Club meets every Wednesday that we have a full day of school.

The first semester ends on Thursday, Feb 1! Please encourage your students to talk to their teachers and make up all their work so they can finish strong and earn their credits. If you'd like to know how your students are doing to help support and encourage them, reach out to their Focus teacher to check in.

If you'd like help contacting your child's focus teacher or learning how to log into Schoology to track their work and their progress, the ACES Family Engagement Liaison can help: contact Julie Hills at HillsJB@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

Congratulations to Maura Schapper's focus class for bringing in the highest number of food drive items before the winter break! And thank you to ALL families that contributed. This food will go to stock the Family Engagement Liaison resource room and fill weekend and emergency food bags throughout the spring.

If your family could use one-time or regular food support in the form of shelf-stable, easy-prep pantry items, please fill let us know by filling out the ACES weekend food support form and our family liaison will be in touch.

The monthly senior family meeting will be held on on zoom both January 16th at 7pm or January 17th at 1pm (same content, two different times). The FAFSA has opened, and we will be going over how to make an FSA ID and reviewing the form together to answer any questions. We will also cover scholarship opportunities for a variety of post-secondary options. Your student is welcome to join (but not required).

Congratulations to our ACES November/December students of the month: Katelyn, Alix, and Jasmine! Each month, students are selected for standing out from their peers in areas such as preparation, respect, leadership, compassion, excellent or improved attendance, excellent or improved academics, or being an inspiring role model to the ACES community.

In January, Club continues to offer options for students to cook, sew, play video games and music, and hang out with friends after school. Several students are also starting a dance team that meets during Club on Wednesdays. All ACES students are welcome! \

Club meets every week when there is a full day on Wednesday, from 2-4pm, with an activity bus to take students home after.

Last Thursday, Emily’s Biology class dissected cow hearts and lungs to help students learn more about the circulatory system! The hearts came from Andal’s Meats in Mt. Vernon, and students had a wonderful hands on learning experience.
