A Message from ASA
Dear ASA Families,
We kindly ask that you avoid pulling your students out during lunch or recess, as it can be difficult to locate them during these active times. If possible, please plan pick-ups outside of these periods to help us ensure smooth transitions. Please see the bell schedule here for times.
Additionally, we request that water bottle drop-offs be limited. Our school has filtered water stations located throughout campus, so students can easily access water as needed.
Thank you for helping us maintain a smooth and organized school day!
