In music class, our students are learning rhythms. Keeping a steady beat helps build focus, listening skills, and coordination. Clapping, tapping, and playing rhythms also strengthen math skills like counting and patterns, while encouraging teamwork and creativity.

Missouri state law requires that students receive age-appropriate education on suicide awareness and prevention. ACES students participated in this important learning, focusing on recognizing warning signs, building coping skills, and knowing how and where to ask for help. We are proud to support the whole child—academically, emotionally, and socially—and to ensure our students know they are never alone.

New year, new skills! These students are proudly sharing their own compositions while mastering the art of cursive writing. Creativity, confidence, and beautiful handwriting all in one—what a great way to start 2026!
Always Learning—Together
Did your child get a technology device for a gift over the holidays? We are learning more and more about the impacts of technology on the minds of children. Our staff is committed to ongoing learning about how to best support today’s students, and we invite parents to join us in our current book study, The Anxious Generation.
The book highlights how childhood has shifted from real-world play and face-to-face interaction to smartphones and social media—changes closely linked to rising anxiety, depression, and disengagement in children and teens. While we often protect kids physically, fewer boundaries are sometimes set online.
The author calls for a shared effort: delaying smartphones and social media, creating phone-free spaces, and encouraging more independence and real-life experiences. Together, families and schools can help restore healthy development, resilience, and connection.
This is a MUST READ for every parent!
Happy New Year! Students will return to class Tuesday, January 6, 2026!

’Twas the day before winter break, when all through middle school…
Students were buzzing, teachers were smiling,
and the joy of the season could be felt in every classroom. ❄️🎄
’Twas the day before winter break, when all through the school,
Not a pencil was sharpened — excitement ruled!
Smiles were everywhere, laughter filled every hall,
The countdown was on… winter break for all!
Kindness is more than an action — it’s a way of life.
There students consistently show kindness through their words, actions, and heart.
We are so proud of the way our students choose compassion and respect each day. Kindness makes our school a better place !
Today at ACES, roles were reversed! Teachers dressed like kids and kids dressed like teachers—and we’re still not sure who enjoyed it more. Days like this remind us how fun learning together can be!
