Tiger News

Dear AES Families,

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Arrey Elementary! We are looking forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences for every student.

Thank you for trusting us with your children each day. Together, we will create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where our Tigers can thrive.

Here's to a fantastic 2026–2027 school year!

Go Tigers!

Ms. Brandy Williams

Principal

Arrey Elementary School

3rd & 4th Grade Multi-Age Classroom

Due to lower enrollment in Grade 3 this year, with only nine students registered, we will be combining Grades 3 and 4 into a single classroom. Combination classes are a common and effective practice that allow students to learn in a collaborative environment while receiving instruction aligned to their individual grade-level standards.

Your student's teacher, Ms. Plane, will provide differentiated instruction to ensure that all students receive the support and academic challenges appropriate for their grade level. This classroom model has been proven to foster a positive learning environment while supporting leadership, peer collaboration, and academic growth.

We appreciate your support and look forward to a successful year of learning and growth.

Welcome to Our New Teachers!

We are excited to welcome Ms. Trujillo, our new 5th Grade Teacher, and Ms. Hernando, our new Music Teacher, to the Arrey Elementary family! We are thrilled to have them join our team and know they will be wonderful additions to our Tiger community.
