REGISTRATION MAKE UP

Happy Friday, ASA pigeons! A note of gratitude to all the families who attended registration days this week and New Familiy Orientation; we enjoyed meeting your in person and are excited to welcome you to our community.

If you have not yet attended Registration Days, please attend the Registration Make-Up Day on Monday, August 14 any time between 8:30am-11am to turn in your registration paperwork that was sent out via USPS and email.

Yearbook/Student ID photos will be taken and you will pick up a packet of essential information for the first day of school, including your student's class schedule!

REMINDER: Please don't forget to read through the handbook for important policy updates, including attendance, late work, and cell phone/computer use.

YMCA & Boys and Girls Club

Several ASA families use the Lincoln Family Downtown YMCA and the Warner & Shirley Gabel Branch of the Boys and Girls Club as after school care for their students. Both locations have great programs for school-aged kids and offer tuition aid for those who qualify. If you are interested in your child attending, you can sign up directly with the YMCA or the BGC. If we have enough students attending, the facilities can offer transportation!
