Report Card Conferences are this week!
Just a reminder that we have minimum days all this week due to conference week!
Please remember that we do encourage your student to attend their report card conference because we’d love for them to hear what we talk about. It is ultimately up to you, but students are welcome. If you have a conference after 4:30pm, please park in the back parking lot by Paradise Skate because the front gate is locked at 5:00pm. We look forward to seeing everyone this week!
From the Family Network:
Ornament Exchange- Our annual ornament exchange is taking place this Friday November 22nd @ 5:30 pm. It will be held at Straw Hat Pizza 6680 Lone Tree Way in Brentwood. This is an adult-only event so be sure to get a sitter. Please bring a new, wrapped ornament ($10 limit) to exchange white elephant style. The exchange will be following our general meeting.

Thank you ACAII cheetah families for your tree purchases in support of our school. We are happy to announce we are EXTENDING our tree sale. Because of the success of sales and your support for our local Veterans (8 trees!), sales will continue online via paypal until Nov 29th. Fundraising team is also accepting paper order forms which have a cut off date of Nov 22nd, same day as Ornament Exchange at Straw Hat Pizza. You can bring your forms to the exchange and turn them into Maria. We’re speaking with our vendor and possibly may have wreaths available to purchase at our tree lot. If you have any unopened boxes of tree lights, ornaments, garland or board games – please bring them into the office. These items will be donated with trees to the Veterans who receive them. Tree-Lot sales support our General Fund which is used to create our yearly budget which help fund capital improvements, SPA (Middle School), College ScholarShip, Graduation, iLS and so much more. Your family’s contributions to collaboratively support all students of ACAII are graciously appreciated. CHEETAHS MAKE IT HAPPEN!

A note from Mrs. Vela
Our ACA II Experienced and Intermediate Band & String Orchestra students have been invited to perform at our Holiday Tree Fundraiser on Saturday, December 7 at Antioch Charter Academy in their multi-use room. They will perform from about 1:30 – 3:00 pm. Exact performance times will be announced later. Please save December 7 to come listen, shop, snack and enjoy this special event! There will be activities for younger students, so bring the entire family!
Instrumental Music students should be practicing at home!
A friendly reminder for all students in instrumental music: you need to practice your instrument as much as possible! This helps you become a better musician! Please schedule time in your week to practice. All instruments must be taken home from school everyday for students to practice. Please do not leave your instrument at school overnight.
Weekly Work
Students received their Weekly Work folders this week. Inside those folders you will find all of their assignments. We will also include the assignments each week in the newsletter just in case.
