Welcome
Welcome to the ACSS website! Aldergrove Community Secondary School is the second oldest high school in the Langley School District. In 2018, we celebrated our 60th anniversary and we’re very proud of our rich heritage and history and our unique and long-lasting ties to our First Nations community.
Parent-Teacher Interviews tomorrow from 2PM-4:30PM. Final bell is 1:55PM!
Student council will have the school store in the athletics foyer open next week for all your pre-packaged “healthy” snack options. The store will be open at lunch 5 days a week and during select evening games. Have an idea of what you want the store to sell? Let any of the @acss.stuco execs know! (We’re kidding about “healthy”… but potato chips are made from potatoes, so there’s some questionable vegetable content there.) #acsstotems #wearetotems #stuco
@acss.stuco is hosting their annual pumpkin carving contest next week! Sign up your teams this week in the front foyer. Carving will be next week on Wednesday/Thursday at lunch. #acsstotems #wearetotems #stuco
Hey Totems! We're looking for a small group of grads to create our school grad committee. You would be working with the school and with the Dry Grad Parents to create a memorable grad season for you and your peers! Interested? Contact Ms. Caines in the library. #acsstotems #grad2022
We are proud to announce that ACSS has been designated as an #AVID Schoolwide site and is the only AVID Schoolwide site in the @langleyschools district. A school gets designated AVID Schoolwide when a strong AVID system transforms the Instruction, Systems, Leadership, and Culture of a school, ensuring university readiness for all students as well as improved academic performance for all students. Congrats, #acsstotems, on being a designated schoolwide site. #wearetotems
Junior girls volleyball team defeated LSS 3-2 this afternoon. Congrats to the team! #acsstotems #wearetotems #acssathletics
Congrats to Alana N for being the winner of #stuco’s frozen turkey! Alana and more than 100 other Totems posted what they’re thankful for on our foyer windows. Enjoy your turkey, Alana, and have a happy and restful Thanksgiving weekend to all our Totems! #acsstotems #wearetotems
Jaime in the PCRS portable is hosting an open house on Friday at lunch! Come check out what's going on in the portable and grab some pizza! Don't forget, tomorrow is early lunch with no extended morning block/RTI time so lunch is at 11:30am! #acsstotems #wearetotems
Want to win a free (frozen) turkey? Swing by the foyer W/Th/F at lunch and write down what you're thankful for. StuCo will enter your name into the draw for a free turkey you can take home and cook for Thanksgiving (or give it to someone who can help you cook it!) All thankful slips will be displayed on the foyer windows! Draw for the turkey will take place Friday at the end of the day and the winner will be announced immediately. Good luck, turkey lovers! #acsstotems #wearetotems #thanksgiving

Are you in grade 9? We're looking for two grade 9 class reps to join Student Council. Pick up an application package in the library or in Ms. Ross' room. Come be a part of a big group of students bringing school spirit and Totems culture to our school. Get involved in house teams, school store, and pep rallies!

Lunchtimes are time for Jenga in the fishbowl. #acsstotems #wearetotems
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at our Meet the Teacher Night and Grad Parent Info Session. We were thrilled with the turnout and happy to see the 'Community' back in our school. Slides from the Grad meeting were emailed out. We are still looking for parents to join the Dry Grad committee; please let Ms. Caines know if you are interested in joining! #acsstotems #wearetotems
Most students had their photos taken today for their student ID. If you ticked the ‘yes’ line and signed the form handed out in your B block class on Wednesday, your photo will be printed in the yearbook. If you indicated ‘no’, we will not be publishing your photo. If you do not sign the form, we will presume it’s ok and will be publishing your photo. Make sure your forms are handed into the office!
If you missed the photo time today, we will get you on retake day. If you got your photos taken, do not lose the yellow slip with the QR code. You will access your photos with this. Please contact MountainWest at the email below for more info.
Mr Mathai’s AVID 11 class took part in a Métis jigging demonstration this morning outside in the beautiful sunshine. #acsstotems #wearetotems
Just a reminder to all students that drive to the school: you need a parking pass! Please register your vehicle in the office and get a green 2021-2022 pass. Also, make sure you’re parking appropriately in the lot. This student checked all Mr Gordon’s boxes: parking pass ✅ between the parallel parking lines ✅ tires properly inflated ✅ vehicle locked ✅ #acsstotems #wearetotems
Real world skills are taught in Mr Jones’ auto shop. Students work on their own cars (or in this case, their sibling’s car), staff members cars, and often get to work in our school race car. #acsstotems #wearetotems #realworldskills
A BigNateasaurus decided to grace the grad parking lot at lunch today. We have questions. Do you just keep these blow up costumes in the trunk of your car? This is weird. #acsstotems #wearetotems #wearenotdinosaurs
