It’s a big week at ACMS! State Science Testing begins, progress reports go out, and it’s a short four-day week. In the middle of all the activity, let’s take a moment to reflect on the good things around us! This week also brings Good Friday, a powerful reminder of one of the most impactful moments in human history—the sacrifice and hope for many found in Jesus. I’m hoping we don’t just get through another week of school—I pray we thrive. Let’s continue supporting one another by staying positive, and finishing strong. WE ARE AC!

Dear Parents and Guardians, As our students learn to navigate friendships, challenges, and growing responsibilities, the words they choose carry more weight than they may realize. We kindly ask for your support in helping your child understand the power of their words. A kind comment can uplift someone’s day, while a careless one can cause real harm. Please take time to talk with your child about being intentional with their language, speaking with respect, and choosing kindness in all situations. Together, we can help shape a school culture where every student feels valued, safe, and supported. Thank you for being our partners in this effort. WE ARE ACMS!
