Jan. 8 Open House postponed until Saturday, Jan. 22 With the increase in Covid cases in the greater community, we are working hard to keep the ACDS community and our visitors as safe as possible by postponing the Saturday, January 8 open house until Saturday, January 22. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. as originally scheduled. To all those who volunteered to help at the Jan. 8 open house, please let us know if you are available on Jan. 22. If you are interested in volunteering as a parent or alum ambassador, please use this link to sign up: https://acdsvolunteers.ivolunteer.com/openhouse_2021 Middle school ambassadors should check their email from Mrs. White to sign up to be an ambassador for the January 22 Open House. As always, current families are most welcome to attend our open house events to learn more about the years beyond your child's current grade. Please reach out to admissions@almadencountryday.org if you have any questions. Is your Child Vaccinated? Upload their Vaccine Record In order to quickly and accurately communicate the appropriate steps to take in case of exposure to Covid-19, we strongly encourage parents of fully vaccinated students (2nd vaccination is dated two weeks prior to the current date) to upload a copy of their child's vaccination record card to the School Admin Portal. (Please log in to your account to start.) Going, going, waaaaiiiiit! The lost and found is overflowing with sweatshirts and fleece jackets, many of which are labeled with student names. Please stop by the lost and found clothing racks, conveniently located by the Auditorium doors, and claim your child's missing items. Any items not claimed by Friday, January 14, will be either laundered and donated to the Uniform Exchange or delivered to Goodwill. This is it, folks!
