ACP Family Newsletter

Autumn is here and hopefully cooler weather is soon to follow. As our staff and students are enjoying Fall Break, we have a few updates for you. In this newsletter, there are some classroom updates and student shout-outs. Our next Possip Pulse check will be sent via email/text on October 18th. Please take a moment and complete this quick survey as it helps us know the needs/thoughts of our parents.

Upcoming student events

• October 26th from 8-10pm - Autumn Backyard Dance at ACP - join us in the courtyard for a fun, free event for our students. Students can purchase drinks/snacks from the school store but outside food/drink will not be allowed. We will have music, dancing, and a night under the stars.

Congratulations to our Block 1 Students of the Block: Lailah B, Sydney, Eli'jah, Rudy, Jordan G, Cosmo, Hailey Y, and Lotus.

Come out and support the Lions! We have 7 wins and 5 losses so far this season. Only 3 more games before playoffs to cheer the Lions to victory! Come enjoy the cooler weather and support our team. The flag football schedule is posted on our website at https://acparizona.org/activities/. We'd love to have you join us.

Our school launched Anonymous Alerts this month. This allows our students to report bullying and safety concerns to school staff in an anonymous way. More information is on our website at https://acparizona.org/anonymous-alerts/.

In addition to launching this program, we have also installed more cameras over the summer. The safety window film has been installed and in a couple of weeks a door buzzer system will be activated to make sure our school is secure.

Graduation is May 24th. A graduation fee of $100 needs to be paid by May 3rd to the front office. There are fundraising opportunities available. The fee covers:

• Cap and Gown
• Diploma and Cover
• Senior activity
• Senior breakfast or luncheon

Remember that each year there is an AZ tax credit of $200 for individuals and $400 for families when you donate to a school. This means that if you give a donation of that amount to the school (with receipt) you get that as a tax credit back on your AZ state taxes. Business/Corporate donations can be up to $800.These donations are used to help our sports and other extracurricular activities. Please talk to Betty at the front office if you'd like to make a donation. For more information, you can go to https://azdor.gov/tax-credits/public-school-tax-credit
