October 2025 Edition

 

April 1st, 2026

Dear Wonderful A+ Acacia Families, 

It’s truly incredible how quickly this year has flown by. In just eight short weeks, we will be preparing to say a bittersweet goodbye to our wonderful fifth-grade class.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for PTSA Bingo Night! The turnout was fantastic, the energy was high, and it was a joy to see so many families winning prizes and having fun together.

As we head into a very busy fourth quarter, please be sure to check our "In the Loop" newsletter every Friday. It’s the best way to stay updated on all the exciting year-end events ahead! 

3rd-5th Grade AASA State Testing in Full Swing
We wanted to share how proud we are of our students this week. They’ve approached state testing with such focus and dedication, showing off all the hard work they’ve put in this year. We’re heading into our final week of testing; please see the attached flyer for the specific dates for your student's grade level.

Teacher Requests for the 2025/2026 School Year Information
As we look forward, we are beginning to plan for our 2026/2027 school year. I will be sending a letter to families on Monday, April 20th, outlining the teacher request process and our tentative teacher list for the 2026/2027 school year. It will be posted to our website as well.
