Attention ACS Families: It’s flu shot season! Through our partnership with the McMinn County Health Department, flu shots will be available during the school day for students (with parent/guardian consent) throughout the month of October. Sign up easily using the following link: https://redcap.link/Southeast_TN_School_Flu_2025 or the QR code provided.

Did you know that being tardy for school can also impact a child's daily routine and attendance? Arriving at school on time every day is important, start the day with a healthy breakfast and ready to learn.

Bus safety is so important. Please watch for school buses on the road ways. Be prepared to stop when you see the stop sign out and flashing lights on. Let's keep our students and drivers safe as they travel on the roads to and from the school. #ExcellenceIsACS

Attendance is important but sometimes there are barriers that students and families are facing. ACS is here to help families.

Mrs. Faires Hester was recognized at the TSBA Southeast Fall District meeting this evening as the recipient of the School Volunteer Award. She has served as a volunteer, PTO officer, and active family engagement member for many years. Her dedication, support, and commitment is so appreciated. Congratulations Faires on this well deserved award! #ExcellenceIsACS

Attendance Matters every day for every child! Absences add up quickly, when a student misses 2 days a month and the impact it can have on their academics.

Happy Grandparent's Day from ACS!!
