Abner Creek Middle School hours are from 8:15am - 3:20pm.

Students need to be in their class and ready to begin instruction at 8:15am.

Dismissals, whether car rider, bus rider, walker, or other, begin promptly at 3:20pm. Please be sure to collect your student on time.

Half day dismissal time is at 12:00pm for middle school.

If you are needing to get your child early from school, all early dismissals need to be done before 3pm. We will not be able to get any child after 3pm for early dismissal.

Attendance is a team effort - parents, students and all faculty and staff at ACM help in ensuring every student attends school.
