Hello ACE families,
It was great meeting with you during AIMs week! We are officially beginning the new school year this week and have lots of great things in store for you! First off, occasionally throughout the summer and weekly beginning in September, following the school schedule, you’ll receive newsletters via this platform, JupiterEd. These emails will give you reminders, registration information about events/field trips, and other important details. Read on to find out about upcoming academic and extracurricular opportunities and more!
Returning families- Return books, unneeded uniforms, and HLA folders
If you haven’t returned your ACE books, uniforms, and/or HLA folders yet, please drop these off ASAP. Bring to the office or leave in the tall black mailbox outside the front door.
Uniform Order Form
If you don't need anything and kept last year's uniform, then you don't need to complete the form. If you need any uniform items, please complete this form by July 15, so we can get uniform pieces ordered. Don’t worry if you are not 100% sure of what size to order. We are able to exchange pieces throughout the year as needed.
Summer Math Classes
Our summer math classes will be held on Tuesday, July 7 and August 4, 9:30 a.m. – noon. No uniforms are required (just modest attire, please). We’ll have check-in tables set up, and we will help you locate your classrooms. Please bring your July summer workbook to class with you.
Summer EXTRA Support Sessions (2 in July & 2 in August)
In addition to the regular math classes, we are offering four extra/optional weekly support opportunities to help students stay on track with their summer assignments. Morning class sessions and afternoon individual tutoring sessions are available.
Students needing math or reading support can sign up here: forms.gle/5zGxaCnKptDy4uy69
Summer Field Trips
