Middle School and High
School Students
and Parents, Please Note:
The administration reserves the right to approve certain
absences that are excused but “avoidable”. Absences such
as family trips, college days, attendance at special athletic
events by non-players, etc. MUST be pre-approved TWO
FULL DAYS IN ADVANCE by the administration and students MUST
contact teachers in advance in order to turn in work UPON
ARRIVAL to class the next time it meets. FAILURE to
fulfill these requirements will result in an unexcused absence,
which carries a two point deduction in the student’s grade at
the end of the 9 weeks’ period for each class missed.
Students with more than 10 absences in a semester may NOT
receive credit for the class. Pre-Approved Absence Forms
may be obtained in the main office on the little table to the
left of the door as you enter. This is the student’s
RESPONSIBILITY. Thanks!

Notice - Parking During Home Games: In recent
years we have had a number of complaints from residents in the
neighborhood across Wares Ferry Road from the school. It
seems that some football fans have been parking in or blocking
private drives with their cars when attending our home games.
This has naturally proven to be quite disturbing and frustrating
to residents. We ask you to help us be good neighbors by
parking only in legal spaces. Thanks in advance for your
cooperation.
ACA's Administration
ACA has been involved in the Box Tops for Education program
for several years. Thanks to your clipping them, we have earned
money for the library. Those dimes add up! Last year alone, we earned
several hundred dollars. Here are some ways we can earn even more.
1. Visit http://www.boxtops4education.com/
The 500,000 box tops promotion has a button at the bottom the page.
You can find other specials by clicking on Bonus Box Tops under
the "Earn" button at the top.
2. General Mills has special box tops attached to some of its products.
Each box top has a unique code that has to be entered online. Bonus
box tops vary according to how many General Mills products are purchased.
This contest ends Oct. 31, 2010.
Such awards are made through the Alabama State Department of Education and are for $1500 per year on a 3-year cycle of renewal. Students qualifying for this prestigious award must:
(2) have a G.P.A. of at least 3.50 and
(3) have an ACT score of 25 or higher.
Kara was also the valedictorian of her class while Marlan was a co-salutatorian. We at ACA are so proud of both of them and wish them well in their future pursuits at college.
This is the highest any golfer from ACA has ever finished. Will had the low round in 4A today and finished 3 strokes behind the state champion. He had a two day total of 145 and shot a low of 70 today! Congratulations to Will, his parents and Coach Paul Fisher!
