Blackboard Ultra Orientation Due by January 1st for ACCA ATC Dual Enrollment Students
If you are in dual enrollment classes this semester or next semester at ACCA with Athens Technical College, it's important to know that Blackboard will have a different look in January. Everything about Blackboard from the way you access assignments to the way you view your grades will be changing. To make sure you are ready for your spring classes, please complete the NEW Blackboard Orientation by going to this link: https://tcsg.softchalkcloud.com/lesson/serve/7c1IoxUOiTEkAz/html.
As an added bonus of completing this orientation, you will have part of your first assignment in all of your spring classes completed. All classes in the spring will require students to complete this orientation, and your instructor will be able to see which students have or have not completed the new orientation. So please set aside 15 minutes of quiet time to complete the orientation and feel confident this spring as you navigate the new Blackboard Ultra platform.

ACCA Lunch
* Lunch is provided at ACCA for only FULL DAY students from 11:30 - 11:45 am MTThF (12:00 - 12:15 pm on Wednesdays) in the ACCA lobby.
* ACCA full day students no longer need to sign up for lunch each day.

ACCA Lanyards
ACCA students are required to wear their ACCA lanyards and ID badges while on the ACCA campus. If students forget their lanyards, they will be given a temporary ACCA sticker for the day. This helps us ensure that each student transitions into and off our campus in the most efficient way possible and increases the security in our facility.
Parking at ACCA
ACCA currently does not require a parking pass to park on our campus. Students are allowed to park in any available spaces (other than reserved) in the ACCA parking lot as well as any parallel spots on the Dearing Extension in front of the building (please park in the direction of traffic to avoid a parking ticket). Please do not park in any of the surrounding businesses near ACCA or the Early Learning Center parking lot.

When Class is in Session, Put the Phones Away
CCSD is implementing updated cell phone guidelines for the 2024-25 school year to improve student engagement, decrease distractions, and improve the overall educational experience in our classrooms.
As a reminder, high school students will be asked to either keep their phones in their backpacks or place them in pouches inside their classrooms.
ACCA Attendance
If a student is absent from class and has an excuse note from a doctor or a parent/guardian, please email it to Ms. Whitney Lowe at accainfo@clarke.k12.ga.us (or drop it off with her at the front desk) so their absence can be excused in Campus.
