Attention Incoming Freshmen for 2025-2026 School Year
📢 Enroll Your Child in Preschool! 📢
Allen County Primary Center is now accepting preschool eligibility applications! Our preschool program is eligibility-based, providing high-quality early learning experiences for children who qualify.
To be eligible, children must meet one of the following criteria:
✅ Be 3 years old by Aug. 1 with a suspected disability
✅ Be 4 years old by Aug. 1 with a suspected disability OR meet income requirements
A suspected disability means a child is not reaching certain milestones in one or more of the following areas: communication, motor (fine/gross), social/emotional, adaptive/self-help, and/or cognitive development at the expected age. Every child grows at their own pace, but if delays are noticed, early support can make a big difference.
Preschool is a valuable opportunity to build foundational skills for future success! If you believe your child may qualify or have questions about enrollment, please complete the Eligibility Form and someone will contact you with more information.
We look forward to welcoming our youngest learners! 🎉
NOTE: If your child is currently attending preschool at ACPC you DO NOT need to complete this process. This is for NEW students only.
We are thankful for our dedicated School Resource Officers every day!
It's FRYSC Week and we wanted to introduce the faces behind the Family Resource and Youth Service Centers here in the Allen County School System.

Standing behind our motto "Whatever it takes", which reflects the commitment of FRYSCs to help students and families by removing non-academic barriers to student achievement, bridge the gaps to needed resources and collaborate the resources of the schools and communities for the success of students and families. FRYSCs offer a variety of resources, programs, and community partnerships to achieve their goals. For more information on FRYSCs services and programs please contact your child's school.

January is officially School Board Appreciation Month, but we appreciate our Board every day!
We want to thank Mr. Brian Celsor, Mr. Al Barman, Ms. Berlinda Bazzell, Mr. Billy Turner, and Mrs. Stacey Coffey for their hard work, unwavering service, and passion for Allen County Schools.
With the Winter Storm Warning scheduled to go into effect at 3 a.m. on Friday, January 10, and the forecasted winter weather, Allen County Schools will be closed tomorrow for a traditional snow day. We will not be using NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) tomorrow, so take the day to enjoy the snow!
Please stay safe on the roads and take time to make some special memories. Whether it’s building a snowman, sledding, or just relaxing at home, we hope you enjoy this unexpected day off.
Allen County Schools will be in session and operating on a regular schedule today. However, buses may be a couple of minutes behind schedule. While most roads are clear, there are occasional patches of black ice from the weekend weather that moved through the area.
We encourage all drivers to allow extra travel time and exercise caution on the roads.
We look forward to seeing everyone today!
We hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday break! This is a quick reminder that school will be back in session tomorrow, 1/7/2025, following our regular schedule.
We’re excited to welcome our students back and look forward to a great start to the new year together.
Check out all there is to offer at the Patriot STEM Hub with Mrs. Vicki Cooper!
Thank you to the Laura Turner Goad Foundation for making our SKyPAC trip possible. Second graders at ACPC enjoyed the production of Annie Jr!
