Dear Parents,
As summer has been rolling by, many changes have occurred here at school. Our class enrollments have shifted all around and we are working to make adjustments to meet student needs. A specific change has occurred in the 5th and 6th grades. The 6th grade has increased in size to that which is greater than the 5th. Due to this shift, I have reversed the way the classes are arranged. This fall, the 5th grade class will be combined as one and the larger, 6th grade class will be split into two smaller groupings.
I realize that changes this close to the start of school can cause some minor stress. Please let me assure you that the 5th and 6th grade team of teachers will work together to help your child be successful in school. All 5th grade students will have Mrs. Packard for their homeroom teacher. Mr Kaye-Schiess and Mr. LaBranche will be the 6th grade homeroom teachers.
This notice is being sent out by U.S. mail service and will also be on the school webpage for parents to read.
Homeroom assignments for the 6th grade students will be noted at the bottom of their letter.
I thank you for your support and would be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Tricia A. Halliday

Dear Superstars,  It was such an honor to be at the Teacher of the Year ceremony in Augusta on April 10th.
The banquet the night before really gave all who attended an understanding that the process of becoming a TOY is not just a contest, but a journey.
The speeches from former TOYs were inspiring and uplifting.
It made me proud to be an educator and to be working here at Acton with Tracy Scully.
She really "wowed" those who toured the Hall of Flags with her display.
They thought it was amazing how much Ms Scully spoke of Acton with pride and dignity.
That is a HUGE part of being a TOY, embracing the success for not only yourself, but for your school and community.
Commissioner Bowen, First Lady Ann LePage, and Chairman Banks gave awards to the 8 nominees and there were many eyes that were not dry.
The atmosphere was that of a celebration of education and that not only the nominees but everyone in that room who works with children was a rock star.
Truly one of the best experiences of my career.
Humbly Submitted,
Susan Ottey

Do you have a child that will be 5 years old by October 15, 2012?
If you do, please call the school at 636-2100 ext. 201 and get your child’s name on the kindergarten screening list.
Also, if you have children younger than 5 years old or know of someone else who does, please notify the school.
Please ask others to call in with their information so that we may get future children on our lists.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter. |

We have many exciting activities happening in the library this year!
For library news updates, student research resources and for access to the Acton School Library catalog from home, simply click on the “Library” tab at the top of the school’s home page.
This fall, the 7th and 8th grade classes will be taking part in lessons from the Common Sense Media Digital Literacy and Citizenship curriculum. The overall goal of this curriculum is “to educate young people to harness the power of the Internet and digital technology for learning, and for them to become safe, responsible, and respectful digital citizens.” For more information and for some great parent resources visit: http://www.commonsensemedia.org/
The Girls Point of View Book Club will be starting in October. Girls in grades 5 through 8 are invited to join one of two small book discussion groups. The groups will be reading books with strong female characters that are learning and growing through their experiences. The discussion groups meet during lunch on Fridays.
The annual fall Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for the first week of November. More information to come…
