ACE PTA’s Annual Gala
We are so excited to invite all of the ACE community to our adults only Gala event which will be held on Friday, February 24th from 6:30pm-11pm at Poppy Ridge Golf Course. Tickets are now on sale and include cocktail hour (no host bar) with hors d'oeuvres, dinner, dj, and dancing. This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year and it is a wonderful way to spend the getting to know your fellow ACE community as well as raise fund for our school. This year’s theme is Nashville Nights which is just a fun way of saying come dressed and ready to have a good time. Tickets & Sponsorships are available through the link.
Parking Lot Volunteers
We are looking for parents to help support the safety in the parking lot during drop off. Parent volunteers would help with safely crossing students and making sure students are getting dropped off in the one lane. Please consider signing up:
Announcments/Reminders
Kindness Week
This coming week is Kindness Week through the Great Kindness Challenge. Listed above you will find the spirit days. We will do activities in school and during lunch to promote kindness. We also challenge families at home to complete acts of kindness. You can use the flyer below to check off each time someone in the household does a kind act. Together we can all be kind.
Student's Personal Devices
Many students received cell phones or Apple Watches over break. As a reminder, the handbook states:
CELL PHONES & ELECTRONIC DEVICES
While California allows students to bring cell phones to school, the phone must
remain turned off during school and in a backpack or another safe place in the
classroom. Cell phones/electronic devices should not be on students. Students
who take cell phones/electronic devices out to the playground run the risk of
losing them outside.
Students should not be using cell phones/electronic devices during recess or
lunch. Items used for instructional support will be the responsibility of the
student. Students who use cell phones/electronic devices during school hours will
have their phones/devices confiscated and held in the office for a parent to pick
up.
Take care,
Andrea Tapia
Lunch Bunch- WE NEED YOU!!
We need YOU! We are still short-staffed during our lunch time each day and need additional volunteers to make our lunchtime run smoothly. Many times our younger students need support peeling oranges or opening packages and additional volunteers are greatly needed.

BAG YOUR BOOKS!
With rainy weather upon us, we are starting to see WET library books returned to the library every day! Please provide your Wildcat with a large plastic bag to protect their library books from the elements (and yourself from pesky library fines). 2.5 gallon zip-top bags work beautifully for this purpose. If you prefer, bags can be purchased in the library for $1 each. Thank you!
