Hello ACE families,

I hope this term is going well for you! As we head into the third week of this cycle, we have a lot of events to keep track of. See all the notes in this week’s newsletter, and let me know if you have any questions!

Hello ACE families,

Term 3 is off and running! Remember to complete the state assessment sign up if your child is in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 11th grade. English Language Arts (ELA) testing is April 28-29. Math testing is May 26-27. Science testing is only for 5, 8, & 11th grades. Testing can be combined if you’re going to be gone one of these weeks, or if you need alternate dates, please let me know. Remember the state assessments provide schools with valuable information showing academic growth and areas we need to improve our curriculum. State testing allows us the opportunity to continue to provide the services and funds we benefit from via our state and district. Thank you for your help in making sure we complete our school’s requirements. If you didn’t get your testing link last week, please let me know.

In addition, the next break week will include the Spring Recital, STEAM Fair, and Academy Ball on Friday, May 1, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the gym. For Recital participants, the required dress rehearsal is Thursday, April 30, 2 p.m. STEAM Fair set up is also at the same time (2-4 p.m.).

A flyer is attached to the weekly HLAs with additional information about these events (entrance/check in, schedule, and dress code). You can access the flyer here as well: drive.google.com/file/d/1XpHCoyikJM6WTJ5ljn7ke---WkdLtREz/view?usp=sharing

We would love more volunteers (parents and older students) to assist with the Academy Ball décor. Please email Mrs.Campbell@ACEClassicalEd.org if you are available to help with set up or tear down for this event.

Hello ACE families,

Welcome to spring term! As usual, this is a busy and exciting time in our school year. During the next break week, we have our first round of state assessments planned (3-8 & 11th grade only). Scheduling links will be sent out from FA.Admin@aceclassicaled.org on Wednesday, April 8 to sign up for the time that best fits your schedule.

In addition, the next break week will include the Spring Recital, STEAM Fair, and Academy Ball on Friday, May 1, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the gym.

A flyer is attached with additional information about these events (entrance/check in, schedule, and dress code). Also, we always need extra volunteers to assist with the Academy Ball decor. Please email Mrs.Campbell@ACEClassicalEd.org if you are available to help with set up or tear down for this event.

Hello ACE families,

Due to spring break, there will not be 4th Week Homework Club next week. Academic Deans will be finalizing Term 2 report cards over the break, so make sure you get any missing work to your teachers as soon as possible (check w/ them for their deadline). Term 3 begins April 7.

Pre-Registration for next year has begun. To hold your place, please complete the registration link sent to your ACE email account. If you didn’t receive your registration link, let me know so that can be re-sent.

St. Patrick’s Day is Tuesday, March 17. Students may wear green accessories with their regular Tuesday uniform (sorry, no pinching students not wearing green!).

Hello ACE families,

Registration for the 2026-2027 school year has begun! Currently enrolled families will receive an email from Mrs.Morris@ACEClassicalEd.org with the link to update your child’s registration form. Updating enrollment for the next school year is a quick process. If you are enrolling a sibling, the link to that enrollment form is also included in your email. If you don’t receive the registration link to your ACE email account, check your junk/spam folder. Let me know if you still can’t locate it, so this can be re-sent. ACE pre-registration to the general public begins at the end of this month, so securing your class spot now is very helpful in our planning stages for next year.

Hello ACE families,

Can you believe we are already in March, and it’s Week 19!! This month Grammar D and up students should be focusing on passing their multiplication tests, so we can celebrate with our schoolwide pizza party! Also, each Grammar C – Rhetoric student that meets their class typing goal earns a t-shirt reward, which they get to wear on Tuesday, June 2/Week 28. Check with your AD if you have questions about the multiplication and/or typing requirements.

Typing goals:
Grammar C & D- 15 wpm
D1 & D2- 30 wpm
D3 & Rh- 40 wpm

Hello ACE families,

The students had great Valentine’s parties last week! A big thank you for the classroom party treats and extra help. We appreciate you!

Hello ACE families,

On Thursday, February 12 we’ll hold our Valentine’s parties. Academic Deans will let each class know what time their party will be held. We could use volunteers in the classrooms, as well as healthy goodies for the party. Students are welcome to bring Valentine’s to pass out. Please bring a lunch on party day as usual and connect with your Academic Dean for party details.

Hello ACE families,

It’s Week 16, which means we just finished the first half of the school year. Wow, that flew by! Be prepared for a busy and productive second half- we’ve got a lot planned!

