School is closed on Thursday, April 24th! Combine the ACDS Play Day with Mr. Hart and Coach Ivan and Kidcreate Half-day Camp for a full day of care! Students signed up for both the Play Day and the Kidcreate half-day camp on Thursday will be supervised from one camp to the other -- there is no break in care and parents do not need to come to the school between the two camps.
