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.
