Advising Update!

Hello parents and students,

Thank you so much to all those that completed their advising meetings. Fall classes for 2022-2023 Juniors and Seniors are beginning to fill up. Now, we can focus on current 9th grade students and any students that have yet to schedule an advising meeting. There are still spaces, but you do NOT want to wait too long to schedule your advising meeting. These meetings are how students get their schedules for the Fall Semester.

If you are any of the following:

• Returning Senior (5th year)
• Going into 12th grade
• Going into 11th grade

You should already have a Fall schedule. If you do not, PLEASE schedule your advising meeting as soon as possible. Our new advisor, Cindy Ross, will be helping with advising.

Here are the dates for the last advising time frame:

• May 2nd – May 6th : Mr. Pablo Correa will be available
• May 9th – May 13th : Mr. Pablo Correa and Mrs. Cindy Ross will be available
• May 24th – June 28th (TUESDAYS ONLY): Mr. Pablo Correa and Mrs. Cindy Ross will be available

Free Cybersecurity Camp at ACC

June 13-17 or July 11-15

The US Department of Homeland Security defines cybersecurity as “the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.” In this emerging field, you may not have a clear impression of who works in cybersecurity, and what a job in cybersecurity would look like - isn’t just one job—it’s a varied and dynamic collection of careers. For kids who love puzzles, cybersecurity can be an exciting gateway to all the aspects in the world of information safety. ACC’s summer camps are helping students explore how cybersecurity works, get some hands-on foundational skills, and explore career possibilities, all culminating in a Digital Escape Room event on the final day.

Tuition for this Summer Youth Camp is being funded through scholarships provided by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Seats are limited to 15 high school students who are recommended by their school district, on a first come, first serve basis. Seats will fill up fast!
