We’re excited to announce ACA has applied for the Arizona Education Foundations (AEF) designation as an A+ School of Excellence again! This is a prestigious award that is granted to a select group of schools annually. ACA was previously awarded this designation during the 2018-2019 school year. The process includes a lengthy application with multiple questions to respond to in narrative form – from there, AEF reviews all applications and determines schools that will move onto the 2nd round – the school site visit. If ACA were to be awarded a visit it would be in either November, December, or January.
We are looking forward to hearing soon if ACA has been selected for a site visit!
One of the awesome things about the A+ application is that we get to highlight a variety of programs that make ACA unique. Here are a few of the programs that were highlighted:
- Student Ambassadors
- Cleaning with Meaning
- School Participatory Budgeting
- Responsibility Centered Discipline (RCD)
- Our Reset Room
- Academic Interventionists
- Zearn (Our Math Curriculum)
- Bulldog Parent Committee
- Schoolwide Culture Rubric
We will be highlighting these programs over the next few weeks, so you, parents, also have a better idea of what happens during the day at ACA. We are excited to share all of these programs with you!
