Decisions to enroll in A3 Virtual Learning must be made by Friday, July 31. Please understand that Virtual Learning is NOT the same as eLearning. A contract must be signed, and a commitment for the entire first semester must be made to enroll. Please contact your student's school if you have any questions.

Today is the last day to complete our "Parent Declaration of Intent" form so we may have a better understanding of our families' needs. If you have more than one child that attends Anderson 3, please fill out a form for each student.

To keep you as informed as possible, we would like to update you on our 2020-2021 school year schedule. After recommendations from Gov. McMaster and evaluating our families' and staff's needs, we have modified our operating schedule. Elementary and Middle school students will operate on a traditional 5-day face-to-face schedule that follows model 1 of our reopening plan. We will update you when a plan for high school students is complete. We will still offer a virtual option for the 2020-2021 school year. A commitment for at least the first semester must be made by July 31. Your child's school will inform you of the virtual learning details.


Online Registration is Now Open! To access, log in to your PowerSchool Parent Portal account. https://bit.ly/A3ParentPortal
If you have questions regarding registration, please contact your child's school.


Due to Governor McMaster's recommendations, we have adjusted our school calendar to reflect a later start date. Please note that the new start date for Elementary and Middle school students is August 31, 2020. High school students will begin on September 8, 2020.
Further information regarding school operations will be forthcoming in a separate announcement. To download/print our calendar, click here: https://bit.ly/A32020-21
