and we end up backed up to the road quicker. This also makes it inconvenient when buses show up a few minutes late. If people arrive after 3:10pm, it works much better for traffic control. We are also not allowed to have cars park on the service road behind Family Fare as they wait to be able to pull in the drive. Please share this info with anyone who may be picking your kids up. Thank you!

URGENT Bus Driver need! We are in urgent need of a part time, and possibly temporary, bus driver. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact Brian Koetje, Principal, at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org.

ACS is seeking substitute teachers and aides for the current school year. If interested, please contact Brian Koetje, Principal, at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org.

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!

ACS will honor any medical exemptions that were provided last year and this year to this point. We have been given a reminder to pass along from the health department that acceptable medical exemptions are from MD's and DO's. If there are other needs that fit under a 504 plan, the school will work with the family. Let Brian Koetje know if you have any questions.
