🟣 IMPORTANT STUDENT/PARENT MESSAGE 🟣 MacBook Collection begins this week as we wrap up state testing and prepare for final exams. Please be aware of the procedures listed below to ensure a smooth transition to the end of the school year regarding MacBook collection. - ALL MacBooks must be returned by Friday, May 14. Outstanding devices will result in final exam non-exemption and a hold on scheduling for the new school year. - ALL MacBooks must be returned with adequate battery percentage, so please charge your device before attempting to turn it in. - ALL accessories must be turned in with the device upon collection. Charging cords and blocks are considered part of the device and failure to return these items will result in the charging of replacement fees. - Technology Fees and Damage Fees must be paid in full prior to the releasing of a student's 2021-2022 schedule. Juniors - Wednesday, May 12 Sophomores - Thursday, May 13 Freshman - Friday, May 14 Pickup Days will begin in the High School Lobby around 8:15.

Happy Mother’s Day! Today we celebrate all the wonderful women who do whatever it takes to help their children grow and be successful. Many of our teachers are mothers with children of their own. Regardless of who gave birth to them though, our teachers love all their students as if they were their own. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to love and support your children. Today we celebrate with you and hope you have a blessed and restful Mother’s Day! #weareAC
