📚✏️ Taking care of the business of learning!
At ACES, we believe learning is serious business… but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun along the way! 🍎📖✨
ACES are ready to learn, grow, and soar! 🃏✈️
From sweet science experiments ,catching frogs, messy painting to reading groups, singing, and building teamwork—we officially survived (and thrived during!) our first week! 🎨📚🔬🎶 So proud of these amazing learners and the energy they brought every single day. Rest up this weekend! 🌟
The perfect end to an unforgettable summer and the 1st week of school! ! To wrap up our America 250 festivities and mark the end of the school week, we cranked up the music, cracked open hundreds of glow sticks, and danced away.
Week one has officially started.!
We’ve been busy tackling the classic 3 R’s—Reading, ‘Riting, and ‘Rithmetic—plus a whole lot more!
From science experiments and playground victories to creative art projects - we are filling up each learning day!
Today, our ACES School community joins millions around the world in honoring the legacy of Dolly Parton. Dolly was a fierce champion for early literacy through the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. By mailing millions of free books directly to children's homes, she gave endless young minds the ultimate gift of imagination and learning. As educators, we see every day how getting books into kids' hands early changes lives. Dolly believed that if you can read, you can do anything—and her generosity proved it. We remain profoundly grateful for her dedication to our students and literacy everywhere. 📚✨#LiveLikeDolly
Take a deep breath—we’re getting through the back-to-school hustle together! ☕

🍎 **If You Give a Teacher a Classroom…** 🍎
She’s going to ask for some bulletin board paper.
She’ll smooth out every wrinkle, add a matching border, and realize she needs a mountain of books for her shelves. 📚
She’ll hang alphabet charts, organize color-coded bins, and accidentally label her own coffee mug. 🏷️☕
She’ll set out brand-new crayons, write a giant **WELCOME!** on the board, and step back. The room will look perfect… but it will feel far too quiet.
And then? The doors will swing open. Footsteps will echo, backpacks will rustle, and the room will instantly light up with *your* bright, smiling faces. ✨
To all our amazing students: your desks are ready, your pencils are sharpened, and we are **SO** happy you’re almost here. Let’s make this the best school year yet!

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.
