AQUARIAN A–Z: A Guide for New Families
We’re excited to share a helpful guide for new (and returning!) families at Aquarian! The guide explains common names, programs, and terms you’ll want to know about our school. [Click HERE to check it out!]
Cellphone/ Smart Watch/ Device Policy
Aquarian has a strict no cell phone or any other smart device policy. Students must keep these devices in their backpacks. If they are seen during the day, they will be taken. Parents will be contacted, and then they can pick up the device from the front office.
If you need to get ahold of your child during the day, please call the front office at 907-742-4900.
After-School Activities (ASA) Updates
ASA offerings will be shared on Friday, 8/28.
On Monday, 8/31, Ms. Hope will be on the blacktop starting at 8:00 a.m. to collect ASA forms. Extra forms will be available if you weren’t able to print one at home.
While you’re there, stop by the breakfast bake sale.
If you have any questions, please call the front office at 907-742-4900.
Pizza, Pizza Fundraiser!
Third grade will be hosting pizza fundraisers this year to raise money for additional field trips. We’ve appreciated your support in the past and look forward to another great year. Lunch will be delivered to your child's classroom on Friday, September 11th. It will include a slice of cheese pizza, carrots, and an applesauce pouch for $7.
Orders are due Friday, September 4. Please send cash only stapled to the order form coming home or use this link.

Volunteer & Field Trip Driver Information
We love having our Aquarian families involved! Whether you plan to help in the classroom, chaperone a field trip, drive for a field trip, or volunteer at a school event, all volunteers must complete ASD’s online Raptor Volunteer Application.
We are asking EVERY parent/guardian to complete the Raptor application at the beginning of the year—even if you aren’t sure you’ll volunteer. Getting approved now means you’ll be ready when a volunteer opportunity or field trip comes up!
Please complete your application as soon as possible:
ASD Volunteer Application & Information
New this year: Volunteers who interact with students at school for more than four (4) hours per week must also complete Mandatory Reporter Training before volunteering.
Additional forms for field trip drivers and walking field trips will be provided by your child’s teacher as needed.
Thank you for helping us make field trips, classroom activities, and special events possible. Our volunteers are an important part of what makes the Aquarian community so special!
