Safety
Safety is our number one priority at Acacia. We are asking all of our families and students to only use our designated entrance and exit gates for arrival and dismissal from school. The designated entrance and exit gates include the main Dorothy gate near the Kindergarten playground, and the gates that open to the parking lot. Please do not use our emergency gates that open to the field. We appreciate your support as we strive to keep our students safe.
Champions for Children
The Champions for Children Block Party is coming up on Saturday, November 16th, from 9 AM to 1 PM. Join us for informative sessions, activities, and a chance for students to make up for an absence.
