All parents are welcome to attend fall parties this year. Parents may enter school through the 2 main entrances or the primary back doors. Teachers will be sending home a sign up list for items needed for classroom parties.
Students are allowed to wear or bring their costume to school. No blood, weapons, gore are allowed. If your student has a mask with their costume, they will be asked to keep it off until the time of the classroom party.
If you have any questions please contact the office or your student's teacher.
The following message comes the USD 409 Tech Department regarding information that will be added to the technology acceptable use policy in the student handbook: Google Workspace for Education is a suite of educational tools offered by Google, such as Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Classroom, and more. As part of our commitment to preparing students for the demands of the 21st century, we use Google Workspace to support classroom activities, communication with teachers, and fostering digital citizenship. To ensure that your child continues to benefit from these essential tools, we kindly request your consent to create and manage a Google Workspace for Education account for them. This consent is essential for us to maintain seamless access to Google apps and services, including textbooks and assignments, which are integral to your child's educational experience.

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 Brandon Wisneski from Ms. Frierdich's 5th grade class.
Thank you, Daylight Donuts, for partnering with us in this special recognition for our students!
