Asp Families,
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! We’re going to try to keep our weekly email short since we figure most families will be busy trying to catch the game (or commercials, or Taylor Swift):
Weekly Focus: Random Acts of Kindness! It’s one of our favorite weeks, highlighted by a lot of discussion AND action as it relates to kindness. Kindness is a little thing that can make a BIG DIFFERENCE and it doesn’t have to cost anything! We all feel better when we’re shown kindness and showing it to others. Talk with your child this week about the ways they are showing kindness to others, as well as having it shown to them!
Conferences: Spring family/teacher conferences will be next month, March 4, 6, & 10 from 4:00-7:30 pm. PowerPTC will open tomorrow on February 10 for families to schedule conferences during that time, so watch for an email letting you know it’s open. Also, please note that the focus for these conferences is on your child and their work with their classroom teachers. Special Education teachers will only be available March 4 & March 10, and only before or after your regularly scheduled conference. The same is true for PE, Music, and Art teachers as well.
PTAC: PTAC will be running the book fair again during conferences, so plan on that. They also have a meeting this Thursday from 6-7 pm in our school Media Center. Join us if you can!
Yearbook: It’s time to order this year’s yearbook! Here’s the link to order them online ($15). Select state, then city, and then our school to get to the Asp yearbook. The deadline for ordering is March 21, 2025. Also, for students to be in the yearbook we need to have a media release in PowerSchool. Most families do, but some either have it as a “No” or have left it blank. If yours is a “No” or is blank, your child cannot be in the yearbook. If you’ve seen your child on Instagram, they are good to go. If you’re unsure, connect with the office.
School/No School: We have a full 5 day week this week, bookended by the 100th day of school on Monday and Valentine’s Day on Friday. So it’ll be a busy week, depending on your child’s grade and/or teacher. Watch your email and their backpacks for classroom specific event information. BUT, next week we won’t have school on Monday, February 17th for Presidents’ Day.
Upcoming Family Engagement Events:
2nd grade: 1:30-2:15 this Friday, February 14th
3rd grade: 9:00-10:00 on Thursday, February 27th
Enjoy the game tonight, and we’ll see you all tomorrow!
Mr. St. Louis and Mrs. Knutson, principals
