Working together, ACS students and teachers navigated through the uncharted waters of remote learning this week, which will continue through March 31 and perhaps longer if the state-mandated school closure is extended. 

“We’re so grateful for the support and encouragement that our school families have been sending to our teachers and administrators,” said Elementary Principal and Early Ed Director Gail Alford. “And we love seeing the photos of our students diligently working on their schoolwork at home.”   

Alford and Upper School Principal Meg McHale sent parents and guardians an email today asking them to complete an online survey to gather feedback on the remote learning platform.  “We’re looking to make changes and adjustments as necessary to have this new method of instruction be as effective and successful as possible,” Alford said.

While teachers remained at home and conducted classes using platforms such as Google Classroom and Zoom, administration and facilities staff worked on various projects at the school campus. Each workday began with devotions and prayer for our school families, our local community and churches, and government leaders at the local, state, and federal level.
