Dear ACA Community,
It’s hard to believe that the first month of school is nearly over! The ACA Staff has really been going above and beyond to get curriculum ordered, schedules adjusted, classes rolling, and meetings set up. Our model is unique and involves more work and coordinating than a traditional school. Our staff is so generous with their time and talents!
Our K-5 students are getting access to a really fun learning tool thanks to our Early Literacy Grant. Your student’s ES can set you up with a login to Literacy Planet for free! Literacy Planet is a research and evidence-aligned literacy program that combines great storytelling with the psychology of gameplay to create a learning experience that students love!
Monday morning, in celebration of National Coffee Day, families and staff are invited to a special coffee tasting from Beadlock Coffee Co, an ACA family owned and operated company. It really is delicious coffee! We’ll see you in the cafeteria between 9:00 and 11:00!
Don't forget that Trunk-or-Treat is coming up in about a month! We could really use more people to sign up for trunks, as well as a couple people who could help with making and delivering popcorn. Take a look at our SignUp Genius HERE
There is still time to participate in Oregon City Together’s annual Halloween poster contest. The deadline for entry is October 17th. Click the link for more information! OCT's Annual Halloween Harvest Poster Celebration! Free poster paper and markers for the contest are available in Ms. Snyder’s office.
We are looking for just a few more volunteers to support School Portrait Days on October 15 and 16. To make the process run smoothly, we need some parent volunteers to help manage student sign-ins. We only have one volunteer (out of six needed) for October 16. Please sign up at the LINK here.
Remember, Pizza Thursdays begin on October 3rd! Pizza Pre-Orders can be made at the following link as well as in person at the PTO desk. Order cutoff for the first week is Tuesday, October 1, at 4:00pm PIZZA ORDERS
Another chance to volunteer is to help at PTO’s Food and Coffee Corner, especially on Monday and Wednesday. Please stop by the Coffee Corner to sign up for a shift so we can keep it open for the ACA community. Here's an idea of what shifts we are looking to fill: COFFEE CORNER SIGN UP And remember to bring your own paper plates and utensils from home for lunch. The PTO does not supply those.
Gentle Rule Reminder(s): Parents, or parent designees, of students grade K-5 must be ON SITE with their students at all times. The responsible adult must be at least 18 years old. This policy is not negotiable. If you know of a student who is on site without an adult, please notify the office immediately.
Our next Enrollment Information Meeting will be held on October 8th at 6:00pm on campus. If you know of anyone interested in joining ACA mid-year, please share this LINK to register for the meeting and share the attached flier on your social media.
Remember to check the calendar on our website often! AllianceCharterAcademy.org
Thank you for being part of the ACA family, and have a wonderful weekend!
Go Eagles,
Shelly Smith
24-25 Executive Director
