ACES Family Update
Published by Anderson-Crawford Elementary August 28, 2022
Settling in and Spreading Out
Hello ACES families,
After our first full week of school, students and teachers are tired but settling in to routines. We will pick it up Monday and continue to build stamina, relationships and skills.
The spreading-out refers to our new kindergarten class. I was able to reach out by telephone to all kindergarten families to discuss the transition between Wednesday and Friday morning. On Friday afternoon between 1:30 and 2:00 I called the families of all the students who will be moving to the new class and let them know personally that their child would be moving to the new class. If you did not receive that second call with that very specific information your child will be staying with their current teacher. The kindergarten teachers have the class lists if you have any questions.
We hope to see you all at our Open House program on September 7 from 6-7:30. We will have a short introduction in the gym for everyone, then teachers will welcome you to their classrooms where your child can show you around and show off their classroom and accomplishments. If you have children in multiple grades you should be very able to see all the classrooms during this time.
Thanks for all of the patience and feedback around dismissal. Remember to call Mrs. Higdon if your child will have a change in their going-home routine.
See you in the car line!
