Happy Friday! We’ve had a great week at school, and it’s hard to believe Christmas is almost here. As we head into the final stretch, we want to thank you for the support, encouragement, and partnership you bring every single day. Our students have shown resilience, growth, and a whole lot of holiday spirit!
A quick reminder: MONDAY is the last required student day, and all students who were issued school devices will need to return their iPads, blocks, and charger cables at that time. New devices will be issued in January, so turning in the current ones is important for a smooth transition.
We are grateful for your trust, your involvement, and the way you champion your children and our school. Let’s finish strong and step into Christmas week with joy and excitement!
WE ARE AC! 🎄💛💜

Doing your best isn’t about perfection—it’s about respect, effort, attitude, and a willingness to listen and grow. A student’s “best” may look different from day to day, but the commitment to try, to learn from mistakes, and to respond with respect is what creates excellence. Learning Together. Leading Responsibly. Building Excellence.

Happy Thanksgiving!
This week, we’re focusing on the basics — learning well, showing kindness, and finishing strong before we rest. We’re grateful for our ACMS families!
Monday- Basketball Home
Monday & Tuesday- Mississippi State Cyber Truck on site

What a busy week it’s been! Activities, events, and middle-school fun were everywhere, but our students still locked in during class and pushed forward academically — and that’s something to celebrate.
Now we’re just one week away from Thanksgiving Break!
Teachers, keep leading with purpose.
Families, keep encouraging with love.
Students—show up, be kind, stay focused, and finish strong!
We’re proud of our ACMS community and thankful for each of you.

As we enter the final ten school days of school before Thanksgiving Break, we want to encourage all of our students to finish strong! Consistent attendance and effort during these last days make a huge difference in helping students stay on track academically.
This is also the perfect time for students to catch up on any makeup work or assignments they may have missed due to absences. Getting caught up now will allow every student to head into Thanksgiving Break feeling confident, relaxed, and ready to enjoy the holiday to the fullest.
Thank you for partnering with us to help your child succeed. Let’s work together to make these next ten days productive, positive, and focused!
Learning Together. Leading Responsibly. Building Excellence.
What a week! Full moons always bring a little extra energy to middle school life, but our teachers and students showed up with grit, patience, and hard work every single day. We are incredibly proud of the way our ACMS family pushed through, supported one another, and kept learning a priority.
Thank you, ACMS teachers, for your dedication.
Thank you, ACMS students, for your determination.
And thank you, ACMS families, for your support.
Let’s finish strong together!
Learning Together. Leading Responsibly. Building Excellence.
