After driving routes this morning, roads are good in most areas so we will be in session today. Gravel roads may still have some slick spots, especially in the hilly part of the Taberville area. If a bus is not able to get down your gravel road in that area, you can meet the bus at the fire house. Temperatures are expected to stay above freezing today, so the commute home should be fine. Take it slow and steady getting to school today. If you have any issues, please let the offices know.

Courtwarming shirts are available for order using the link below. Order yours today! https://www.storessimple.com/ruralroots/getprod.php?prod_id=381792&prodgroup_id=27822

Due to being out of school on Tuesday, we will be having the previously planned Tuesday menu on Thursday. Thursday, January 18th Menu Choice 1: Sloppy Joe Choice 2: Hot ham & cheese croissant Sides: Baked Beans, Carrots, Fruit and Milk

After returning from driving routes this evening, AC schools plans to be IN session tomorrow, January 17th. Though there is still snow on some roads, our buses should be able to navigate them in the morning without issue. That being said, please allow a little extra time for buses to run routes tomorrow morning as they may travel a little slower. Our bus company has worked hard over the last 2 days to get our buses up and running, despite the extremely cold temperatures. Thank you to them for working hard in the cold weather to get us up and running! Can't wait to see all you Bulldogs in the morning. We've missed you!

School will not be in session on Tuesday, January 16th due to dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills. This will be a traditional snow day and NOT an AMI Day. Stay safe and warm, Bulldogs! Can't wait to see you Wednesday! We've missed you!

Save the date! Come listen to District updates, get a campus tour, and listen to presentations from our talented group of FCCLA students! Refreshments and snack provided. 6:00-8:00 pm in the HS Commons.

The AC Tournament games scheduled for tonight and tomorrow have been cancelled. Unfortunately, due to the weather's lack of cooperation and scheduling conflicts, we will not be able to make-up these games and are cancelling the rest of the tournament. We are looking at adding additional games to our schedule and will keep you updated as games are added.

𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮 Congratulations to ACHS Senior Landon Oehring on his acceptance to OTC in Springfield and MO S&T in Rolla. Landon is planning to study heating, ventilation, and air conditioning after his high school graduation in May. Congratulations, Landon! #rootedmissouri #rootedmo

While I was hopeful we could be in session today, the freezing drizzle that has formed over the last 30 minutes has led to damp roads. With falling temps, the potential for ice has increased. AC Schools will not be in session today. This will be AMI day #2.

Meet the newest addition to the AC Bulldogs team! We are excited to welcome our new PRESCHOOL teacher, Miss Grace Parrott! Miss Parrott has been working hard getting her classroom ready and we can't wait to meet our new Little Bulldogs! Open House is tonight at 6:00 pm for students that will be attending and have returned materials. Please come by and meet Miss Parrott this evening. The preschool will be located in the old Head Start trailer behind the school. Preschool parents may use the West door for pick up and drop off. We're so excited to be starting our preschool program and to have Miss Parrott on board! We do still have a couple of slots open if you are interested in enrolling.
