YOM KIPPUR - NO SCHOOL MONDAY!

We will see you bright and early Tuesday morning back at ASA!

LATE PICKUP PROCEDURES AND FEES

As a reminder, all students must be picked up or leave campus within 15 minutes of their last class ending. Any students who are still on campus at that time will be directed by staff on duty to the front office to sign in, and a parent must come to the front office to sign them out. Your student will be placed in Homework Hour and assessed a $10 fee per occurrence. Anyone ending class by 4:20 must be picked up by 4:30p or they will be assessed a $65 fee per occurrence.

Boys & Girls Club Gabel Branch (15th Street & McDowell) bus pickup is between 3:30-4:00pm on ASA's campus. Students wait in the main office until the bus driver buzzes at the gate. The BGC is $60/month/child after a $30 annual membership fee (financial aid is available for those who qualify) and comes with a snack and dinner. Teens are free after the $30 membership fee. For more information, please view "Extracurricular Happenings" below!

LUNCH UPDATES

Lunchtime Seating: Parents/Guardians, please talk with your students about how they can be kind to others during lunch. We have had some issues these past few weeks with students "reserving" tables at lunch or kicking students out of their seats saying "that's our table!" We have been doing our best to monitor and remedy this issue but we need your help from home, too. We want our students to enjoy their lunch peacefully. We know we can pull together as a community and share the spaces. With the completion of our new amphitheater in sight, we look forward to offering more shaded seating.

No more lunch treats! A parent/guardian can drop off a lunch, however, sweet treats/celebratory desserts, balloons, gift bags, etc. are not allowed in classrooms or at lunch. we will hold these items in the front office to be picked up at the end of the day to be enjoyed at home. a great way to celebrate milestones such as birthdays is by singing to friends!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

We are still looking for one more volunteer for Photo Retake Day on Wednesday, September 27th

SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUBS

Sometimes the right book is all it takes to nurture a child’s love of reading.  That’s why we will be participating in Scholastic Book Clubs again this school year.  Scholastic provides an affordable and convenient way to purchase books.

You can order books at any time from any flyer/book club on the scholastic website. Please know the only way your child can order books is online. I will not be accepting any order forms, money, or checks. I will happily deliver ordered books to your student as soon as books are received.  Orders typically take about two weeks.  You can also order for additional family members.

Ordering online is fast and convenient.  See the steps below.

Don’t hesitate to email me with any questions,
