Dear Families,
Welcome to a fabulous year at ACE!
We’re so happy to be working with you
this year! It’s going to be a
challenging, but exciting year. Our goal
is to make sure that every 5th
grader leaves us prepared for middle
school. It’s a tough year,
academically, but such a huge year for
your children, both physically and
emotionally. You are going to be amazed
at how much your child matures this
year!
As we mentioned earlier, this is an
extremely challenging year for
elementary students. We have high
expectations because standards are
extremely high in middle school. In
order to meet those standards, students
must be prepared during their
last elementary year. We are partners,
parents and teachers, in this endeavor.
Together we will ensure your child’s
success this year.
Communication between home and school
plays a large role in academic success.
One of the tools we use to ensure this
success is a weekly newsletter. This
newsletter is intended to keep you
updated about classroom activities,
volunteer opportunities, classroom needs
and upcoming school wide events. The
newsletter will be sent home on
Mondays. We also have a 5th
grade website that can be accessed from
the main ACE page, and is updated
weekly. You may contact us using voice
mail or email at any time.
Again, we could not be more pleased to
be part of you child’s school
experience. We know this is going to be
a fun-filled, challenging and memorable
year for all of us!
Sincerely,
|
