Cougar Nation,
This week is Spring Break. I hope you all enjoy a restful break with your families. We look forward to seeing students back in our building on April 12th.
Monday, March 29th, the Alexander County School Board voted to remain in Plan B for the remainder of the school year. This means that student schedules will remain the same, having two days of in-person instruction and 3 days of remote learning. All individuals on the ACHS campus are required to wear a face mask that completely covers their nose and mouth. We will continue implementing cleaning protocols. We thank each of you for your diligence this school year as we provide the safest school environment possible for our students.
Keep bringing your A-game!
Mr. Palmer
