The last meeting for Girls in STEM will take place on May 12, 2023. Thank you to all our aspiring leaders in STEM and especially to Mrs. Odo for bringing this opportunity to our students.

The STEAM Lab is doing a project for our 1st graders and we are in need of empty paper towel rolls. Please send them in by May 8th. You can have your student bring them into the STEAM Lab, room 35, or mark them to the attention of Mrs. Cunningham if left in the office.

As always, thank you for your support!

Please let us know if your wolf will be returning to ASA next year by submitting THIS online Intent to Return form.

Please submit this form ASAP!

Thank you!

Dear Parents/Guardians of 8th grade students,

Please fill out the online form below to let us know what high school your child will be going to next year. Filling out this form will assist us in knowing where to mail your student's cumulative records once they've been requested by the school. It will also assist us when high schools request transcripts for students.

23-24 High School Form

Did your Wolf attend ASA last year? If so, please log on to your ASA Parent Portal account and complete the 22-23 Returning Student Registration (also known as the Welcome Packet) as soon as possible. To do this, login to your parent portal account via the website, not the app, then go to the left of the screen and click the icon that reads Registration 2022-2023.

Please refrain from dropping items off for your child whether it be food, drinks, or other items. Lunches and water bottles should already be in your child's back pack before they get to school. Treats are not allowed on special occasions, holidays, or birthdays. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. The office is unable to deliver items brought in during the school day.

Please send a refillable water bottle with your wolf daily being sure their name is on it. The school is unable to provide water bottles for students. Thank you!

Please note that only students with a medication form signed by a doctor and turned in to the Health Office are permitted to carry medication on their person. The form must specify that the student may carry the medication with them during the school day.

When possible, please refrain from picking up your Wolf during recess, lunch or the last hour of school. Please make an appointment in advance so we can have your Wolf ready upon your arrival.

ASA Bell Schedule

When dropping off and picking up your wolves, please remember to be mindful and respectful of our neighbors and their homes and do not block their driveways.

We are excited to announce our Great Wolf Challenge. Apex Protection Project brought wolves to our campus so that students can learn about these animals and how we can protect them. The Apex Protection Project has extended an invitation to ASA to participate in a contest and win a chance to visit the rescue. This STEAM challenge will require students to use their creativity, problem-solving skills, and knowledge of environmental sustainability to create an animal crossing for wolves using recycled materials.

Please see this link for more information on The Great Wolf Challenge along with all the requirements and submission details. Winners will be announced during our grade level assemblies later this month!

Presentation and materials from our SELPA's Community Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting on Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports in the Home. See this resource for positive reinforcement strategies to reduce or eliminate undesired behaviors at home. Thank you to our CAC parent representative for passing these along!
