AES Monthly Update

I hope your three day weekend brought your family and student rest and relaxation! We are looking forward to having your student back on Monday morning! Here are some announcements for the month of November:

Family Literacy Night

Family Literacy Night will be held on November 19th at the Elementary School. Keep an eye out on an invitation coming in your inbox soon. You must RSVP to the event if you'd like to receive pizza that night.

Attendance Reminder

Please make sure to get an extended absence form for longer trips in advance of the trip! Additionally, remember to call the attendance hotline at the bottom of this newsletter to report illnesses.

Happy November!

October's Character Trait of the Month was Empathy. Teachers recommended multiple students to receive this reward- look for their photos coming soon on our school website and Facebook!

In November, we are focusing on Gratitude! Feel free to discuss the character trait of the month with your students at home!

October's attendance challenge was by grade level! Stay tuned to see what grades earned extra recess by meeting their goal of 96%.

November's challenge is to reach 96% again, but this time its the goal for the whole school! The reward is music at RECESS time!

Remember: October is the start of cold and flu season- students are more than welcome to be at school as long as they are fever/diarrhea/vomiting free for 24 hours without medicine!

Each month, all of our K-6th grade students receive a lesson from Healthy Kids Educators. These lessons teach students to make healthy lifestyle choices and are taught in the students homeroom class. Please see the attached newsletter for last month's lesson!
