FALL TALENT SHOW

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!!! The ACA juniors and seniors are sponsoring a Fall Talent Show to raise money for their spring trip to the Eastern Seaboard (Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC). ALL AGES ARE WELCOME TO PERFORM! Audition forms should be turned in at the school office. Entrance fees are $5 for a one person act and $10 for a group act (age 10 and under is $2 for a one person act and $4 for a group act).

“NUTCRACKER” EMAIL LIST

“Nutcracker” emails started going out this past weekend. If your student is in the production and you did not receive an email, please check your settings and make sure they allow mail from aspenson@cox.net. This is the address from which all “Nutcracker” emails will come. It is very important that you receive the emails, as this is the only means of communication that Mrs. Post and her crew will use. Please email Mrs. Aspenson or the school office to be added to the “Nutcracker” email list. Thank you!

SPIRIT WEAR DAY

This Friday is the Final Friday Spirit Wear Day for the month of September. This is for everyone – no coupon necessary! Please check the school handbook for spirit wear guidelines.

OCTOBER LUNCH ORDERS

The lunch order form for the month of October is now available “here” or in the school office. If you are ordering for the month, please return your order form with payment to the school office by this Friday, September 25th. Students are always able to order lunch each morning.

DIRECTORIES AVAILABLE

ACA school directories are now available in the school office. Each family gets one for free, additional copies are $2.00 each.

ILLNESS PROCEDURES

Parents: We would like to keep our students as healthy as possible. Please remind your students about the importance of hand washing and covering their mouths when coughing or sneezing. Remind them that they should not share food or beverages with their friends. If your student is sick, please keep them at home, especially if they are coughing, sneezing, throwing up, or have a fever. We will call and ask you to come and pick up a student who is throwing up or has a fever. Students should be fever free for a minimum of 24 hours (without fever reducing medication) before returning to school. For more information about contagious illnesses, including the h1n1 flu, please visit this web site: http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1FLU
