ACS CSH and School Nutrition are teaming up to share some helpful info each month. The month of August we are focusing on the benefits of eating Melons. Melons have high high water content, low in calories and provide excellent source of Vitamins A and C.
Did you know? One of the most common types of melons is the muskmelon, or cantaloupe. Other melons include the watermelon, honeydew, and canary. Its a great time of year to enjoy a delicious slice of melon.

The Tennessee Academic Standards are the grade or course-level expectations for what students should know and be able to do. The State Board of Education is charged under Tennessee statute (T.C.A. § 49-1-311-313) and State Board Policy (Standards Review Policy 3.209) to review and approve the English Language Arts (ELA), math, science, and social studies standards at least every eight years.
The first step in the review process is a survey open to all Tennesseans across the state. The State Board appreciates your interest in the ELA standards and welcomes your input. The surveys below will be open from August 12th, 2024, to September 8th, 2024.
To learn more about the standards review process, check out the State Board’s Standards Review Webpage.

If you have questions, please email TNStandards.Review@tn.gov.


All ACS students will be able to receive NO Cost breakfast and lunch during the 2024-2025 School Year. Encourage your child to start the day with a healthy breakfast at school. Please visit our website to view the daily breakfast and lunch menu for August.
