Daily attendance and punctuality are directly related to school success. The days immediately prior to and after holidays are important. Please do not ask to extend vacations. Parents, we urge you to schedule vacations, medical, personal, and dental appointments for ACDS students after school hours. All school absences require a hand written note of explanation, signed and dated by parents.
