✨ What an exciting morning at ACES! ✨
Our students were greeted with familiar faces, big smiles, and even bigger school spirit as local high school students and former ACES welcomed them to school today. There’s nothing better than seeing our community come together to support one another—whether it’s in the classroom or under those Friday Night Lights.

From trial ➡️ error ➡️ success, our students are proving that every tumble, test, and tiny spark of curiosity is a BIG step toward learning! 💡✨

🔬 Week #2 at ACES! 🎉
Just like scientists follow the scientific process, our students are diving into learning step by step:
1️⃣ Ask Questions – Why? How? What if?
2️⃣ Research – Exploring books, lessons, and hands-on activities.
3️⃣ Hypothesize – Making predictions in class and on the playground.
4️⃣ Experiment – Trying new strategies, testing ideas, and learning from mistakes.
5️⃣ Analyze – Thinking about what worked and what didn’t.
6️⃣ Conclude & Share – Celebrating successes and sharing what we’ve learned.
Every school day is like a science experiment—full of curiosity, discovery, and growth. 💡✨

🗺️ Our students are learning the power of exploration! By using and creating maps, they’re not just discovering the real world—they’re exploring their surroundings and environment while expanding their minds. Hands-on adventures like these help them think critically, navigate with confidence, and spark curiosity that will take them far. 🌍✨#ACES

BREAKING NEWS: (NOT REALLY) Senate Bill 68, signed into law by Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe on July 9, 2025, requires all Missouri public and public charter schools to ban student use of personal electronic devices, including cell phones, tablets, and smartwatches, during the school day. This means that starting with the 2025-2026 academic year, students will not be allowed to use these devices during instructional time, lunch, breaks, or transitions between classes. Th bill was designed to reduce distractions in the learning environment.

Missouri just passed a law banning student cell phone use during the school day… starting 2025-2026 school year. 😱

Avenue City School District’s response?

Cute. We’ve been doing that for YEARS.

Welcome to the party, Missouri. You’re only… what… a decade late? 📵😂
