Reminder! There will be no classes held at ACSD from March 27-April 1. Classes resume April 2nd. Enjoy your break!

Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASPs) are coming up soon. Each building works to make a schedule for times to test while trying to not disrupt the normal school schedule. Please prioritize attendance during the days of testing. Completing make-up tests in different locations and at different times from peers is not the best setting for students to show what they know. Try to not schedule appointments or activities for days when your child(ren) will be testing. https://youtu.be/90h9p5b7vUQ

On March 26, Mr. Jacobson will be having a meeting for families with students in grades 6-11 to discuss a variety of topics, but namely the new scheduling platform that ACSD will be utilizing next year. See the graphic or PDF for more information. View PDF- https://5il.co/2h1ha
