• 7:30-8AM / Drop off begins in the EAST drive ...see maps below

• Do NOT drive through the Primary parking lot to get to the East drive.

• You may drop off in either lane, however if your child is sitting on the right side of the car, please drop off in the right lane....and if they are sitting on the left side, drop off in the left lane. This keeps everyone safe & students are not getting out in moving traffic. #safetyfirst

Please continue to partner with us & teach your Griffin

the "4 Pillars of ACA" . . .STRENGTH, COURAGE, WISDOM, & VIGILANCE. We firmly believe that everyone deserves a "healthy struggle" & that students learn by making mistakes. Help them learn from the obstacles they face now, to build resilience & perseverance for future challenges.#growthmindset #grit #simulnosfortes

You have FULL ACCESS to view everything in our library. Not only that, but you can see what your child has recently checked in and out. As a Griffin Tribe, we truly believe in the 3-Legged Stool and to offer complete transparency. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Jenni Huntley @ jennifer.huntley@acaedu.net

School report cards are now available @ https://www.acaedu.net/about-aca/tea-reports-and-cips/tea-school-report-cards

• The school report card (SRC) combines accountability ratings, data from the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), and financial information to give a broad view of campus performance.
• SRC's may be viewed online or a printed copy can be picked up in the Intermediate front office foyer.
• SRC's are available for each campus in Texas, the SRC is intended specifically to inform parents and guardians about a school’s individual characteristics and its academic performance.
• As a resource, you may use the glossaries to assist you with information in the report cards. ENGLISH / SPANISH
• For more information and details on these TEA School Report Cards, please visit TEA's website here.

We teach & highly encourage all Griffins to "report" to an adult (at school or home) when someone is being hurt on purpose. Please help your child learn the skill of self advocating and "reporting" to help take care of one another and create a safe environment for our students.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our Griffins safe!
