The PTO and AAK are excited to offer parents/guardians of students the option to pre-order School Supply Kits for the 2025-2026 school year. A Google Form is provided here with the ability to indicate how many kits are needed and to complete payment to AAK’s PayPal account. The goal is to have at least 100 kits ordered with the hopes of more participants to make the project possible.

• Removes the struggles of back-to-school shopping.
• Through bulk ordering we’re able to achieve competitive pricing options for high-quality supplies from trusted suppliers.
• The PTO & AAK will be working to assemble kits and deliver them on back-to-school night for the 2025-2026 school year.
• Kits are for every grade level and priced the same amount of $65/per kit. The order form will ask how many you need and will ask for what student/grade. That allows us to ensure you receive the supplies needed for your student's grade level next year.
• Kits will include everything except backpacks, lunch boxes, water bottles, Pre-K blanket, and 3rd grade recorders/recorder music books.

Deadline for order is May 2nd.

Google Order Form: https://forms.gle/LT1kKyuifsYySixo8

Yearbooks are only $20 (cash or check) in the office.

Please let us know if your student will be out for the day, or will be more than 15 minutes late for school:

If your student is going to be absent for an appointment, vacation, or is ill, please call to let us know, or use the form linked below to excuse their absence.

Your student must be free of fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea for 24 hours without medication before returning to school, i.e. if they have symptoms today, they will need to remain home tomorrow.

If your student has a runny nose, cough, sore throat, etc. (without fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea) they must stay home until they only have one symptom left and it is improving.

Or you can call 970-226-2800. Thank you!
