A message from Interim Principal Kirsten Sola
Hello Acres Green community! I’m excited to have the privilege of being your Interim Principal. My first teaching position was at Acres Green almost 20 years ago, and I love this wonderful community. I’m looking forward to getting to know you all very soon. Please feel free to reach out any time - I’m here to support you and our students! kasola@dcsdk12.org
**NEW for the 24/25 School Year - PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION**
School Supply Drop Off
Tuesday, August 6th
4:00pm-5:30pm
Grades K-6
Please join us the day before school starts to drop off your school supplies, see the classroom, meet the teacher, and get a popsicle on the playground.
Come by any time between 4:00pm and 5:30pm. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
School supply lists can be found HERE.
You can request help with purchasing school supplies by filling out the form HERE as soon as possible.
First Day of School
Wednesday, August 7th
Grades 1-6
For the first day of school, teachers will meet their students on the field by the playground between 8:20 and 8:35 (as a reminder, students may not be on campus before 8:20 unless they are attending BASE).
Between 8:35 and 8:40, teachers will walk students in for the first day of school.
For kids who ride the bus or are attending BASE, we’ll bring them to meet their class on the field.
Back-to-School Night
Wednesday, August 21st
Classroom Sessions 5:30 - 6:00 and 6:00-6:30
Grades K-6
Please join us for Back to School Night on Wednesday, August 21st. This is a time for you to hear important information from your child’s teacher.
There will be two sessions: 5:30-6:00 and 6:00-6:30. You can attend either session, or if you have students in different grade levels, you can go to one grade level at 5:30 and another at 6:00.
Kindergarten Information
The beginning of the year is different for Kindergarten than other grade levels. Douglas County uses a process called Balanced Beginnings to make sure students are set up for success. You can still drop off school supplies on August 6th and meet both Kindergarten teachers, but school does NOT start on August 7th for Kindergarteners.
You will receive a Signup Genius link to make an appointment for your child to meet with the Kindergarten teachers during our Balanced Beginnings sessions. These sessions will take place Aug. 7 - 9 during the school day. You will be informed of your student’s teacher after all sessions have been completed.
Your Kindergartener’s first day will be Monday, Aug. 12. Their teacher will meet them outside by the flag pole for this first day.
Please look for more information coming soon about Balanced Beginnings.
Yearbook pick up
July 29 - Aug. 6
8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
You will be able to pick up last year's yearbooks during this time. If you have not purchased a yearbook already, they are $25 each. We can only accept cash or check (made out to Acres Green PTO). Any prepaid yearbooks not picked up before the first day of school will be sent home with your student the first week of school.
Thank you! We’re looking forward to a wonderful school year!
