Hello ACE families,

It’s officially Break Week/4th Week! This means there are no classes or newly assigned HLAs this week. Instead, you have two weeks to complete the Week 3 assignments, to catch up on missing work from Weeks 1 & 2, and to take a little breather. The building will be closed this week, so if you need any books or materials, please contact your Academic Dean to have documents emailed to you.

Hello ACE families,

Hurrah! We are going into the 3rd week of the continuous 3-week cycle that ACE follows. After classes are over on Thursday, you will have officially begun the Off Campus/4th Week (no regular school during this week!). This is the blessing of year-round school- built in breaks throughout the year! The off-campus week is a little breather for everyone. ACE is intense (I’m sure that doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone after your first month), and this pause from in-person classes offers families a chance to make personal choices about their Home-Linked Assignments for the next two weeks. Some families choose to complete their week of HLAs before the next Tuesday just so they stay “on schedule” and can enjoy a full week without any assignments. Other families like to take the two weeks to complete their HLAs, enjoying the less hectic pace (my personal choice!). It’s up to you as to which option you choose. Just remember to check over your HLAs and contact your Academic Dean with any questions as soon as possible.

And now that we’re nearing the end of our first three-week cycle, it’s a good time to reflect on this last month…How did school go for you? Are you acclimating after summer break or struggling a bit to get on a schedule? Remember, reach out- we are here for you!

Hello ACE families,

How was your first week? Did everything go smoothly or did you experience some road bumps during the week? Remember, while you are getting your footing, the most important subjects to tackle every week will be math and language arts as these are foundational to the rest of the subjects.

If you’re struggling and need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Academic Deans (typically your child’s main teacher for K-7 grade students; see contact info. listed at the bottom of this email). Send an email to let them know your questions and concerns. Attached to this email is a video from ACE veteran mom Mrs. Earlywine. This video explains the work box/pile system which helps students learn to be more independent in completing school work Also, if you are schooling at home but don’t have the luxury of a school room (not many of us do), you might find these ideas helpful for homeschooling in small spaces www.oakmeadow.com/setting-up-your-homeschool-space/ or My favorite resource over the years has been a hanging file box; we have several free file boxes available for pick-up by the office. These are super handy for organizing HLAs, answer keys, and papers you need to keep separate from the school books.

Hello ACE families,

Tomorrow begins school Week 1, and we are so excited to see your smiling faces! We have a great week planned with lots of interesting information, new friends, and more.
