We will start with elementary students at 8:45, and will begin the middle school spelling bee when the elementary contest ends (hopefully around 10:15).

We will follow normal parent/visitor procedures, so be sure to bring your ID and check in the office with time to make it to the auditorium to watch.

Please see information below from Broadway Theatre League for a great workshop oppurtunity!

"The Sound of Music" will be playing at the VBC Concert Hall on January 27 - February 1 (eight performances). BTL would like to invite your middle school theater students to attend a FREE workshop for acting, singing and dancing and also seeing the show for FREE. Workshop starts at 4:30pm (registration at 4:15pm) on Friday, January 30, and the performance begins at 7:30pm.

We will have one or two cast members from the tour teaching the workshop. Here are the registration links for your students:

1. Car line begins at 7:30. Please do not drop students off before 7:30 and leave them unattended! If you know you need to drop off before 7:30, please contact Reaching Readers Project (flier below). They offer before school care from 7:00-7:30 for $25 per week.

2. Parents MAY NOT drop students off in the front of the building. If you get to school after 8:00, this is the ONLY acceptable procedure:

1. Park your car in a parking place- not in the bus line!

2. Walk your student(s) into the school

3. Sign your student(s) in in the front office

3. Car line is FINISHED at 3:30. We have had a steady increase of parents not showing up at school until 4:00, 4:30, even 5:00. We will always work with you, but please do not abuse our kindness! If you know you are consistently going to be later than 3:30, please reach out to Reaching Readers (see flier below). They offer a cost effective and flexible ($55 per week) after school program at AAA.

4. We are all busy in the mornings and afternoons! No one loves drop off and pick up and we understand all the stress that comes with getting our children settled so we can start our day. That being said... please do follow our procedures and be kind! Our teachers are on duty and they have to leave on time so school can start on time!

Each morning, from 7:30-7:45, students may choose a soft start activity in the library, cafeteria, or on the playground. This is the schedule for the playground for the rest of the year.

We want to hear the great things you see our faculty members doing! Complete the form to shout out fAAAmily you see going above and beyond! We will share these shoutouts with our faculty members.
