Every Monday & Wednesday, parents are welcome to bring their children to the playground for supervised play after school from 3:30–4:30 p.m.

Simply pick up your child at the end of carline, park, and enter the playground through the side gate.

Parent/Teacher conferences will take place Thursday afternoon, October 29 and Friday morning, October 30. More details to come.

Our yellow bus is currently out of service for repairs, and we’ve been running the Ingles shuttle with a smaller mini bus in the meantime. The afternoon shuttle will continue to run daily for students signed up for the semester plan. However, because of the limited seating, we are temporarily unable to offer occasional or drop-in rides.

We appreciate your patience and flexibility while the bus is repaired, and we’ll share an update as soon as occasional rides are available again.

We’re 39 subscriptions into our goal of 100 by the end of November, and every one helps fund next year’s Habitat for Humanity Student Build!

Each $35 subscription goes entirely toward building a home for a deserving family. It also lets the subscribing student or faculty member wear Friday dress on the last Tuesday of each month for the rest of the school year.

Our next dress-down day is Tuesday, October 27.

To subscribe: Click the link below, choose “Habitat for Humanity Student Build” from the drop-down menu, and note the name and grade of each subscribing student. You can also leave a check (made out to ACA) or cash at the front desk, addressed to Seth Rowe, with a note listing the subscribing student(s).

In a world shaped by screens, algorithms, and artificial intelligence, how do we help our kids know who they really are? On this episode of The ACA Podcast, we sit down with John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview.

John unpacks the real benefits and the real dangers of technology and AI. He challenges us to embrace the enormous influence they still have and to use it intentionally. Above all, he reminds us that our children's identity can only be found in the One who created them.

This conversation will equip and encourage you to help the next generation stand firm in who God made them to be.

We'd love to have you! For more information or to submit prayer requests, email MomsinPrayerACA@gmail.com

Please read the email from Mrs. Boer about college applications. We need to know where, when, and how you are applying so we can send your school materials and write your recommendations. Check in with Mrs. Boer and Mrs. Bullock with your questions and concerns.
