Transportation???? • ABSS provides transportation for all Early College students to and from campus. When we are the only school in session (the beginning of the school year) our students are picked up at their stop and brought directly to ACC. When all schools are in session, students ride the bus to their attendance zone school. At their home school students board the bus to CTEC. At CTEC students take the bus to ACC. Students can also take the bus from their attendance zone school or CTEC. • Students are provided transportation in the afternoons. We dismiss at 3:40. Some buses may arrive at 4:30. @ABECatACC
How do you apply? Applications are available online on the Early College website.. The • deadline for submission to the Early College or the middle school counseling office is December 13, 2019. No applications will be accepted after this date. Students who qualify are entered into a lottery. Sixty students will be • pulled by lottery to attend the Early College beginning in Early August 2020. Students will be notified by phone. If a student does not accept the invitation, another student will be drawn from the lottery to fill the spot. @ABECatACC
