Cougar Nation,
As we enter the month of February, I hope that everyone is settling into our Spring semester. Our in-person and virtual classes are off to a great start. Please continue to check-in with your students to ensure they are successful in their academic endeavors. Please review our remote and virtual learning resources located on our school's website (linked below). Progress reports were sent home with students last week. Students in the Virtual Academy will receive their progress reports in the mail this week. Progress reports are a valuable tool in monitoring student performance. The PowerSchool Parent Portal is another tool that you can use to help support your student's academic success. If you need assistance with Parent Portal, please contact the school.
Please continue your diligence as our battle with COVID-19. Teachers and school staff are following school-wide cleaning protocols. Thank you to those who have monitored the health of their families and themselves. You have helped make our campus safer through your efforts. Please remain diligent by monitoring and communicating any concerns so we can continue to foster a safe learning environment.
We are excited to have sports back up and running this year. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our sports seasons look very different. The modified sports schedules and safety protocols can be found on the ACHS Athletic webpage (linked below). Unfortunately, we are required to limit the number of spectators at our sporting events. Information on how you can watch our athletic events online can also be found on the ACHS Athletic webpage.
Want to support our athletes? Would you like to be a fan in the stands, but these COVID restrictions have you sitting at home? Now is your chance to show support for your Cougars!! Place your picture on a poster that will be placed in our stands at athletic events. Click the link found HERE for your opportunity to show support for your favorite sports team!
Keep bringing your A-GAME!
