Beginning of the Year Assessments
Within the coming days, you will be receiving beginning of the year assessment data for your child. We will use this data to drive our instruction and as a baseline in measuring growth. We will progress monitor the students who are in need of it within the classroom setting. Others may be recommended for further reading interventions. As you know, due to the budget reductions FES and AES both share a Reading Specialist. Mrs. Woods will work with students who are in most need of reading intervention as indicated on a number of measures. This year, too, we do not have a Math Specialist to assistance in interventions. Therefore, the classroom teacher will be providing tiered instruction as needed within the classroom. Your support at home with number recognition, addition and subtraction facts, and follow up with homework practice will be very important. Together we will work to see reading and math growth on our middle of the year data.
Continued Notices:
We are still in the process of looking for recess monitors. If you or someone you know would be interested in working two and one-half hours daily from 11:20-1:50, please ask them to apply on the
District Website
The Giving Tree, from St. John Neumann Church is again offering holiday assistance to AES families in need. The Giving Tree provides 3 gifts to each child in the family and delivers the gifts to AES the week before the holiday vacation. Please email me at
