Attendance is Key
Regular daily school attendance is a critical factor in school success. Students who are chronically absent from school are at risk of falling behind in academic learning. Poor attendance in early grades can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade. By sixth grade, chronic absence can be a predictor of whether a student is at risk for dropping out of school. Help us meet our goal of having every child in school every day. If your family anticipates an issue with attendance this year, please reach out to our office and we will make a plan to ensure your student gets to school.

Lunch Reminder
We have a no sharing food policy at lunch to support our students with allergies and ensure student safety. If you are visiting your child for lunch and are bringing food, please don't share food with other students. While we appreciate your kindness, we ask that you help us follow the expectations.

Holiday Shop
Each year, our PTO sponsors a holiday shop to give any students wanting to visit it a time to shop for their family.
The Holiday Shop will be taking place during the first week of December. The Shop will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on both Tuesday, December 3, and Wednesday, December 4, in the Makers' Space.
Purchases must be made with cash or by credit card with the cardholder present.
We need volunteers to help in the Holiday Shop. If you are able to help, please sign up here:

Spirit of Caring
Spirit of Caring - Each year, our school community focuses on supporting our students with community service projects throughout the year. We like to use our school acronym of ACE (Aspen Crossing Elementary) to also stand for Achieve, Care, Explore. We are passionate about helping our students grow in these areas to help them become well-rounded individuals.
In mid November through December 13, we hold a community service project called Spirit of Caring. Our school adopts several families during this time and creates Sign Up Genius forms to ask our community to purchase these items (ie clothing, toys, and other small items) to make their holiday season a little brighter.
We hope that you will help us with this project. You will be receiving a Sign Up Genius from your teacher including items we are requesting to support these families soon.

We thank you for considering this opportunity to support our students and make someone's day a little brighter.
