AES, Rock the Test!
Dear AES Students, Families, Staff, and Community,
We are quickly approaching the end of the school year, and there is so much to celebrate here at Arrey Elementary! We’re incredibly proud of all that our students and staff have accomplished, and we’re looking forward to finishing the year strong with lots of exciting events and academic milestones.
This week, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students are working hard as they take the state assessments in reading and math. Next week, our 5th grade students will also take their state science assessment. We know they’ve been preparing and are ready to show all they’ve learned!
At the beginning of May, all students in Kindergarten through 5th grade will complete their end-of-year i-Station assessments in reading and math. We’re eager to see the growth and progress our students have made since the beginning of the school year.
We’re also excited to invite our families and the Arrey community to join us for our annual Cinco de Mayo Fiesta on Friday, May 2nd! Our students have been practicing their folklórico performances, and we can’t wait to celebrate together with music, culture, and community spirit.
As we close out the month of May, we’ll celebrate some of our most important milestones with Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 5th grade graduations. These are special moments in our students’ educational journeys, and we’re honored to share them with our families.
There’s a lot happening at Arrey Elementary, and we are so proud of the joy, growth, and learning we see every day. Thank you for your continued support as we make these last weeks of school meaningful and memorable for our Tigers!
With Tiger Pride,
Ms. Brandy Williams
