[Grades 4 & 5] Middle School Information Night | January 25 at 6:30 PM Middle School Information Night will be held on Wednesday, January 25 at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom. While the event is mainly intended for 4th and 5th-grade families, anyone is welcome to attend. This event is a great chance to learn about the middle school experience from two panels of presenters and ask questions afterward. The first panel will consist of current students and middle school teachers who will present elements of the program and talk about their experiences. The second panel of ACDS alumni, who are now in high school, college, and/or pursuing careers, will then share about how our middle school supported their success in "life after ACDS." Members of both panels can help answer your questions afterward. The Zoom link will be emailed on the day of the event. We look forward to seeing you there!
