Students may eat a provided school breakfast in the classroom from 7:20 - 7:40 each day. Clean up is at 7:40, so please make sure your child has plenty of time to eat in the morning! We start our day with our morning meeting and announcements at 7:45 each day.

Parents/guardians may eat lunch with your child only. You will need a driver’s license or other form of ID when you check in at the front office.

If your child's transportation method is changing, please let me or the office know before 2:00.

As we all know, Texas weather is kind of crazy sometimes and we will be seeing some pretty chilly weather this week. PLEASE make sure you are sending your child to school with a coat. We still go outside for recess each day as long as the ground is okay and the “feels-like” temperature is not below 40 degrees.

Rather than wearing costumes and having Halloween parties, Aikin celebrates Halloween by having an All Science Day! We will spend the day doing fun science experiments, activities, and Halloween crafts.

~I know a few of you have already reached out asking if we need anything for this day, but as of right now Aikin is providing us with all of the supplies we will need! Thank you so much for being so supportive and involved! If you are wanting to send goodie bags or anything of that sort for our class, please feel free to drop them off at the office or send them with your child any day and we will pass those out on All Science Day! We now have 21 students in our class!
