It was a Shep-tacular day! Happy Mr. Shep day!
🎉 It’s the 106th Day of School at ACPC 🎉
We are celebrating 106 days of learning, growth, and hard work. Students are invited to dress like they are 106 years old and show off their best granny or grandpa style. We cannot wait to see the creativity.
It is also Mr. Shep Day. Students may choose to dress like Mr. Shep instead. Either way, feel free to dust off those bald caps and join us for a fun, school-spirited day.
We are looking forward to a great day of learning and celebration tomorrow at ACPC.
If you have a child between the ages of 3 and 4, we would love to connect with your family! Allen County Primary Center is now inviting families to begin the preschool screening process.
These screenings help families learn more about their child’s development and connect early with our team when support can make a lasting difference. Even if you are unsure whether your child will qualify, we encourage you to move forward and learn more.
Getting started now helps us plan for the year ahead and ensures your child has every opportunity for a strong start.

Please help us support our community by sharing this post with neighbors, friends, and family who have preschool aged children. We cannot wait to meet our future Patriots and partner with Allen County families from the very beginning.
Regrettably, we will be shifting to a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Day today, Wednesday, February 4, 2026.
While we were hopeful to return on a delayed schedule, overnight runoff has refrozen, creating slick spots on some roadways. With temperatures at or below freezing, this has raised new concerns about safety for our buses, staff, and student drivers.
We had to jump on the trend! It is School Counselor Appreciation Week, and we are thankful for Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Towe. They support our students each day with care, guidance, and dedication, helping every child feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Thank you for the difference you make in our school community.
Allen County Schools will have another Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Day tomorrow, Tuesday, February 3, 2026, as some secondary roads remain unsafe for bus travel.
Hot off the Patriot Press!
Allen County Schools will continue with a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Day on Monday, February 2, 2026, due to ongoing conditions of secondary roads.

• If you have power, please follow your NTI plan and complete the assignments posted by your teachers.
• If you do not have power, we completely understand. Students will be given additional time to complete assignments once power is restored.
• Some teachers may also still be without power and unable to post assignments right away. If that happens, they will upload and communicate with students as soon as they are able.