Hello ACE families,

We are heading into our third week/break week of this month’s school cycle. We’ve got a few things coming up, so read on…

Hello ACE families,

We so appreciate our partnership with our families! ACE is unique in that we only have the opportunity to work with your students 30% (K-8) or 45% (9-12) of the days they are schooling each week. During the time on campus, our primary role is to teach new concepts and information. This means that the rest of your child’s education- the practice of concepts, the reviewing and correcting of mistakes- is done at home, under parent/guardian watch. Regarding this topic, Mrs. Hinkle sent out a thorough review of math grading policies yesterday. Kindly take a look and reach out if you have any questions. We’re all invested in your child’s success. Go team ACE!

Hello ACE families,

Welcome to winter term! I hope you had a lovely and restful holiday and are excited to be back to school tomorrow, January 6.

Hello ACE families,

This week we will finish out Term 1 by completing assignments up through Week 11. Teachers will enter grades and Academic Deans will compile report cards during the winter break, so please get all late assignments in ASAP. Plus, who wants to deal with missing work over the holidays? Best to get it done now so you can thoroughly enjoy the break! We will begin Term 2 on January 6, 2026.

Hello ACE families,

This term is winding down! Week 11 is unique as it will provide the final HLAs to be completed for Term 1 grades. Week 12 work (with the exception of some math) will not be due until Term 2/January 6, after the winter break.

Hello ACE families,

It’s finally here- the last month of Term 1. It’s going to be a festive and full month!

Hello ACE families,

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! You will notice on the HLAs this week that teachers have adjusted the workload to allow students additional time for family activities during the upcoming holiday. Also, due to the Thanksgiving holiday, there will be no 4th Week Homework Club next Tuesday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello ACE families,

As a reminder, school will be closed on Tuesday, November 11 for Veterans Day. Students will not need to complete the in-class work from Tuesday. Instead, please use the day to do regular HLAs or complete missing work.

Hello ACE families,

I hope you had a nice break week and are ready for Week 7. Can you believe it- We are already halfway through the fall term!

Hello ACE families,

We are going into the third week of the ACE cycle and heading into break week/off campus week. Break week will include 4th Week Homework Club. If you need some help getting caught up on assignments this month, 4th Week Homework Club is an excellent time to get teacher support and wrap up some late work. Grammar C-Dialectic 4 students have Homework Club from 9 a.m. – 12 noon. Rhetoric students have Homework Club from 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (Rh-bring a lunch). Check with your ADs if you have questions.

Hello ACE families,


We are in the middle of the 3-week cycle. I trust you are finding a rhythm and schedule that is working well for your family. Are you getting the hang of the QR codes and audio files? Keep me posted!

Hello ACE families,

I hope you are off to a great start this week after a refreshing and relaxing break week! You may have gotten your work done the first week or you may be wrapping up some assignments today. Whichever way you decided to go, good job for completing tasks and starting out Week 4 on top of things! The beauty of ACE is the built-in flexibility you have when deciding each week when to get the work done based on your unique schedule! If you’d like a little encouragement on your hybrid school journey, check out this article: inhonorofdesign.com/2018/01/family-update-hybrid-model-schooling/ What the authors say about an adjustment period is very true! It takes a while to get a system together when doing school at home with your kiddos. Give yourself time to figure it out and let us know if we can help!

Hello ACE families,


It’s officially Break Week/4th Week! This means there are no classes or newly assigned HLAs this week. Instead, you have two weeks to complete the Week 3 assignments, to catch up on missing work from Weeks 1 & 2, and to take a little breather.

Hello ACE families,

Hurrah! We made it through the construction last week and we are going into the 3rd week of the continuous 3-week cycle that ACE follows. After classes are over on Thursday, you will have officially begun the “break” week, also known as Off Campus/4th Week (no regular school!). This is the blessing of year round school- built in breaks throughout the year!

Hello ACE families,

How was your first week? Did everything go smoothly or did you experience some road bumps during the week? Remember, while you are getting your footing, the most important subjects to tackle every week will be math and language arts as these are foundational to the rest of the subjects.

Hello ACE families,

Tomorrow begins Week 1 of school!! If you didn’t turn in your assigned Summer HLA booklets yet, make sure you bring those to your teachers on Tuesday to ensure you earn the Barnes & Noble rewards and to avoid having Homework Club on Thursday.
