Dear Elementary Parents,
This is a big week in our elementary school! Our playground is opening for children, unofficially, tomorrow, and will open officially at Family Fun Day at 12:00pm on Saturday, September 30th. Be there to join the celebration!
I would like to take a moment to thank you all for entrusting ACS with your children. We had a marvelous Student Appreciation Day on Friday, with a fun performance by Locotito, burgers and hot dogs grilled by Dr. Crouse and myself, and a movie afternoon. The day was a great reminder of why we educators do what we do, and how thankful we are for your support and for leaving your most precious children with us during the days. I would also like to extend my deep gratitude to our Parent Reps who helped us serve the hot dogs and hamburgers on Friday. The whole event went very smoothly thanks to their generous help!
On Tuesday, September 26th we are so happy to host our first Parent Coffee: CFG Edition. CFG stands for Critical Friends Group and is a tool that is commonly used in schools by teachers to improve their practices in the classroom. However, the structure is easily adaptable and useful for people from all walks of life, especially parents looking to improve their parenting skills!
This first Parent Coffee: CFG Edition will be focused on developing parenting skills and practices with the goal of raising independent and resilient children. Registration is required; we hope you will complete the form linked below and join us! The hour will start off with a 15-minute presentation on this theme by the Elementary Leadership Team, and then break out into collaborative groups to generate ideas and solve problems.
