Introduction
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Athens City Schools! The Student-Parent Handbook for Grades 6-12 is intended to provide consistency throughout the school experience in Athens under the guidance of the Board of Education.
We are constantly striving to improve, so you will find procedural changes for the upcoming school year. We encourage you to read through the entire handbook carefully in order to ensure a great school experience.
Parents are encouraged to visit the Athens City Schools website often at acs-k12.org for updates and important information.
We look forward to a great school year.
