Kindergarten Round Up

What will happen at Kindergarten Round-Up?

Our early elementary faculty will evaluate each student in an effort to determine which of our programs will best meet the child’s need. Evaluations will take place in a group setting from 9:00-11:00 a.m. There will be fun activities to go along with the assessment, your child will most likely want to start school right away!

How will I be notified of my child’s assessment results?

In approximately two weeks, each family will receive a letter with an official Kindergarten or Begindergarten recommendation for their student. An individual assessment may be needed and will be indicated in the letter. It is our goal that children receive the placement that allows for maximum success and growth!

What happens after we receive the official recommendation letter?

It’s time to enroll! Please fill out all paperwork in the enrollment packet and drop it off at the ACA office. All new-to-ACA families will need to schedule a meeting with our elementary principal, Joyce Hansen. This can be done by contacting our office and setting up a time that works in your schedule.

Please register your child for Round-up by calling our office at 515-965-8114.

If you have any questions regarding any of the above, please feel free to contact us! We want this process to be as easy and simple as possible.

We hope you will join us!

Project Serve

What is Project Serve?
ACA’s Project Serve is an event in which ACA students, staff, and families serve our community while raising funds for ACA. Project Serve supports ACA’s mission of building Christian character by instilling in our students a strong sense of their roles in the community, church, and family while raising funds for our school. Students ask friends and family to sponsor them as they participate in serving in various ministries and the community.

Serving Others
As we raise funds for our school, our students, staff, and faculty will serve others in our community and at various ministries throughout February and March.

Supporting Project Serve
All funds raised benefit our school! Join us by supporting our efforts!
