Hello everyone. I hope that this email finds you safe and sound!  I am still in a state of shock at the amount of damage that Sandy has caused to so many people.  I hope all of you are recovering and that you and your loved ones are well. 

We will resume our Week 8 of school this Saturday!  Due to the snow day last Saturday, our schedule has been pushed back another week.  The board members are calling a special meeting to discuss the impact on the remainder of the calendar.  We were originally planning to have week 14 on one Saturday, and our Graduation and New Year celebration on the following Saturday – a response to our recently conducted survey.   Now we are back to the drawing board and need to figure out what adjustments we need to make.  We will keep everyone posted.

This Saturday we will be taking our class pictures.  So dress nice and smile!

An ACS sponsored training session for the teachers will be at our school tomorrow from 11:00am to 1:00pm.  Some elective classes might be canceled to allow the teachers to attend.  Teachers will make arrangements to make up the time in the subsequent weeks.   Thanks to all for your cooperation.  Class pictures for the canceled electives will be scheduled for another day.

Last but not least, a reminder from our board member, Ms. Cherry Kung.  Cherry will be coordinating the senior class scholarship award.   She asked that all senior class students start thinking about their application as the deadline approaches. More information to follow. 

Don’t forget to order your lunches now!  Here is the link:
