A Weekly Update for Acton Elementary Families
Acton Update - 9/2/22
This morning we had our first AES Huddle of the school year! One of our main goals this year is togetherness - creating meaningful opportunities to be together as a campus! These monthly meetings are for FUN and for culture building! Today we reviewed our AES mission, we learned the GHS Fight Song, and our teachers competed in some minute-to-win-it games! We've been working HARD on procedures these first few weeks!
When you have a chance, ask your student about the golden tray award for cafeteria behavior, the megaphone award for assembly behavior, and the spirit stick award for hallway behavior! Our students are working hard to earn these fun prizes!
Next Monday is LABOR DAY - staff and student holiday! We hope you all enjoy your time together during this long weekend!
Next Tuesday (9/6) is our 5th Grade Parent Meeting/Camp Grady Spruce informational meeting. The meeting will start at 6:00 and should last 45 minutes to an hour. Information from the meeting will be sent out electronically for those unable to make the meeting.
Next Thursday (9/8) is Chick Fil A Spirit Night! 20% of the proceeds go back to AES and the class that buys the most cookies wins a nugget party!
Our AES Spirit Store will close next Thursday (9/8)! If you'd like to order new merch, make sure you get your orders in by then! Check out the online store HERE.

ATTENTION!!! Important Information about Grandparent's Day!
All AES visitors will be required to scan a valid Driver's License before entering the building. We are utilizing a "Fast Pass" for Grandparent's Day. This will allow the process of checking into our building to be faster and more efficient for you, while keeping the safety and security of our students and staff the top priority. Here is a link to the FAST PASS. If you've never scanned your ID at Acton Elementary before, you are more than welcome to come by any day before 2:00 PM.
