What is the arrival policy?
A school day begins at 8:40 a.m. Elementary students may
begin arriving at 8:30 a.m. Teachers will not receive
students prior to 8:30 a.m. as they use this time for
preparation. Students arriving after 8:45 a.m. are
considered tardy.
What is the dismissal policy?
Half-day Kindergarten students are dismissed promptly at
1:15 p.m. All other elementary school students are
dismissed at 3:20 p.m. Half-day Kindergarten students
picked-up after 1:30 p.m. will be charged a $1.00 per
minute late fee. All other elementary students picked-up
after 3:35 p.m. will be charged a $1.00 per minute late
charge.
What is ACA's attendance policy?
Consistent attendance is very important to academic
progress. Personal days and vacations are not excused
absences. If a child is picked up before 12:00 p.m.,
they will be counted as absent for the day.
In case of absence, the parent must write a dated note
to the teacher explaining the reason for the absence.
This note must be sent the day a student returns to
school. There are no excused absences except for student
illness, death in the immediate family, or medical and
dental appointments.
Class work and assignments missed due to an excused
absence or early check-out must be made up in a timely
fashion.
Family vacations and trips should be scheduled during
school vacations since it is often difficult for a child
to make up work missed during an absence. Should it be
necessary for a student to miss school for personal
reasons, please procure permission from the
administration several days in advance.
Any student with 21 un-excused absences over the
course of the year will be required to repeat the grade.
