AES Monthly Update
December 2, 2025
Brief Message From the Principal
We are looking forward to spending the last few weeks of 2025 with your students! I hope you are all excited and healthy for the winter and holiday season! I have written a few reminders as we head into our winter months.
1. Drop Off- Even in inclement weather, please pull all the way up in the drop off line so we can get students into the building before the start of the school day!
2. Pick Up- Reminder, students should not be picked up later than 3:15 at dismissal. If you are arriving late, please call and you will need to come inside to the office to sign them out.
3.Coats- If your student does not have access to a coat in these cold winter months, please email me or Melissa Conlin, mconlin@arcolaschools.com!
Happy December
- Mrs. Brewer

November Update- December Challenge
November's challenge was to reach 96% again, but this time it was the goal for the whole school! The reward is music at RECESS time! Unfortunately, as a school we only reached 94.8%.
December's challenge is per homeroom class- homerooms that reach 96% will receive hot chocolate as a class!
Remember: Students are more than welcome to be at school as long as they are fever/diarrhea/vomiting free for 24 hours without medicine!
