February 2023
Hello AEA Families,
We have officially made it to FEBRUARY! Please read carefully for new event information, new clubs, and important reminders!
Important Reminders:
Please review our cellphone policy with your child. Cellphones need to be off and turned into their homeroom teacher each morning. Airpods or other wireless headphones are also not allowed to be used during the day.
If students need to call home or leave for any reason, they are to do so using the phone in the offices. Students have been informed they are welcome to do so at any time and for any reason. This support and communication is going to be most effective to ensure your child is safe at all times and we are aware of their absence for the reminder of the day.
Students are allowed to bring in backpacks, purses, bags, and hats to school. However, all of these items need to placed in their locker each morning. Please review the Parent/Student Handbook for further information on our policies and expectations..
Thank you for your continued support! Please feel free to email me with any question you may have.
Sincerely,
Ms. Amanda Anderson
