Due to an increase in Covid-19 cases and the stress it places on our parents, students and staff, Alcorn Central Middle School will transition to Distance Learning the rest of this week and the next. We plan a return to face to face instruction after the Thanksgiving Break. Please continue to monitor your child's health and notify the school of any positive cases. Staff will be at school during this time pushing instruction out via Google Classroom (5th-6th) and Canvas (7th-8th). They will also be reaching out to see how we can continue to serve the needs of our students in other ways. WE ARE AC! Together Stronger!
