The Aquarian Book Fair is coming!

The Aquarian book fair is held in the library every year at conference time. Students will preview the book fair before conferences. Our school book fair website is here. Once there, you can add money to an eWallet so your child can shop the book fair without sending money or order books if you aren't going to be able to make it to this year’s fair. The first day of sales will be after school on Wednesday the 28th from 12:00-6:00. The book fair will continue the next day, Thursday the 29th, from 8:00-6:00.


Volunteers are needed! If you would like to help with sales, especially the 28th right after school or anytime the 23rd, contact Ms. Sharon, talk to her in the library, or email at holland_sharon@asdk12.org

Parking Reminder

Please remember that families should not park on the neighboring side streets or in the alleys at any time. Parking there can block driveways and mailboxes and make the streets too narrow for residents and emergency vehicles to pass safely.


We want to be respectful, considerate neighbors and honor the requests of those who live near our school. If the Aquarian parking lot is full, please park at City Diner and walk over.


Thank you for helping us maintain a positive relationship with our neighbors!
