First ACCS Scholar to be accepted to Atlantic County Institute of Technology
8th grade scholar, Gabriella Westcott, is the first from her class to be admitted into Atlantic County Institute of Technology, ACIT.
Friday night, as she was getting an early start on her homework, Gabby’s father approached her saying he had good news- she was admitted to her top choice for high school!
“I threw my papers up in the air and started dancing around the kitchen,” the eager, almost graduate, admitted.
Gabby hopes to join the Mechanical Science track upon starting ACIT next fall in the hopes of getting closer to achieving her dream of becoming an airplane mechanic for the Air Force. She’ll also be trying out for volleyball & track, and plans to join as many music clubs as possible to grow her current passion of playing piano, guitar, bass and ukulele. (Our scholars are so talented!)
Miss Westcott mentioned that she could not have done this without the help of her amazing teachers at ACCS. She specifically thanked Ms. O’Connell, Ms. Dattilo & Ms. KC; teachers who were all impactful in her intellectual & emotional growth. “They were there for me no matter what, and helped me through everything during my time here.”
Congrats, Gabby! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish!

It starts this January 21 and scholars have already begun academic activities related to the event!
Scholars Win New Bike With “Caught You Being Good” Incentive
Scholars proudly stand next to the new bicycle and tricycle they just won with their “Caught You Being Good” incentive coupons. “Caught you being good” is a school wide positive incentive program where students are “caught” doing the right thing by staff members and rewarded by earning various incentives from bicycles to ACCS sweat suits. Coupons are also counted by homerooms which compete for the top earners of each marking period. The winning homeroom is rewarded with a pizza lunch. Mrs. Cummins’ 4th grade class won for the first marking period. Great work by all!
