Welcome to the new school year! If you haven't yet, please review the new opening plan below and watch Superintendent Rick Kempton's video, which was sent to the AACS community on August 20, 2021. Please provide documentation (vaccination or negative PCR test) by September 3 in order to have the option of going without a mask indoors during phase Blue, Yellow, and Orange periods. Until documentation is provided, masking is required regardless of preference. Information will be sent to all faculty, staff, and families next week with instructions for uploading vaccine or test documentation to FamilyID or submitting it to your student's campus main office.

• All students ages 12 and up, faculty, and staff and who choose no mask indoors during phase Blue, Yellow, and Orange periods, must provide proof of full vaccination or a negative PCR test result conducted between now and September 3.  

• The CDC defines “fully vaccinated” as two weeks post final dose.

• Updated testing results or vaccination status may be requested at various times for students ages 12 and up, faculty, and staff during the school year if they wish to continue to choose no mask indoors during phase Blue, Yellow, and Orange periods.
