Dear ABE Families,
We are off to a fantastic start to the school year! Both our students and staff have quickly found their stride and gotten back into the rhythm of daily learning.
Focusing on Student Growth Our staff has been busy gathering baseline data through beginning-of-year assessments to guide our instruction and meet each student's unique needs.
To provide targeted support, we are excited to implement WIN (What I Need) Time. This is a daily 20- to 30-minute block dedicated to academic practice, enrichment, or social-emotional learning. This focused time ensures every student gets the tailored support they need to thrive.
We have also been prioritizing building positive relationships and strong classroom communities that encourage collaboration. We look forward to partnering with you on your child’s academic, emotional, and social growth this year!
Safety Update & School Reminders
Fire Drill Success: We conducted our first fire drill today, and our students did a great job following directions—keeping their hands to themselves, staying quiet, and lining up quickly to go outside. We conduct a safety drill every month (fire, lockdown, hold, or tornado drills).
Arrival Time: Please remember that students should not arrive at school before 7:30 a.m., as supervision is not available prior to that time.
Class Start Times: 3rd, 4th and 5th grades start class at 7:55am, 4k, K, 1st and 2nd grades start class at 8:00am. Please help your child to be in their class on time by arriving at least 5 minutes prior to their start time.
Student safety is important to us and we ask that all students wear close toed shoes to prevent toe injuries during phy ed and recess.
Homecoming Week Details: Wednesday, September 23, will be a standard full day of school. We will have an early dismissal on Friday, September 25, at 1pm so families can attend the Homecoming parade.
Monthly Family Nights: Keep an eye out for details on our upcoming monthly family events! Our first event will take place on 9/29/26
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. It is going to be a great school year!
Warmly,
Mr. B
Principal, ABE Elementary
