To help our K-12 students and families get a better idea of what to expect when they come back to school for F2F learning we created Elementary, Middle, and High School "back to school" videos. We hope this will answer questions and better prepare our students for the first day of school in-person (K-8) and remote (9-12) on Tuesday, September 8, 2020. *Elementary School F2F Update: bit.ly/ACS-K-5-Fall20Update *Middle School F2F Update: bit.ly/ACS-6-8-Fall20Update *High School Remote Update: bit.ly/ACS-9-12-Fall20Update

MS girls basketball is scheduled to start practice on Mon August 24th at 3:30-5:30. All players will need a physical on file in the hs office (or mhsaa waiver if they qualify) prior to the first practice. No physical means no practice! With numbers being a little low for 7th and 8th grade girls there may be a need for 6th grade girls to try out for a few spots. They too can plan to be at practice on the 24th if interested and will be given more details then. Watch for updates as plans could change any day. Mhsaa is looking to do another update on Aug 20th so we may know more then.
Due to the unfortunate postponement of the football season, the MS parent meeting scheduled for Monday is cancelled. Stay tuned for further updates.
