Attention AC New Families & Knights! 🛡️

Knights, remember to bring your ID badge every day to help keep our campus safe and in compliance with MISD policy!

3 Quick Tips to Remember:
Clip It: Attach your lanyard to your backpack after homework. Stash It: Leave your ID by your shoes or phone overnight.
Set It: Add a morning "Grab ID!" alarm on your phone.

Bringing your badge daily prevents missed class time and avoids calls home. Thank you for doing your part! 🎒✨

🇺🇸 Our flags are flying high at AC New! 🇺🇸

We are excited to share that our NEW United States and Texas flags arrived Friday, and they are ready to take their place proudly on our campus! ❤️🤍💙

But raising our flags is about more than putting them on the flagpole. This week, we are training our AC New Flag Leadership Team to learn the responsibility, respect, and proper procedures that come with raising and lowering our flags each day.

We love creating opportunities for our Knights to lead, serve, and take pride in their school and community.
