AC3's and Pre-K school students and their parents meet their teacher as well as look at the classroom and find your cubby. Feel free to bring your labeled school supplies with you on this day. You're welcome to come anytime between 8:30-10.
Happy first day of school. Parents, please plan on extra time for drop-off and pick-up as it always a little more busy on the first couple days of school.
14 colleges and universities will visit AC as part of the College Admissions in the Rochester Area (CARA) College Fair. Upper School students will attend the College Fair to learn about the various college options in the Rochester area.
This will be a dress down day. Every AC student in grades K-12 will be assigned to the Blue Team or the White Team and should dress in their team color that day. (Team color assignments will be shared with families closer to Homecoming Weekend.) Students in grades 1-12 will then enjoy a fun-filled field day, and our Little School, AC3s, and Pre-Kindergarten students will come out and cheer on both the blue and white teams! Please be sure students wear sneakers on this day.
Join us for a fun-filled day with HAC soccer and volleyball games, bounce houses, pumpkin painting, raffles, delicious food trucks, and family photos courtesy of the AC Alumni Association. Wristbands ($5) for unlimited activities and raffle tickets are available for purchase in advance or at the event.
(Formerly Parent Night) After a short welcome at 6:00 p.m. in the Dining Commons, teachers will be in their classrooms and available to tell you more about our program and their curriculum.
