Stingray Nation Weekly Update Atlantic Coast High School

Hello Stingray Nation,

We hope you have enjoyed your Spring Break. Remember that there is no school tomorrow, Monday, March 24th. We look forward to welcoming you all back on campus on Tuesday morning.

Prom will be on Saturday, April 12th. Tickets are on sale now online only at dcps.schoolcashonline.com. The cost is $85. Information sheets that included permission slips and outside guest forms were distributed through English classes earlier this month. If you did not receive one, please see your English teacher.

Our next MNM Shutdown Day, or Morning of No Movement, will be on Wednesday, April 2nd.

  • 9th and 10th grade students will be taking the BEST Writing assessment.

  • 11th grade students will be taking the in-school SAT.

  • 12th grade students will report to a silent study hall during the testing window.

Please note:

  • Students taking the BEST Writing test must use a DCPS-issued device.

  • Students taking the SAT may use a personal device or a DCPS device, as long as the Bluebook app is installed and up-to-date.

  • Due to testing security, no student call-outs will be allowed between 7:45am and 11:15am.

Senior families please be sure to review the digital senior update at https://bit.ly/achs2025. Graduation will be here soon and it’s important to be as prepared as possible before the big day.

As always, if you have any feedback or input on our work here at Atlantic Coast please reach out to the school.
