Mark your calendars and please join us for the ASD 3rd Grade Literacy night for ALL UPCOMING third graders! Not only will you be receiving FREE books and resources for you and your children, this is a great opportunity to find out more information about the 3rd Grade Gate and what standards will be taught this year. You will also get a sneak peak at what books are used in the classroom (Ready Reading, Sadlier Vocabulary, Lumos Learning, etc.). This is an excellent opportunity for third grade families to begin the school year ready for success. #Read #Lead #Succeed #WeAreAC #aPAWSitiveplacetobe

Parents and Guardians,

Each month, we have a Capturing Kids’ Hearts word of the month that we focus on teaching throughout the school. As part of our CKH process, we recognize students in each grade level who are doing an exceptional job with showing the CKH character traits. A big shout out goes to the students who earned recognition for showing Responsibility and Respect! Each student recognized received a CKH sign to be proudly displayed in their yard at home. Way to go! We’re so proud of you!
School starts back tomorrow. The Strickland Bridge (near Hwy. 72) will be closed for repairs for the next couple of weeks. Car riders will need to make some adjustments. Buses may have to adjust their times as well. Sorry for the inconvenience, but glad to have the bridge repaired! WE ARE AC!
NOTE: BUS 196 will be leaving campus a little later today. It will be closer to 3:30 before the bus leaves campus, so please be aware your children will arrive home later than usual if they ride Bus 196.
This week we have a guest reader for Bedtime Books! Mrs. Angela is reading Good Dogs, Great Listeners. This story is based on a true story about a little girl from Sandy Hook Elementary and her dog. Kindness is our CKH word for February, and this is a great story about showing kindness to animals. Watch all the way to the end for some bloopers!
