This past Saturday, 12 of our students took the initiative to get QPR certified. The conversation was beneficial and eye opening. QPR stands for Question, Persuade and Refer – the 2 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. These 12 students, Emma Soltys, Kate Farmer, Penn Davis, Bay Williams, Reese Jarrard, Yusra Rahman, Jack Roberts, Mia Lee, Veronkia Babbitt, Liam Biehl, Declan Brooks and Alex Elkabbani are now all certificed to help change lives. Thank you to @Nucisspace fro providing this program. These 12 are the first youth to receive this cerfification!

“The Math Club has a new service opportunity for juniors and seniors willing to tutor other students in Math! Students would help out the Math teachers during regular tutorial hours by answering questions and assisting students feeling stuck. The time commitment is completely up to you, and you can help out anywhere from once a month to multiple times a week based on your interest.
While this is mostly an opportunity for juniors and seniors who have already taken Geometry and Algebra II, anyone from any grade who thinks they might want to help out is more than welcome to fill out the interest form here: https://forms.gle/F6cNQ3wCTVPgfzRd6.”

Project Uplift:

A new project is starting up at ACAD. The idea is to send upper school friends, faculty, peers an anonymous note to encourage them. Can be anything from something you appreciate about them, to something they taught you, anything you think will brighten their day. We will keep the link open and on ACAD daily for a little over a month, so you have time to think about what you want to say. Don’t send multiple to the SAME person. Maximum 300 characters. Keep it positive. Click here to submit an anonymous message . If you have any questions email @projectupliftacad@gmail.com

Congratulations to senior Clara McLanahanfor being named

Spartans of the Week! (Week of November 4):

“Clara is a dominant force on both sides of the ball. As a linebacker, her exceptional timing and instincts to read the opposing offense allow her to disrupt passing lanes and make crucial tackles. Her relentless pursuit of the ball makes her a formidable challenge for any offense. When called upon as quarterback, Clara showcases a strong arm and excellent timing, whether connecting with receivers or taking off to run. Beyond her on-field prowess, Clara is an invaluable asset during practices. She leads team warm-ups, analyzes game film, encourages her teammates, and maintains a positive outlook. Her great attitude and leadership both on and off the field is inspiring, and her contributions to the team’s success this season are undeniable.”

– Alan Weiler, Head Coach Varsity Flag Football

Students are expected to stay for the entire testing time (block) and may not leave if they finish early.
Mrs. Zalac must approve pre-arranged absences.
When students have free blocks, (non-academic) electives, or study halls, they needn’t attend school although students may be on campus; we will have supervision for students who need to be on campus for the entire day (bus riders or others who need to stay).
Students who receive extended time should be proactive about their exams and be sure that they have time for lunch if they have two exams in one day.
As always, the honor code will be followed and enforced.
