Dear AE Families,
I hope this message finds you well and that you had a restful Thanksgiving break!
As we reach the end of November and prepare to turn the calendar to the final month of the year, I find myself holding onto the spirit of the season. Over the break, I had time to reflect on the first few months of this school year, and my overwhelming sentiment is one of gratitude for this community.
We often talk about student success, but it is important to recognize how that success happens. It is rarely an individual effort. The growth we are seeing in our classrooms is the direct result of a dedicated partnership between our staff and our families. Thank you for the countless ways you support your children’s education at home. When we work together, as a unified team, we create the strongest possible foundation for our students to thrive.
As we enter the busy stretch between now and winter break, I ask for your continued collaboration. Let us keep the lines of communication open and maintain the routines that help our students arrive ready to learn every day.
Thank you for a wonderful November. I look forward to a strong finish to the semester together.
Warmly,
Becky Hoover
Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent parent-teacher conferences. Your partnership is essential to your child's success!
We are committed to making these conferences as valuable and accessible as possible for all families. To help us improve the format, communication, and overall experience, we kindly request your honest feedback.
This quick survey focuses on two key areas:
Conference Format: How effective was the length, scheduling, and structure?
Removing Barriers: What steps can the district take to make it easier for every family to attend and participate in conferences?
Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts by Friday, December 12th. Your insights will directly inform how we plan and organize future family engagement opportunities.
Thank you for helping us strengthen our school-family partnership!
With the recent drop in temperatures, we want to ensure all students are comfortable and ready to learn throughout the school day. Please remind your child to come to school dressed appropriately for the colder weather, including coats, hats, and gloves as needed. Students also need to be dressed appropriately for outdoor recess, which will take place each day as long as the real feel temperature is above 28 degrees.
While our nurse’s office does have a small supply of warmer clothing available for students to borrow, it is limited. Thank you for helping us keep everyone warm, healthy, and ready for a great day of learning!
We are excited to help create a community of lifesavers and are asking you to join us. Sign up under our school HERE. Check this off your list in less than one minute and receive a wristband just for joining the team.
