The school year runs for 36 weeks, each week is to be completed
by Saturday at 11:59 p.m. and you will be assigned work weekly.
Students will take their four core classes during the first three
nine weeks. During the fourth nine weeks they will be enrolled in
all elective courses. At the end of the school year your child
should earn a total of six credits. If your child comes to us and
only needs certain courses we will work with you, so they can
finish as soon as the courses are complete. If the coursework is
not completed by Saturday at 11:59 p.m., you will get a message in
the course management system letting you know that your child needs
to attend the mandated tutoring that week. Students will then enter
into their Google Drive account and sign themselves up for a
specific tutoring time. Students will meet weekly with their
teacher to discuss concerns, questions, group work, mini-lessons,
and parent-teacher conferences (once a year, or per teacher or
parent request). Parents need to be very active in their childs
education, so they are successful. Please make sure you are in
constant communication with your childs teacher and ACE office
staff, as we want to make this experience the best theyve had. 9 th
