Hello Stingray Nation!
This week is the final week for quarter 2. Be sure to check your grades in Focus and take care of any outstanding assignments by your teachers’ deadline.
The Bizi store will be open during lunches this week Monday–Thursday. All pending orders must be picked up by Thursday, December 18th. Any orders not picked up by that time will be refunded to your account.
Seniors! A few important reminders:
First, be sure you check the senior update on the ACHS website regularly and you are signed into the DCPS app and keeping an eye on the senior Rooms. There are a lot of important deadlines coming up and we want you to stay on track!
Second, the Florida Bright Futures application is open. Step 1 is to complete the application. Step 2, work on earning the requirements to qualify. To access the Bright Futures Application, visit: floridastudentfinancialaid.org. Bright Futures Work or Community Service hours are due to School Counselors by May 1, 2026.

Third, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application is also open. Colleges and Career schools use the FAFSA form to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive, which could include grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans. To apply, visit: studentaid.gov. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of receiving the most aid available!
