Wow, did you SEE the snow we had???

Obviously the snow affected us all, including the ACTC, which was closed on Wednesday and Thursday last week. We are doing what we can to re-schedule the classes that were missed, but it may not be possible to re-schedule all. If you missed a class in a series, it will likely be on the schedule for the future, Just sign up for the next available class. Thank you for your understanding. I don't think anyone knew the level of changes that had to be made to accomodate Mother Nature...

Notice: ACTC CLOSED Thursday

Due to the weather conditions all Waubonsee sites will be closed Thursday, including rhe ACTC. Classes will be re-scheduled. Stay warm!

ACTC closes at 2 pm TODAY, Feb 1
