Transportation
Arlington has several
bus routes serving the Tyrone/Sharpsburg, Douglasville, and the
Southwest Atlanta area. Most students spend less than an hour
going to or from school. For convenience, we try to arrange for
pick-up points rather than picking up at individual homes. For
more information on the exact bus routes, please contact Mrs.
Martin at (770) 964-9871.
Every effort is made
to keep transportation as convenient and as inexpensive as possible.
Rates may change in keeping with actual cost incurred in providing
the service. The rate for 2003-04 will be $950 for two-way service
and $570 for one-way service on a no-cancellation basis. Occasional
riders may purchase a bus pass from the school office for $4 a
day or $2.50 one-way as needed.
Extended
Learning
A program of after-school
learning is offered to ACS students enrolled in kindergarten through
sixth grade. This enables many working parents to leave their
children at school longer than regular school hours. Students
in the ACS Extended Learning Program receive instructional experiences
in the areas of art, reading, math, music appreciation, computer
and drama.
Students are supervised
by ACS certified teachers in an atmosphere conducive to learning.
The charge for this program is $5 per hour or any part
of an hour. There is supervised learning until 6 pm.
If you are seeking an
after-school day care, we utilize a program held at Cliftondale
Community Center. Arlington will provide bus transportation
after school to this facility for a small fee.
For older students who
cannot be picked up immediately after school, an upper school
study hall is provided for $5 per hour. This study hall
is designed to provide supervision to insure the child's safety.
To enrich the basic
academic program in the lower school, specialty teachers are provided
for Spanish, Music, Art, Physical Education, Media and Computer
Education. In addition to the lower school computer lab, each
classroom is equipped with a multimedia computer and a range of
CD-ROM programs.
All students are provided
with a 30-minute lunch period. Students have the option of either
bringing their lunch from home or purchasing the lunch from a
menu provided at school. Drinks and snacks may also be purchased.
