February Principals' Message
Dear ACPA Caregivers,
What an exciting and eventful Term 3 it has been so far! We've had some phenomenal events with more to come, and I hope you've been able to see or hear about them from your students. The energy and enthusiasm from our school community have been remarkable.
As we find ourselves halfway through the term, I encourage you to check your student’s progress on PowerSchool. Now is a great time to have conversations with your student(s) about how they're feeling academically and socially. Are they on track with their goals? How can we all work together to support their continued success?
In such a busy and complex world, I also want to highlight the importance of staying engaged with your child's school life. A few conversation starters could include:
- What POD are you in this semester? Are you happy with your choice?
- What are your math goals, and how are you doing with ALEKS?
Thank you for being such an essential part of the ACPA Community. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at our annual Black History Month Showcase & Open House on Friday, February 21st at 5:30pm!
All the best,
Aaron Wagner & Catherine McMillin

Attendance Reminder
Hello ACPA families! This is a reminder that if your student arrives to school after 8:55 without a valid excuse, each minute missed counts as unexcused. After 72 hours of unexcused absences, Ohio law states a student is considered truant.
Your student's attendance is vital to their academic success, and even just a few minutes of consistently being late adds up. Please help ensure your child is arriving to school before 8:55AM each day. As always, if you need support please don't hesitate to reach out to us by phone (614-986-9974) or email (silver@artcollegeprep.org). Thank you for working with us to help your child thrive!
