Soaring Student of the Week!

Students at AES have the opportunity to earn recognition for positive behavior during the week. When staff members see great choices being made, students can receive a SOAR slip with specific praise. Every Friday, the names of every student who earned a SOAR slip are read during the morning opening. All student slips are entered into a drawing, and one student is randomly chosen to receive donuts for his or her class.

This week's Soaring Student was Tristin May from Mrs. Gray's 5th grade class.

Thank you, Daylight Donuts, for partnering with us in this special recognition for our students!

Phoenix Five: Takes Ownership Winners!

Takes ownership:

I take charge of my own learning.

I can set goals for myself.
I can take action steps to meet my goals.
I can work until I’m proud.

Ask your student about the taking ownership in their learning at home and what success criteria they have accomplished.
