Given the high rate of the Covid virus locally, ACS is choosing to move to all remote instruction for the 2-week period beginning 11/3 and continuing through 11/13.

Monday, 11/2/20 remains a Parent/Teacher conference day, and students were already scheduled for elearning.

As we study the rate trends within the county, additional information will be forthcoming.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we have worked (and continue to work) through this ever-changing and complex situation.]]></description>
