Parents & Families

"There is a great deal of evidence that where family engagement is high, positive student outcomes follow. These include higher grades, higher test scores, improved self-efficacy, reduced risk-taking behavior, and increased college aspiration and enrollment. ACP recognizes the importance of family communication and engagement in our students' success." DPI

We communicate with parents and families about our students' academic and career plans.

Parents and families want their children to be successful. Here's a guide to know how you can help and what to expect from the school.

Once a week check grades in Skyward with your child. Remember the goal is for students to learn responsibility for their own grades.
Talk over your child's course selection with them. Don't make their schedule for them. A schedule should reflect the student's interests and abilities.
Know you can contact teachers and staff at any time through email. Click for a link to staff email listing.

Involvement at each grade level

This is the basic level of interaction with parents and guardians. Parents are also involved through activities, concerts, Facebook, athletic events, and classroom activities. Our goal is to have parents feel welcome in our building and being a part of their child's education.
