Hey ACES - Beat the last-minute scramble! Help your kids transition from summer night owls to morning rockstars with this quick back-to-school reset checklist:
1. Reset the Sleep Routine: Shift bedtimes and wake-up calls 10–15 minutes earlier each day starting a week or two before the first bell.
2. Practice the Morning Run-Through: Do a trial run of the morning sequence—breakfast, getting dressed, packing backpacks, and stepping out the door—to catch time leaks early.
3. Talk, Plan, and Prepare Together: Sit down with your child to discuss expectations, review school schedules, and brainstorm ways to tackle any first-day jitters.

📚✨ A Beautiful New Addition to ACES Library! ✨📚
We are incredibly grateful and blessed to announce that the ACES Library has received a generous donation of three gorgeous, new wooden bookshelves from the Beatty/Scott family.
These shelves hold a very special meaning for our community:
🤍 They are dedicated in memory of Mrs. Scott’s father, Terry Beatty.
🎉 They are built in honor of Ella Scott, who recently graduated from SHS! Congratulations, Ella!
A massive thank you to Fred and Lori Woodruff of Woodschott Woodworks, who lovingly handcrafted these beautiful pieces. They are absolutely perfect and have truly elevated our library space. 🪵❤️
The next time you are in the building, make sure to stop by and check them out!

Amidst the hunt for the perfect backpack, color-coordinated notebooks, and new sneakers, there’s one essential back-to-school checklist item that always deserves an early start: making sure your child is up-to-date on their school-required vaccines.
⛏️ There’s gold in them there hills… or at least at Summer Book Club!
Students teamed up with the Pony Express Prospectors to learn about the Gold Rush and experience the excitement of panning for gold. There were smiles, discoveries, and plenty of “gold fever” as everyone searched for hidden treasures.
A huge thank you to the Pony Express Prospectors for bringing history to life and giving our students a hands-on experience they won’t soon forget! 🌟
