ACS Update from Mr. Talbert

Dear Aviators,

I hope each of you are doing well and are doing everything you can do to stay safe during this unprecedented time.  We’ve made it through two weeks of remote learning with very few hiccups, if any, and now we are ready to share our plan for the next four weeks.  Please remember even though we are working remotely, our school calendar is still in effect. This means we will be on Spring Break beginning April 9th through April 13th.  During this break, you will be able to continue working online but teachers and support staff will not be available to assist during regular working hours.  Our meal services will also stop during our Spring Break. We have developed a plan to provide meals for the days we are closed which will be detailed below.

Meal Plans for the Next Four Weeks

We will continue to serve meals at the same locations we have been through the remainder of the schools closing.  The plan to cover Spring Break is to provide meals for April 9th and 10th on April 8th.  No meals will be provided for Monday, April 13th.  As always, menus can be found on our website and app. Menus are subject to change without notice.

In closing, we thank you for everything you’ve done to support the continuation of your child’s educational programming during this time.  We are asking you to continue to bear with us as we adapt our structure to this new model. As always please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions or concerns. Remember to stay at home, stay safe, and Keep Reppin' That A.

Sincerely,

Jeffery S. Talbert
