Preschool - 5th grade: Carnival 
It’s Carnival time for our Preschool through 5th grade students! Students will stay in their grade-level cohorts throughout the carnival and will rotate through different game stations outdoors. Pre-approved parent volunteers were COVID tested on June 3 and will wear masks at all times.

6th and 7th grades: Olympics 
6th and 7th grades will have their own Olympic Games by grade. Each group will compete at each game and rotate with their Advocacy group. As with the Carnival, pre-approved parent volunteers were COVID tested on June 3 and will wear masks at all times.

8th grade: Top Golf
The 8th grade will celebrate together off-site at Top Golf in San Jose.

Reminder: Campus remains closed to non-essential visitors 
Only pre-approved parent volunteers will be allowed on campus on June 9 to help run the Carnival games and Olympics. All parent volunteers were COVID tested and will be wearing masks at all times.

Please donate canned food for this short, student-organized drive, Monday through Wednesday next week only. Drop off items in boxes located near the front office.

Before delivering any donations to the Uniform Exchange, please carefully assess the condition of the clothing. Donations must be in clean, excellent or like-new condition -- please do not donate clothing that is worn, discolored or damaged. Unwanted donations require our volunteers to spend extra time sorting and packing separate loads for Goodwill. Please support our Uniform Exchange volunteers by disposing of unwanted worn items elsewhere.

Wow! This year has definitely been one for the record books. A year full of uncertainty that has kept us on our toes all year long.  

This year we found ourselves having to think outside of the box to come up with ways to reinvent our normal PSA activities, as well as come up with new and different ways to continue to build our sense of community. With every change and effort we made this year, the ACDS community was there to offer their overwhelming support.

Thank you to everyone who attended Zoom activities, donated to our monthly Staff Appreciation Events, and supported our activities and efforts. Our ACDS community really is the best!

We can’t wait to see everyone back on campus in September when we can enjoy this amazing new facility together. Thank you for making it possible!
