𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮 ACHS Senior Alli Nelson has been accepted to a handful of schools, including The University of Central Missouri. Alli is not certain what she wants to do after her high school graduation, but she plans to continue her employment at Walmart for the time being. Alli ultimately would like to pursue her passion for baking and we've had the great pleasure of sampling many of her treats here at ACHS. We're proud to have you as a bulldog, Alli, and we know your future will be sweet.

will be held on April 4th.
Call the Elementary Office for an appointment!

If your child will be 5 before August 1st,
now is the time to begin thinking about Kindergarten enrollment requirements.
The following items are required for enrollment:
immunization records, state issued birth certificate, social security card and proof of residence.
Did you know that your child can receive the immunizations that are needed to attend Kindergarten
anytime on or after his/her fourth birthday? You do not need to wait until age five.
We encourage you to have your child fully immunized now
and bring the immunization record to school on the day of Kindergarten screening.
If you have questions regarding required immunizations,
please feel free to contact Nikki Piepmeier, School Nurse, at 660-476-2161, option #7.


Arrrrrr you ready? Wednesday evening, March 6th, join us for an adventurous night full of reading and writing activities at the Title I Pirate Family Literacy Night. We will begin serving dinner at 5:45. Activities will be in the Elementary Gym.

For those who would like to watch the game tonight via streaming, it is available at the following link: https://www.mshsaa.tv/?B=997836
The purchase price is $10.00. Any links from sources other than MSHSAA TV are spam. Excited for the game tonight! Go (AC) Bulldogs!

A little pre-game breakfast cooked by the cafeteria and admin for these girls this morning! There's a lot of school spirit on campus here today!


Details for tonight's HOME game vs. Liberal:
AC will be the home team and will wear white uniforms. Liberal will be the road team and wear dark uniforms. The gates will open at 5:00PM! Bus parking will be in front of the commons area on the south side of the school. Public parking and entrance will be in the back of the school leading into the gym. Teams are not allowed to be on the floor shooting until 5:30PM! AC fans will occupy the north side of the bleachers and Liberal fans the south side. Student sections are allowed, just a reminder though MSHSAA doesn't allow for the students to be standing on the front row of the court.
It's going to be a packed gym this evening. Due to being at capacity for tonight's games, we ask that NO bleacher chairs be brought in. It is going to be a packed gym and we would like to allow as much room as possible for people to sit. If needed, overflow parking is available on the Northwest corner of 4th Street (across the road from the school behind the Bulldog Pride sign).
As for additional tickets, we are hopeful there will be a few open up at Noon via the ordering link.
