Superintendent's Office
Dear ACS Community,
We enjoyed welcoming a great new group of ACS parents at a special event last weekend. Our enrollment now stands at 569, and it is still growing. In fact, we are hopeful that students currently in the admissions' pipeline will elevate our numbers to 575 or beyond. Thank you to our faculty and staff for their efforts to make ACS an ever more desirable school to which families entrust the education of their children.
Today will be the second to last installment describing the physical improvements to our campus over the summer. You can see from the attached pictures that both the inside and the outside of the classroom buildings at ACS were repaired and repainted. What is less obvious is that our teams took time to do these repairs right. They found some old repairs that were done improperly, and they took time to correct the work. This illustrates the growth in professionalism and attention to detail on our maintenance team. The work this summer also showcases the increased oversight and the higher standards to which our external contractors are being held. In all areas of the school, we are committed to using the tuition and fees that you provide as efficiently as we possibly can to deliver a high-quality education in an environment that supports and enhances learning. We thank our facilities team for doing their utmost to make this possible.
As the month of August comes to a close, I want to say that it continues to be a joy to work with our new team of academic administrators. The team's collective work overflows with both ideas and action steps that will take academics at ACS to a new level. It is truly a privilege to be at ACS during this time of excitement and renewal.
Have a great week ahead.
Yours,
Andrew
Estimada Comunidad de ACS,
Disfrutamos dando la bienvenida a un gran grupo nuevo de padres de ACS en un evento especial el fin de semana pasado. Nuestra inscripción ahora es de 569 y sigue creciendo. De hecho, tenemos la esperanza de que los estudiantes actualmente en proceso de admisión eleven nuestras cifras a 575 o más. Gracias a nuestros profesores y personal por sus esfuerzos para hacer de ACS un colegio cada vez más deseable en el que las familias confían la educación de sus hijos.
Hoy será la penúltima entrega describiendo las mejoras físicas a nuestro campus durante la vacación del verano. Pueden ver en las fotografías adjuntas que tanto el interior como el exterior de los edificios de aulas de ACS fueron reparados y repintados. Lo que es menos obvio es que nuestros equipos se tomaron el tiempo para hacer bien estas reparaciones. Encontraron algunas reparaciones antiguas que se habían hecho incorrectamente y se tomaron el tiempo para corregir el trabajo. Esto ilustra el crecimiento en el profesionalismo y la atención al detalle de nuestro equipo de mantenimiento. El trabajo de este verano también nos muestra la mayor supervisión y los estándares más altos a los que se exige a nuestros contratistas externos. En todas las áreas del colegio estamos comprometidos a utilizar la matrícula y los pagos que usted proporciona de la manera más eficiente posible para brindar una educación de alta calidad en un entorno que respalde y mejore el aprendizaje. Agradecemos a nuestro equipo de instalaciones por hacer todo lo que está a su alcance para hacer esto posible.
A medida que el mes de agosto llega a su fin, quiero decir que sigue siendo un placer trabajar con nuestro nuevo equipo de administradores académicos. El trabajo colectivo del equipo rebosa ideas y pasos de acción que llevarán a los académicos de ACS a un nuevo nivel. Es verdaderamente un privilegio estar en ACS durante este momento de emoción y renovación.
Que tengan una gran semana.
Atentamente,
Andrew

Elementary School
Dear Elementary Parents,
Welcome to the final days of August. These first few weeks have been dedicated to helping our students feel comfortable at school. We've been working to create classroom communities where students are safe, feel welcomed, and understand not only the routines and procedures of life at school but also their purposes. It's been a treat to be part of these experiences - and our teachers are so talented at cultivating warm & kind classrooms. In the coming weeks, we dive more and more into intensive academics. You will no doubt hear all about this exciting work that's taking place in your conversations with your child and from our teachers themselves.
Playground Installation has Begun: We are so very excited to share that our new playground is currently being installed on campus. The shipment arrived in the middle of last week. Though the completion date is dependent upon a few variables, the end of this process is in sight!
