Greetings Amazing ACE Parents!
We want to congratulate all of our amazing Dancers for participating in the Care to Dance Leap of Joy Recital this past Sunday. Thank you to Ms. Jessica Barclay for working so hard with our young ladies!
Sadly this Friday is our last day for ACE After-School. We will start preparations for our Summer Camp starting on June 6. I've include a short video of our year in ACE, please enjoy it!
We are now accepting student reservations for the following school year. Please click on the form "2022 - 2023 ACE After-School Interest form and let us know that you would like to reserve a spot! We will have the same capacity as this year, but once we are full your child will be placed on a waiting list.
End of Year Celebration!
Come celebrate with us tomorrow at 4:30 in the school cafeteria!
Summer Registration is OPEN! We are about full! Still need 3rd and 4th graders!

1.Student Attendance and Participation!
****Effective Monday, May 2nd 2022****
Any student that exceeds 3 or more unexcused absences may not be allowed to participate in the upcoming academic school year!
Student absenteeism has become a very real concern. As students miss school and ACE more and more they fall farther behind and are always playing catch up. It is simply not fair to your children. We certainly realize that there are times that you simply do not have a way to pick up your child, or that there are family emergencies and what not, but it is the parents' responsibility to be in constant communication with their child's school and after-school program. Chronic absenteeism is the single biggest reason that children fail!
If you have questions or concerns please reach out to my office for assistance. Parents will receive a notice in writing and via email should you child be a child with 3 or more unexcused absences.
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
