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!
