No school on January 20th and 21st

Our Rikert ski days have been scheduled for Tuesdays, January 28th, February 4th, February 11th.

You will find further information about the trip here. Please complete the form and return it by Friday January 24, 2025. We will send a hard copy home on Wednesday.

Please note that report cards will be sent home in students’ backpacks on January 31st. Parents should anticipate a phone call from their child’s teacher shortly thereafter. The purpose of this phone call is to follow up on students’ first semester progress reports and see if families have any questions. Thank you.

• Do you have a 3-5 year old ready for preschool? Every preschool age child in ACSD is eligible for 10 FREE hours of preschool at a pre-qualified preschool program and NOW* is the time to begin thinking ahead to the 2025-26 school year. Visit https://mbaker61.wixsite.com/uprek/partners for a list of preschools and more information. Reach out to Ashley Bessette, Universal Prek Coordinator, at abessette@acsdvt.org for support or to ask questions.
  *Most preschool programs will begin enrolling in February/March for the 2025-26 school year.

Do you have a child who plans to start Kindergarten in 2025-2026? Make sure they are on our incoming student list! If your child will be 5 years old by September 1, 2025 (or you know a friend or neighbor whose child will be) please reach out to our front office at 802-388-2208

As the temperatures drop, please keep in mind:

We are expecting students to have on a coat, snow pants, hat, mittens and boots in order to play in the snow. On days that the "feels like temperature" falls below 0 degrees we are inside for recess.

T-shirts, shorts, crocs or sandals can be worn on their own outside (meaning no additional layers required) when the temperature is 40 + degrees

Long sleeves are ok to be worn on their own outside when the temperature is 39-32 degrees but it’s time to pack up the crocs & sandals!

Coats, hats, gloves & boots are required for temperatures under 32 degrees

• Water bottle
  

• A daily snack

• Sneakers on Tuesday & Friday PE days!

If you are looking to get winter gear for your student(s) please contact Haysal Jones hjones@acsdvt.org or Tammie Johnson tammiejohnson@acsdvt.org
