Knightly Update July 14, 2024

It's time!! Time to welcome the Knight community to a new school year and I cannot wait! The administrative team, teachers, support staff, and I are so excited to welcome all our new and returning students to the 2024-2025 school year. It is going to be a great year, and I am ready to get started.

To kick things off, the Class of 2025 has planned a special first week for everyone including an assembly on Friday, July 19th. Unlike previous years, this assembly will be held in our main gym as opposed to the football field. We look forward to celebrating the start of the year and I want to thank the members of the Class of 2025 for the the work they put forth preparing for the year.

With a new school year comes reminders about processes and procedures - everything from lunch assignments to vehicle traffic flow must be communicated. As a reminder, all procedures are in place with student safety being at the forefront of all policies enforced. One such process is student drop off, pick up and parking. With the majority of our students living outside our school boundaries, most students are transported to campus by their parents/guardians. We have systems in place to help families get to and from our school as quickly and efficiently as possible, and these directions are included below. With that said, there will be significant backups along the roads around and entering the campus as families learn routines the first few days of the year, so be prepared for commuting times to take much longer than typical. We encourage students to arrive early. Our cafeteria opens at 6:15 AM daily, so students have a place to go, eat and wait for the start of the day if dropped off early.

There is no after-school child care provided at the high school level, so please make sure arrangements are made to pick up your child at the end of the day. Once the year progresses, club meetings, athletic events/practices, and other extracurricular activities will provide opportunities for students to stay on campus, but as we begin the year, please understand that very limited after school options are available, so students will need to make plans to leave the campus.

For the first few days, I strongly recommend you consider dropping your child off early to avoid the congestion that will occur. Peak traffic begins around 6:50 and typically ends around 7:25, but during the first few days of the year, the window of congestion and back-ups will be extremely significant. Please know our cafeteria is open at 6:15 AM for students to congregate, eat and wait for the start of the day. Traffic always gets better as the year progresses, but for the first few days of the year, it will be extremely challenging. We will do all we can to help families enter and exit as quickly and efficiently as possible, but patience must be exercised by everyone as we work to get our students on campus in a safe and efficient manner. It is critical that ALL families follow established guidelines, including entering the property from Mustang or Brooks Farm Rd. and not the traffic signal by our stadium. As a reminder, drivers will be cited by Chandler Police if they stop or stand along Mustang and Brooks Farm Rd. to allow their child to exit the vehicle. Thank you for your help, patience and understanding as we work through the start of the year together.

Your child's teachers reported earlier this month and have been attending meetings, working in their classrooms, and getting ready for our students. The excitement they convey about the new year is palpable. We have an awesome faculty and staff, and they are looking forward to working with everyone throughout the year. We would appreciate students waiting to meet their teacher prior to requesting syllabi or other items to be emailed or provided. Our teachers are very busy preparing for the year and will distribute important information about their class throughout the first few days of the year. Your understanding is appreciated.

It is going to be a phenomenal year, and I am so glad you are joining us on this adventure. My office is always open, so if there are any questions I can answer, or if I can help in any way, please contact me. I look forward to seeing our students Wednesday morning. Let's get ready for a great year! Go, KNIGHTS!!

Our New Student Orientation will be held Monday, July 15th. Orientation will be from 8:00am to 2:15pm. There will not be a make-up orientation so we hope that all new students can attend the event.

There will be NO transportation available.

All new ACP students are welcome but not required to attend. Casual summer attire is fine but must be within appropriate school guidelines. Students may bring water if they would like, but most activities will be indoors. We are eager to meet all students new to ACP High School and look forward to having them on campus.

In the event a car is parked in your space, you may park in an open space and we will work to get everyone parked appropriately throughout the first few days of the year.

Your support is truly appreciated and makes a significant difference. We're eagerly looking forward to your ongoing support in the upcoming year!

Please support ACP's PTO! Donate to our Educational Advancement Fund!

What is The PREP PTO? The PREP PTO is the official parent/teacher organization of ACP High, dedicated to supporting our staff, students, and faculty. With school funds only covering so much, we work closely with the administration to identify and fund the school’s needs.

2024-2025 Goal Amount: $25,000

How will your donation make a difference? Your donation helps to shape the future of our school by ensuring that our students have access to the best opportunities and resources available.

What expenses will your donation cover?

● New Student Felicitation

● Back-to-School Events

● Classroom Resources

● Teacher Provisions

● Staff Awards

To help us continue our support, we ask families to consider making a Booster donation, as we do minimal fundraising throughout the year.

● $60 per student

● $90 per family (2 or more students attending ACPHS)

● Donations over $150 will receive an ACP Spirit T-shirt by the end of August

ACPHS will host our Meet the Teacher Night on Thursday, August 1 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Meet the Teacher Night gives families an opportunity to actually "run through" their child's schedule and meet each teacher. Please know Meet the Teacher is a structured event and not a drop in. Be sure to bring your child's schedule.

The purpose of the evening is for each of your child's teachers to give you a brief overview of the curriculum, review what your child will be studying, and the materials teachers and students will be using in order to achieve our academic goals.

There will not be a lot of time for individual questions, but parents or students may leave their phone numbers and email addresses, and our instructors will follow-up as appropriate. We hope to see you there!

ACP runs a traditional and block schedule throughout the school year. Traditional days take place on Monday, Tuesday and Friday and students attend all six of their classes on these days. Block days occur on Wednesday and Thursday, with students attending odd periods 1, 3, and 5 on Wednesday, and their even periods 2, 4, and 6 on Thursday. The traditional and block schedules are provided for your convenience.

If you are able to make your tax contributions early in the year, your donation would be greatly appreciated and give us a jump start on some of our essential extracurricular activities. We have set a goal to collect approximately $50.00 per family for a total of $57,500.00 and hope that you will be willing to help us meet our goal. Thank you for supporting your child and our school!

Tax Credit Basics…

A tax credit donation is a full refund, not a deduction. Contributions eligible for a tax credit are donated directly to schools, not to the state or school district. To participate or learn more, follow the link listed below to donate online or you can complete the enclosed form and submit your contribution at your convenience.
