OPEN HOUSE DATES SET

ACA has scheduled some Open House dates for prospective families. Please help us spread the word about the following Open House times:

Monday, March 2nd, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Wednesday, March 11th, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Monday, March 30th, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Most of our students come to us through “word of mouth” advertising, so we need each of our families to invite/bring friends or family who might be interested in enrolling their student at ACA. You can print out a flyer with these dates here.

RE-ENROLLMENT FOR 2009/2010

Re-enrollment forms were mailed last week to our ACA families. Currently enrolled families should return their enrollment forms by March 15th to reserve their student’s place in their class. After March 15th, we will be accepting new students for next year. A $100 per family deposit is due with your re-enrollment forms. This deposit will be applied to 2009-2010 tuition.

VALENTINE’S DAY FUND RAISERS

A big THANK YOU to the volunteers who helped make the Valentine fund raisers a success! If you did not get to see our Singing Valentines performing on Channel 6 or Channel 23, you can go here and hear them.

MONTHLY LUNCH ORDERS

Burger King is now available on Mondays for lunch! The lunch order form for March is now available in the school office or by clicking here. If you are ordering for the month, please return your order form and payment to the office by Friday, February 27th.

YEARBOOKS

2009 yearbooks are now on sale! Order your yearbook by March 27th and get it for $30… it will cost $35 after that date. You can order on-line by clicking here or in the school office. The yearbooks will arrive in August and will be a complete record of this current school year. You will definitely want this hardback, full color yearbook so order your copy now.

TWITTER

ACA is now on TWITTER! You can subscribe to the ACA Twitter updates here. You can also get website updates via an RSS feed or email.

NATIONAL LATIN EXAM

All ACA students who are taking Latin will be taking the National Latin Exam on Tuesday, March 10th, at 8:00 a.m. Plan to be on time!

ISRAEL TRIP

Twelve ACA students and ten teachers, parents, and friends will leave on a 14 day trip to Israel on Thursday March 12th. They will stop in Amsterdam for a whirlwind, 8 hour tour on their way to Israel where they will visit such places as an Israeli high school, En Gedi, Masada, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, and Jerusalem. Please pray for this group as they prepare for this once in a lifetime experience.

PARKING LOT PROCEDURES

PARENTS AND STUDENT DRIVERS: It seems we have forgotten some of our parking lot procedures! Please remember to enter our parking lot from 30th Street and pull around to the back to drop off students. DO NOT PARK OR STOP IN THE DRIVEWAY! Stopping in the driveway blocks traffic on 30th Street as others are unable to turn into the drive. Please drop off students in the back of the building, or park in the Shriner’s lot and walk your student across the street. When leaving the ACA parking lot, please exit through the Sherwin Williams lot onto Sheridan Ave. DO NOT ENTER THE ACA LOT FROM SHERIDAN AVE. We have had several “close calls” in the mornings because student drivers are entering the lot from Sheridan as parents are exiting the lot. After school, please do not park & leave your car in the “pick up” lanes. If you need to speak to a teacher or wait for your student, please pull into a parking space. Thank you all so much for your cooperation in these matters.
