Our Summer Hours-  Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Office hours during the school year are 7:00 am to 3:30 pm with the office being closed from 2:15-3:00 for dismissal.  
Phones will be on night service during this time.  If you are not able to pick your child up on time, they will automatically go to Extended Day.  

Early dismissals need to be conducted before 2:15.  If you need your child between 2:15-3:00, please see one of the teachers under the canopy to dismiss your child.  If you need to come on campus after school is dismissed, you may wait in the pavilion or the parking lot until dismissal is over.

Early Dismissal Days- days are on your school calendar.  PK- 10:45 am, grades K-3- 11:35 am, and grades 4-8- 11:45 am.  We do not have extended day or wraparound for PK on early dismissal days.  If you have a PK student and an older child, you must pick up your PK at 10:45 and get back in line for your older child.  Extended Day fees will apply for any child not picked up on time.

The decision to declare an emergency closing due to inclement weather will be made by the Superintendent of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of St. Augustine. 

The superintendent will remain in constant contact with the county’s emergency services in order to determine the safest course of action for all the schools.  When a decision is made to close the school, you will be notified by email and our Parent Alert System. 
Updates on closing and re-openings will be on the diocesan website as well. (www.dosafl.com)

Supply Lists (Incoming Pre-Kindergarten - Eighth Grade)

We have changed up our supply lists a bit to try to help our families when buying supplies. You now have an option to have the school purchase certain items in bulk. For $30, ACS will obtain the items listed as "Buy-In" products. We hope this makes things easier for our families while still supplying teachers and students with what they need to succeed in the classroom.

Parents K-8: Lunch Ordering Instructions:

1) Log into your Family Portal Account. 
2) From the main screen, click 'Student Information.'
3) Click 'Lunch' in the same section.
4) Click 'Lunch and Menu Ordering' 
5) Click 'Create Web Order" at the top
6) Select which days you would like a meal and put the number of items in the QTY column. You do this for EACH child for each day of the week.
NOTE: Do not order meals for all your children under one child's name. If you have multiple children, you will see tabs for each child. Please check carefully when ordering.
7) When done ordering, scroll to the bottom and click 'Order Items.' If lunch items are in blue on your lunch calendar on your PC or a black dot on your app, then lunches were ordered for that day.

NOTE: Lunches are billed after they are eaten the day of. You can pay from your student billing page and even pay over the amount to have a credit on your account. You will have until 1:00 pm each weekday to order for the next weekday and until 1:00 pm on Friday to order for Monday. (For example, you need to order by 1:00 pm on August 18 for lunch on August 19 or order by 1:00 Friday for lunch on Monday.)

Balances are to be paid in full on a weekly basis or you risk being shut off. We must pay the restaurants on delivery.  We do not carry balances with them.  This is why it helps to keep a deposit on your lunch account.

If your child is absent, their meal will be held in the refrigerator and given to them upon their return.  It can also be given to a sibling, if applicable, to bring home.  If you know before 1:00 pm that your child will not be in school for lunch the following day, you can go to your account and cancel lunch by clearing out the quantity on each item and hitting submit.  We do not refund lunches.
