Week of January 26

Good Evening,

A few "thank yous" to start with....

• Thanks to all those who attended our Family Chat Session last week. It is nice to have a regular turnout along with all of the great discussions and I do look forward to seeing everyone each month. Our next session is scheduled for 25 February.
• Thanks to the StuCo and all the volunteer chaperons for the dance this past Thursday. There was plenty of excitement in the air that was for sure!

Today we began the second semester of the school year. With the start of the new semester comes:

1. e-reports for Quarter 2. Teachers are completing comments and inputting final grades now. Reports will be sent 29 Jan.  
2. Some students began new semester or quarter classes. Students can check on Power School for second semester courses they are registered for. Any requests for course changes can be made through Moodle. 
3. New students to our middle school and I will say I am quite proud of our ACS students....they are welcoming, encouraging, and helpful to the new students who have joined us. 

There is a nice feel to the hallways these days......students seem to be confident with what they are doing at school and, more importantly, seem quite happy. We frequently hear "good noise" in the hallways.......students speaking nicely to others, being positive, lots of laughter.....it is nice to hear.

Have a good evening.
