ACMS! Week 3 is here. Encourage your middle schooler to stay focused, manage time, and ask for help. "Your encouragement today builds your child's confidence for tomorrow." Small daily efforts lead to big success. Thanks for your support!
VB Thurs at Biggersville
Fall Meet the Bears Fri 6:00


If you have an elementary sibling, you may be dropped off at Alcorn Central Elementary School and walk the sidewalk to the Middle School. Plenty of teachers will be there to guide you and ensure your safety.
If you have a high school sibling and prefer to be dropped off at the Bear in front of the ACHS Gym, you may do so as well.
Thank you for working with us as we learn together, lead responsibly, and continue building excellence in all areas of AC!


- Volleyball Home Monday 5:00
- Volleyball at Corinth Thursday 4:30

Starting tomorrow, all school buses will stage in a new area before unloading, slightly changing the morning traffic pattern. Please review the diagram to see how this may affect your commute.
- Bus Staging: Buses will line up along the right side of the paved entrance/exit to the ACHS Baseball Field. The left side will remain open for ACMS car line exit traffic.
- No Parking Zone: Painted spaces between the ACMS car line entrance and exit must remain clear for buses to merge safely without blocking traffic.
- ACES Car Line will remain in the gravel road area, stacked into three lines. Pull forward to close gaps, keep lines short, and zipper merge smoothly into the drop-off lane.
- Traffic Attendant: Follow all directions at the ACES/ACMS/bus crossing intersection to prevent confusion or accidents.
Please stay alert, follow posted directions, and drive with extra caution. Student safety is our top priority.



The AC Football Boosters need YOUR help to keep building and growing our football program!
We know our AC parents have amazing talents, and we’d love for you to share them.
📣 How to Get Involved:
Contact any AC football coach or Booster Club member to find out how you can help.
💛 WE ARE AC! 💛

ACMS is proud to provide Proficiency Sports Passes for this year’s students in grades 5–8 who scored Proficient on last year’s State Tests.
These passes will allow students free entry to Middle School games only (not valid for High School games).
Passes will be sent home with students on Monday—I’ll send a reminder that afternoon so you know to look for it.
We hope this will help boost attendance at our games and also save families some money!


For safety reasons, please notify Mrs. Cindy by 2:00 PM of any changes in your child’s afternoon transportation.
We’ve had several students show up at buses with phones in hand saying they can call home for permission. This is not allowed. Help us keep everyone safe by discussing this expectation at home.
🚫 No changes will be accepted after 2:00 PM unless it’s an emergency.
Thank you for your cooperation and support!

Over the first few days of school, we've been educating our students on the expectations at ACMS and why they matter. Students have asked great questions, and we’re proud of how well these conversations have been received.

Today, we made a specific announcement regarding our dress code, and we want to be transparent by sharing exactly what was discussed.
🔸 Dress Code Clarification:
The wording in our dress code policy states: “Leggings, jeggings, or form-fitting pants may only be worn with clothing that provides proper coverage.”
Proper coverage means:
- Fully covering both the front and back
- Not tucking in the front of shirts or tops
We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a respectful and distraction-free learning environment. These conversations are part of our commitment to:
✨ Learning Together. Leading Responsibly. Building Excellence.

Please remember one new lunch form per household is due for each school year!
Apply online at www.myschoolapps.com
Paper applications are also available in every ASD school office.
If you are certain your family does not qualify for free or reduced meals, please write “Does not qualify” on a paper form and return it to your school's office.
We are working hard to make certain we are serving all our families and need your help to see that the job is complete!

We had a fantastic first three days at ACMS and are looking forward to an even better week ahead as we head into our first full five-day schedule!
We were able to get the majority of student devices assigned, and while we know we missed a few or made small mistakes along the way, we appreciate your patience and understanding.
For students who are keeping their devices at school, please know we have a plan in place for charging, safe storage, and daily drop-off/pick-up. We will share those details with students next week as we continue learning and improving the process.
This is all part of what it means to be at ACMS:
✨ Learning Together. Leading Responsibly. Building Excellence.

We’re excited to welcome our students back tomorrow! Here are a few important reminders to help things run smoothly:
🚌 Bus Pickup Times:
Bus routes may be unpredictable the first few days. Please extend grace and patience as transportation adjusts.
🚗 Car Rider Lines & Senior Parade:
Expect delays during arrival and dismissal — plan ahead!
📋 Student Schedules:
To ensure student safety and accountability, all students should follow their current schedule until any changes can be made.
🎓 Grade-Level Meetings:
Each grade will have orientation sessions during the first few days to walk through expectations, routines, and school procedures.
👕 Dress Code Reminder:
Please make sure students are dressed appropriately following coverage, length, and modesty guidelines.
💻 Technology Requirements:
7th & 8th graders must pay their tech fee before iPads are issued.
All students must return a signed tech form to receive their device.
We can’t wait to kick off an amazing year at Alcorn Central Middle School!
