We want to thank our city public works department and our maintenance and operations department for their hard work in getting our roadways, parking lots and sidewalks cleared and treated during this most recent winter event.
Please be cautious in your travels to and from school. Travel only when and where you feel it is safe. Allow extra time, be aware of patches that may have a higher tendency to freeze overnight, bridges and overpasses, and any areas with standing water.


FYI- Tonight's ACIS basketball game vs Waterville has been moved to Waterville Elementary. Girls at 6:00. Boys at 7:00.

Due to the change in the game for tonight, K-Kids will be collecting Stuffed Animals at the home game on Thursday, January 16th and Monday, January 20th. Students are also able to donate at school this week in the boxes in the gym.
