Dear AES Families,

What a wonderful week it has been as we return to school! The building has been buzzing with excitement, and we are thrilled to see so many of you participating in our events. Whether you attended the Kindergarten Meet Your Teacher event, the Welcome Back to School event, or both, your presence made all the difference. It was heartwarming to see all the smiling faces, hear about your summer adventures, and witness the children's excitement about being back at school.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Rotary Peace & Environment Club for their generous donation of backpacks and school supplies! If you were unable to attend the Welcome Back event and would still like a backpack for your child, please contact Sarah Edwards at sedwards@conval.edu.

Each newsletter throughout the year will include important dates, information about schoolwide events, classroom updates, and updates from our PTO. If you prefer a paper copy of the newsletter, please contact Sarah Edwards in the main office, and we can arrange to have it sent home.

Please enjoy the pictures included in this newsletter, capturing the welcome back events and the first day of school.

As always, thank you for your partnership and teamwork each day to support the growth of all children in our community. Here’s to a wonderful school year ahead!

Warmly,

Beth Gibney - Principal

Here is the link to the Antrim town bus routes for Elementary, Middle and High School students.

Each year we send links to complete for Free Reduced Lunch (F&R) and 68 Hours of Hunger. While you may not think you need either resource or think that your family would qualify, I encourage everyone to fill out the F&R paperwork because not only could some families not anticipating qualification be eligible but the percentage of families who do qualify for F&R helps the school receive funding for school wide Title I programming. This programming helps to support intervention services, enrichment services and family engagement opportunities. While you may not need the resource, filling out the forms helps all students at AES. Here is the link to the Free & Reduced Breakfast and Lunch forms.

End 68 Hours of Hunger is also an amazing resource for families. This resource does not require any paperwork and is not a need-based qualification. If you feel your family would benefit from having food provided over the weekend, on school breaks or holidays, please either complete the form attached below or contact Sarah Edwards in the main office for a form and food will be sent home with your child each week and before any breaks or holidays.

Please contact the school with any questions.
