Week of June 1

Good Evening,

June 1st..............where did this year go?!?! It seems as though we still have so much to do!

As we go into the last couple weeks of the school year, let's help each other. This is a stressful time of year for the students who are staying and those who are leaving, for parents who are packing out and/or trying to make summer travel plans, and teachers who are continuing to guide students towards continued learning........not an easy feat at this time of year :)

Thanks to Ms. Marinucci, Ms. Martin, Ms. Leidtke and the Gr 8 students for the great IAR presentations. Great speakers were passionate and knowledgeable about their topics....great way to wrap up the school year.

Upcoming Events:
From our French and Spanish Teachers:
The World Language Oral Skills Showcase for French and Spanish will take place on June 3 starting at 4:00. Please attend and enjoy our students performing in a world language.

Gr 8 Reflection Night
Gr 8 parents and students are invited to celebrate and reflect on the student's middle school years at ACS. Students are planning a program of time to say good-byes, time to hang out, and time for parents to gather also. The evening will begin at 6:00 pm.

Dead Sea Transition trips........we are still awaiting confirmation from the hotel, however, these trips will take place during the last week of school. As soon as the exact dates have been confirmed we will notify everyone. The purpose of these trips is to allow students time to bring closure to the school year and say good-bye to friends.

ALL students must complete a check out form at the end of the school year. Students will be given forms on 12 June. If you are departing ACS early, please notify us of your departure date so we can have all necessary documents ready for you. Quarter 4th reports will not be available until 18 June.

Regardless of if you are staying or leaving....below is a link that might be helpful to you and your family during this time of transition.
