Parent Night is this Thursday from 6:30-7:45pm for parents of students in Young Fives through 8th grade. This event is for parents only. Please join us in the gym for an opening prayer and important information, and then go to your child(ren)'s classroom for a brief presentation from the teacher. Each teacher will give the same 15-minute presentation three times with a short passing time between. That way, parents with multiple children can make it to each teacher (divide and conquer if needed). The teachers are excited to share with you who they are, their passion for God, their deep hope for their students, and some expectations for the school year.

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!

RightNow Media! Allendale Christian strives to partner with each family to provide an excellent Christian education. We also want to support you in helping your entire family be firm in your faith, and to continually strengthen your relationship with the family. ACS is giving you free access to an extensive video library called RightNow Media! It’s like the "Netflix of Video Bible Studies" and has an extensive library of faith-based videos that you can access whenever and wherever you want—on your phone, iPad, computer, classroom projector or at home on your TV.
 
"As a principal, educator, husband, and parent, I know that it is a challenge in today’s culture to be able to have access to resources that connect us to God instead of separate us. I believe that RightNow Media will be a tool to serve you as you live out your faith in all aspects of life. RightNow Media has videos for everyone—kids, youth, parents, teachers, married couples, college students, single adults, working professionals—all aimed at helping you grow. I was amazed at the great videos, Bible studies, marriage and parenting support, Biblical finance, and much more. There is so much for the whole family! It is so worth checking out. Plus, the entire staff at ACS has access to these videos for their classrooms." - Brian Koetje
