The Dawg Dispatch

September 3, 2026
The Dawg Dispatch is your weekly behind-the-scenes look at the Aberdeen School District. From student achievements and classroom highlights to upcoming events and important announcements, we're keeping our families, staff, and community connected as we celebrate another blockbuster year. It's our time to shine!
Bulldawgs in Action - School Spotlight
Taking Math to the Court!
BSMS 6th grade math students reviewed ratios, rates, and unit rates through an exciting game of basketball! Before earning points for their teams, students had to solve the problem and justify their answers using mathematical reasoning.
Learning, teamwork, and a little friendly competition made math a slam dunk!
🍿 Learning Never Tasted So Good! 🍿
Ms. Kennedy and Ms. Stegall’s 1st grade class had a POPPIN’ good time learning about adjectives!
Students used popcorn to explore words that describe—from how it looked and felt to how it smelled and tasted! What a fun, hands-on way to bring learning to life!
Great job, 1st grade!
Learning was on the move this week in Mrs. Walker's 4th grade Class! 📚✏️
During the gallery walk, students collaborated, shared ideas, and used text evidence to explore theme, summarize the story, and analyze Kitoto’s journey. Every student had a voice, every idea mattered, and meaningful learning happened all around the room!
📚✨ Learning Verbs in Action! ✨📚
Last week, Mrs. Bell and Ms. Lenoir’s first-grade class took their learning outside! As verbs were called out, students put their learning into action by demonstrating each one.
They had a great time moving, learning, and showing what they know! We love seeing our
Bullpups enjoy hands-on learning!
🎬💙 AES CULTURE BOOSTER CHALLENGE! 💙🎬
Our Superintendent challenged schools across the Aberdeen School District to participate in Culture Boosters—fun, unexpected moments designed to build excitement, strengthen relationships, celebrate our people, and remind us why we love being part of our district.
So, what did AES come up with for our August Culture Booster Challenge?
An AES Family Cookout—“We Are Family” style!
Our students and staff came together for food, fun, music, laughter, and lots of Bullpup spirit as we celebrated one of the things that makes AES so special—our FAMILY!
A HUGE thank you to all of our staff members who participated and helped bring our vision to life! Your energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to have a little fun made it even more special.
At AES, we know…
We Are Family.
We Are Excellent Together.
Every Pup. Every Day. On the Path to an A!
Now press play and see how AES answered the Culture Booster Challenge!
Give a Dawg a Compliment!
Mrs. Nichols does a great job with the Freshman Seminar class! Her lessons are real-world and engaging for students. She makes our career academy at AHS stronger and accentuates the purpose of what the Success Academy is about.
💙🐾Give a Bulldawg a Compliment!🐾💙
We love celebrating the positive spirit in our district! Take a moment to lift up a student, staff member, or community member by sharing a kind word through our “Give a Bulldawg a Compliment” form.
Freshman Seminar Students Work on Professionalism
Mrs. Nichol’s freshmen seminar students have been working on professionalism!
They have focused on how their choices affect their success in school and the workplace.
They were taught how to tie a tie, how to give a 30s speech with eye contact, and how to perform a firm handshake.
Further, they created “Career Ties” and “Career Boards”.
