A-C PRESCHOOL INTENT TO ENROLL |
|
The Amanda Clearcreek Local School District is moving forward to open our own preschool classrooms to be housed at A-C Primary School.
The program is designed to serve six to eight identified special needs students, ages three to five, with the option to include four to eight typically developing peers. Please complete the Intent to Enroll Form if your child meets either of these descriptions.
Typical preschool applications are not accepted before the child is 2.5 years old. A typical child must be at least 3.5 years old and toilet trained to attend preschool. A student with a disability must be three years old, and toilet trained is preferred.
|
|
|
First preference will be given to children who live in the district and will be kindergarten-eligible in the fall of the following year. Each child will need a physical and dental examination within 30 days of the start of school. The cost of the program will be $120 per week for typical students, with an income-based sliding scale available for families. Students identified with a disability will attend free of charge.
You will be notified of screening and registration information at a later date. If you have questions, please email llowe@amanda.k12.oh.us.
COMPLETING THIS FORM DOES NOT GUARANTEE ACCEPTANCE

Article submitted by Morgan Williams, English II, AP Lang. Comp. Teacher and Play Advisor
The ACHS Drama Club is ready to share The Tin Woman by Sean Grennan with the community.
|
|
|
Based on a true story, The Tin Woman uses humor and pathos to explore loss, family, and what it means to be given new life. Due to the play’s serious tone and some mature language, it is not recommended for children under 13.
Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. on April 9 & 10, and 3 p.m. on April 11. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Everyone attending the show is required to wear a mask. Information about ticket purchasing and more details about the show can be found here.

Imagination Library provides free books to Ohio’s young children through a partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library wants every kindergartener to begin school with 60 books in his or her home. Parents can enroll children from birth to age five in the program to receive a new book every month. |
|
|
Early access to books gives children a greater chance of success when they start kindergarten. Developing literacy begins at birth. By age three, a child’s brain already is 80% developed, and by the time a child enters kindergarten, he or she must know thousands of words in order to succeed in the classroom. One of the best ways to ensure children are armed with the knowledge they need to succeed is by reading aloud to them and giving them access to books. Learn more about this program on the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library website. Click here for enrollment information.
