Carnival is Coming!

The PSA is very excited to announce that a modified and safe version of the end of year carnival is coming on the last day of school, June 9, 2021! The carnival chairs are working hard to put together a fun and safe celebration for our Preschool through 5th grade students to enjoy. Students will stay in their grade-level cohorts throughout the carnival and will rotate through different game stations.

 

More information to come as details are finalized.

 

If you have any questions please reach out to: acdscarnival@gmail.com.

 

Stay tuned for information regarding plans for the middle school students on June 9.

Parent Ambassadors and Buddy Families Needed

Would you be willing to be a buddy family for a newly enrolled student’s family or an ACDS parent ambassador?
 
From May through September, buddy families reach out at least once a month to connect with a new ACDS family. Some buddy families set up playdates, picnics, dinners or outings with their new families to become acquainted prior to the new school year. Buddy families also usually attend all school-sponsored events so they can be a familiar face to our new families, helping them transition into our community. Buddy families are an integral part of the ACDS new family connections and outreach program.
 
Also, would you be available to connect with prospective families via email or phone to answer questions about ACDS? We are working on providing a readily accessible platform for prospective parents to reach out to current parents. Families interested in ACDS find that talking to current families really helps them understand our school, program and philosophy from the parent perspective. The time commitment is up to you: our new platform will allow current parents to identify how much time they are willing to devote as a parent ambassador.

Contact Mary Jo Heindel or Amber White if you’re interested in learning more.
