About: 14 days of love for ACDS
In the days leading up to Valentine's Day, we are asking parents, children, teachers, alumni, and friends of our school to help us gather stories and get the word out about ACDS. What makes this school special to you?
We'll share the top 14 reasons on Saturday, February 14
Here's one that came in today:

Friends or siblings interested in ACDS?
Application deadline in two weeks
The application deadline for new students -- including siblings -- is Monday, February 16. This is now the only way to receive priority consideration for any classes where space may be available next year.
Many prospective new students and their parents have been visiting in the past few weeks. There has never been a better time to consider Country Day.
Reminder: about financial aid for the coming school year
The ACDS financial aid application deadline is February 9, 2015. Families who have previously received aid awards should have recently received this year's letter of instruction via email. We will not be sending printed copies this year. If you have not received the instructions electronically, please contract Gretchen Cole, Director of Admissions & Financial Aid by email or phone: 925-1909 x208. Thank you!

Dogs - love 'em, but leave 'em outside
Here's a quick reminder of our rules regarding furry friends
Dogs are not allowed in any buildings on the Castle Creek campus. Any dogs brought to school must remain outside, on a leash, under the full control of a responsible adult. Do not leave a dog tied up; no matter how friendly the dog, this poses a risk to children who may pass by. Please pick up animal waste. Thanks!

Jump Rope for Heart
 As you may know, children at ACDS are participating in the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser for the American Heart Association this year. Everyone has received a packet to take home (PE Teacher Alex Tiernan has more if you need one!). The packets have instructions on how to register online. Parents, ask your children about Jump Rope for Heart and help our students support this great cause.
Last week, children baked heart-healthy cookies with teacher Kim Bakker, filling the Lower School with the wonderful scent of cookies baking. All proceeds went to Jump Rope for Heart. How can you help? Ask your children, and get jumping!
