We're excited to announce new communications tools that were designed to enhance engagement with our students and families! The new acpsd.net launched earlier this month, and our mobile app with "Rooms" for built-in School-to-Home Two-Way Communications is live now!
Good evening South Aiken Family, this is Sam Fuller with your Walk Your Schedule Announcement.
Students, parents, and guardians, South Aiken will be hosting Walk Your Schedule Night tomorrow Thursday July 18th from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. During this event students will be able to walk their schedule which can be found on PowerSchool Parent Portal and PowerSchool Student Portal. Paper schedules will not be provided Thursday as student schedules are not final, but your student will receive a paper schedule first thing Monday morning in their homeroom class. However, that is not all that will be available during Walk Your Schedule.
First off students will be able to participate in the Parking Pass Lottery to choose their parking spots with seniors meeting in the auditorium at 3:00 and underclassmen meeting at 3:30. To participate in the lottery students must meet three criteria.
1. All fees must be paid to include any back fees, a parking pass fee of $25.00, registration fee, and technology fee. Course specific fees for the 2024-2025 school year are NOT required to be paid prior to participating in the parking pass lottery.
2. Provide a receipt indicating proof of payment.
3. Students must have completed the Parking Pass Request Form that can also be accessed by clicking the link. https://www.acpsd.net/o/sahs/page/parking-pass-request.
Next, students will be able to explore various clubs and organizations available at South Aiken and/or purchase a hotdog meal for $5.00 if you have cash. We will also have our counselors available in the media center to review schedule change requests if a student meets one of four criteria.
1. They have a block missing in their schedule
2. They have a class on their schedule that they have already taken and passed for credit
3. They are missing a class on their schedule they need for graduation or promotion to the next grade
4. They would like to look at changing to a higher or lower weighted course.
Various school personnel will also be in the computer labs on the 100 hallway for those families who need assistance with registering their students. Lastly, there will be a Freshman Orientation in the South Aiken Gym at 5:00. Because of all of these events teachers will not be in their classrooms during Walk Your Schedule Night.
I want to thank you for your time in reviewing this message and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Please have a great evening.
Every Thoroughbred, Every Day, All Means ALL
