Friday Headlines

News from the Principal- March 1st

Dear Families,

As we approach the end of the quarter 3, I wanted to take a moment to remind you about the significance of this time and your child's academic progress. The end of the quarter marks an important milestone in your child's learning journey. It provides us, as educators, with an opportunity to reflect on their achievements and areas for growth over the past several weeks. It also offers a chance for you as parents and guardians to engage in conversations with your child about their academic performance and goals.

A reminder that all outside tasty treats and beverages need to be enjoy in the designated cafeteria area. By doing so, we'll help maintain a tidy gym that everyone can enjoy activities in, without any worries. So, if you bring in a sweet treat let's make our cafeteria the go-to spot for culinary delights! Together, we can keep our school community vibrant and welcoming.

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 Lacy Kinsman from Mrs. McCully's 5th grade class.

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