ACES 2025-2026 Open House was bursting with excitement tonight! 💙💛 Our hearts are as full as those brand-new backpacks. See you Monday morning, August 18 — doors open at 8:00 AM sharp!

🚗 Drop-off & Dismissal at ACES 🚗We know it can feel a little chaotic out there, but these procedures are in place to keep everyone safe during the busiest times of the day—our students, staff, and yes… even your car’s bumper.

Thanks for helping us keep the traffic moving and the kiddos safe!

✨ Our youngest ACES learners (Pre-K) had their Open House & Back-to-School Night! They met new friends, got to know their teachers, explored their classrooms, and even got a little dirty on the playground. 🛝
