ACS desires to be a school that is safe for children, families, and staff members at all times. Our goal is to provide an orderly environment that fosters positive character and accountability and that values individuality by treating all members of the school community with dignity and respect.

Staff

We will work to correct safety hazards in a timely manner. We will conduct the business of education in a professional, ethical, and legal manner.
