Our Commitment to Safe In-Person Instruction
ACHS is committed to in-person, face-to-face classroom instruction and having the closest thing to a normal school year that we can have. We will work to balance the risks of spreading the virus with the intense need for students’ social-emotional development, mental health, and academic growth. The development of the whole student remains our focus — Mind, Body and Spirit!
Since August, we have safely held in-person classes, masses, and social events for our students and staff without any indication of community spread or transmission. We take the health and safety of our entire community seriously and will put the needs of not only students, but staff, and families at the center of our decisions. For more on our Return to School plan and Virtual Learning plans, please see the links below.
