Building a Thriving Learning Community!
December 16, 2019 Principal Notes
I hope everyone ENJOYS their time with family and friends this winter break. We will look forward to seeing your children back on TUESDAY, January 7th.
We have many things to be grateful for as 2019 comes to a close and we begin a new decade. I'm thankful for being at Aspen and the wonderful staff, students, and families. A special thank you to all the family members that support their children's education by volunteering through PTO as well as in the classroom. Also, thank you for attending special events such as Taste of Learning. It means a lot to your children.
Below is some information on children and road safety. Please take a few moments to review the basics with your child.
The new playground equipment is open for play and the students are really enjoying it. Pictures are below.
I wish you well!
