Dear Families,
Just a friendly reminder that cold weather season is upon us. Please make sure students are wearing their jackets and other winter clothing like hats, gloves, etc. to school. If your student has lost an item of clothing at school please have them look through the lost and found in each cafeteria.
Cold Weather Policy - Recess
In an effort to give students as much physical activity and fresh air as possible, teachers and staff at AES will attempt to have students play outside throughout the school year during recess times. We will plan to go outside for all or part of a recess period if the wind chill temperature is above 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
To accommodate our winning Phoenix football team, AES movie night is being pushed back to 5:30…. doors will open at 5:15. Come see the movie and then head to the game!!!

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 Jaxsyn Tull from Mrs. Duncan's Kindergarten class.
Thank you, Daylight Donuts, for partnering with us in this special recognition for our students!
Questions from the Classroom
Preschool: Can you add two groups of objects together to make a total within 0-10? (ex: 2 red legos and 2 blue legos make 4 legos all together. 6 cheerios and 4 fruitloops make 10 pieces of cereal all together)
Kindergarten: We have started learning about addition. Can you make up your own addition stories? (Hint: “I have 3 cupcakes and 2 cookies. I have 5 treats in all!)
1st grade: Ask your student to tell you the different kinds of punctuation that goes at the end of sentences. (They are period, question mark, exclamation mark and commas.) Ask your student to write a sentence and use the correct type of punctuation at the end of it.
