Sep 29, 2025
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.
4th Week Homework Club (9/30/25)
4th Week Homework Club is Tuesday, September 30, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 noon for Grammar C- Dialectic 4 (note: Rhetoric is a full day, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.; bring a lunch!). Homework Club is available for students needing help with missing work or figuring out the ACE system. ADs will notify you if Homework Club is required, but students are welcome to attend without an invitation (please just communicate with your AD so they are prepared to assist you).
Personal Emails
We have transitioned out of using personal emails and will be using only ACE emails going forward. If you are having any difficulty with your ACE email, please check with Mr. Stacy, ACE Information Technologist, for assistance. Email ACE.Tech@ACEClassicalEd.org or stop by the IT desk in the main hallway.
Pumpkin Patch Time (registration ends 10/17)
It’s field trip time! Join us at Detering Orchards on October 30, 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. To register and get more information, sign up here: forms.gle/WqZtfZKfa9CBuBEc8
Art Auction Fundraiser (optional activity):
This term's Student Council fundraiser will be an Art Auction! Students have until Thursday, October 9th to submit something they are proud of. To encourage variety, we are assigning different styles to each level. Grammar level students can submit a painting, Dialectic level students can submit a mixed media piece, and Rhetoric students may create a charcoal or pencil (lead or colored) drawing. Please include the title of the work, your name and grade, and what materials were used to make it. All submissions must be brought to Mrs. Stacy's room by October 9th. The bidding will start the following Tuesday of Week 5 (10/14) and end Thursday of Week 6 (10/23). Everything will have a starting bid of $1.00, and families can put their bid on the art anytime during the auction period. The proceeds will go towards the Academy Ball in the spring. This is an excellent opportunity for students to show off their best work while also contributing to the ACE community. We look forward to seeing your stellar creations!
Sourdough Bread/Treats Fundraiser
Rhetoric student Nicole Wilhour is raising funds to pay for her trip to Barcelona with ACE next spring. If you would like to support her efforts and have a delicious sourdough treat in the process, you can order from her here:forms.gle/bWo2Puwqn3p1vp6y9
