Week of 17 November

Good Evening,

Thank yous:
for attending our Learning Progress Conferences. It was great to see everyone and nice to see parents, teachers, and students having a chance to sit and talk.

Reminder:




Request:
  • if you know you will not be returning to ACS for the second semester, please let us know. We can begin processing your necessary documents so they will be ready for you at the end of the semester and we can notify those who are on our waiting lists.

Updates:
  • Family Connection Chat will be tomorrow at 8:15 in the MPR. There will be dialogue about why ACS is a 1:1 school, what that means for learning, and how it looks on a daily basis for your son/daughter.
  • Our Math/Science consultant from the US, Erma Anderson, is at ACS this week. On Tuesday, Nov 19 at 8:15 in the MPR she will talk to parents about the Commom Core Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards. Come to find out about US Standards that we are implementing at ACS and what the significance of these Standards are for your child's education. 
  • MAP test results will be sent home on Sunday, Nov 24. An information session to explain the test to parents will be held on Tuesday, Nov 26 at 8:15 in the MPR.
Interesting tidbits...
.........the kinds of things your son/daughter's teachers think about and talk about when it comes to your child's learning....
