Happy New Year to you all!!!
I hope everyone had a wonderfully relaxing winter holiday break. We are so happy to be back and working with our students and wonderful families! As we start the new year, I wanted to share with you, if you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. I have my email listed below and my direct phone extension listed at the bottom of the page. We are here to support our students and families each day. Working together is going to create the best experiences and successes for our students while at school.
Reminder, if you plan to pick your child up early for any reason, please call Ms. Barker in the main office in advance. We will have your child ready to go and let their teachers know to collect their assignments for the reminder of the day.
Quarter 2 & the first semester ends on January 13th. Report cards will be sent out shortly after. If you do not receive your child's report card and cannot access their grades online, you may not have paid your school fees. Please reach out to Ms. Barker in the main office if you have any questions regarding school fees. lindsey.barker@aeaohio.org
If you have paid your school fees and can't log into progress book, please reach out to me and I will be happy to looking into that for you or resend your login information.
Thank you for your continued support! Please feel free to email me with any question you may have.
Sincerely,
Ms. Amanda Anderson
Andiara- 1st Grade
Andiara is always showing not only her peers but all of her teachers what it means to be a ROCKET at AEA! She always is a caring friend first, followed by a hard worker who always excels at her assignments. She is truly a leader in and out of the classroom. Andiara makes everyone smile and feel important.
Elyjah- 8th Grade
Eli is always showing many of the Rocket characteristics. He is respectful to his teachers and others, cooperative, and prepared for class. He enters the classroom ready to learn and always gets his work done. Eli is always willing to lend a helping hand.
Joshua- 10th Grade
Joshua has demonstrated outstanding effort in his classwork and as a student council member this year. He has been willing to be involved with the planning of school activities such as spirit weeks, fundraisers, and the upcoming winter formal. He always gives 100% effort to his studies. He is a model Rocket who is always respectful and kind to others.
Safety for our students is our number one priority! As a team, teachers, parents, and administration, we can work together to ensure all our students are safe and accounted for at all times.
We are experiencing many situations where parents are just showing up to pick up their child because they were texted by them. The students are walking out of class to leave and not notifying anyone when their parent arrives. Students are attempting to walk out the main school doors without notifying Ms. Barker or myself due to parents arrival notifications via text message. This is a genuine safety concern and students must be signed out by a parent in the main office.
Please review our board approved 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.

Attendance
ATTENDANCE OHIO LAW REQUIRES STUDENTS TO BE IN ATTENDANCE EACH DAY THAT SCHOOL IS IN SESSION. Regular school attendance by all students is important. Research shows that attendance is strong indicator of academic success. Therefore, all students are urged to make appointments or complete personal errands on school holidays or after school hours. Students who are excessively absent (18+) days, both EXCUSED AND UNEXCUSED may forfeit academic credit for individual classes per semester.
According to Ohio law (House Bill 410),
Habitual Truancy is defined in hours:
a. Absent 30 or more consecutive hours without a legitimate excuse.
b. Absent 42 or more consecutive hours in one month without a legitimate excuse.
c. Absent 72 or more consecutive hours in one year without a legitimate excuse.
Includes Excessive Absences:
a. Absent 38 or more hours in one school month with or without a legitimate excuse.
b. Absent 65 or more hours in one school year with or without a legitimate excuse.
Any students who demonstrate Habitual Truancy or Excessive Absences will be asked with their parent to participate in an absence intervention program.
If your child will be absent for any reason, please call the attendance line and leave a message
- (440-471-4982 push 2 and then 2 again)
