ACOVSD Closed Friday, January 10, 2025
WIth the morning wind chill projections and the looming afternoon forecast we were facing a delay to begin the day and potentially an unplanned early dismissal. Our fears were that doing both, in one day, would cause mass confusion. Many of our bus routes are good just not enough of our routes are good 'enough' to get most of our students to school.
The principals were proactive when they issued an invitation to get Chromebooks, IN CASE, we have to use our 6th calamity day Monday. Students do not need them until the 6th calamity day. If you cannot make the times announced PLEASE email or call your building as our teams will do what they can work with you. Also know if you have internet and a device your child can access Google Classroom on any device it does not have to be on a school chromebook, we prefer students use ours, but we understand if parents can't get in to pick one up. HOWEVER, we DO have chromebooks specifically for your child if you need it, and are able to get to the school.
Take care, stay safe and keep warm. (and don't forget those snowmen/women )
Mrs. Wallace
With so many not able to get out it may be a good time to:
Double check your final forms early dismissal routines and go over them with your student.(this does not indicate a decision for Friday we are still gathering data)
Walk your student through their progress book grades - Grade cards come home soon.
Double check the requirements for the CTC if your child is in the 8th, 9th or 10th grade. Space will be limited and credit deficits will matter. Failing courses will matter during the application process.
Thank you for your dedication and hard work to get the snow cleared for our staff and students. These people were out in the bitter cold doing some of the toughest, most grueling work imaginable. For our custodians this wasn't just about dusting off a few sidewalks—parking lot snow removal crews in some cases left massive piles of snow in areas that you then had to clear.
It was back-breaking, exhausting work, and you did it without hesitation. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are truly appreciated more than words can express!
We have more snow on the way (according to the forecast) Stay Tuned, and STAY SAFE.
