We hope everyone had a great weekend Memorial Day Weekend. There are only 3 weeks left of school and they will be busy! All of the events and activities coming are listed below. There are also grade specific field trips - those have been communicated by the teachers. Finally, we are holding a routine, off-site evacuation drill on Wednesday, June 1, at 9:30 AM. The students will know about this and the process is explained below. Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions!

School Safety
These days, school safety is on the minds of all of us. At Aston Elementary, we constantly review our safety plans and protocols, talk with staff and students, and consult with the Aston Police Department. Keeping your children safe is our number one priority.
 
Off-Site Evacuation
Every 2 years we are required to hold an off site evacuation. Due to the pandemic, we have not had one of these drills in several years. On Wednesday, June 1, we will participate in an off site evacuation. We will discuss this ahead of time with students. We will take all students and staff to the gym and then board school buses. The school buses will take us to Neumann University. Once at Neumann, we will get out of the buses, head into a gym, and take attendance. Neumann Security and the Aston Police will assist. Then we will head back to Aston on the buses. This is just a drill and the purpose is to make it something the students know how to do if we ever need to evacuate the building, for any reason.
