Dear Families,
As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, we find ourselves at the final chapter of another exciting school year! Before we bid farewell and head into summer break, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude.
Thank You, Families!
Throughout the year, your unwavering support has been a pillar of strength for our school community. From volunteering your time to cheering on your child's accomplishments, you've played a vital role in fostering a nurturing and positive learning environment.
Wishing You a Fun-Filled Summer!
We hope the coming months are filled with sunshine, laughter, and unforgettable adventures. Whether it's exploring new places, building sandcastles at the beach, or simply enjoying quality time with loved ones, make the most of this precious break!
Don't Forget the Power of Reading!
While relaxation is key, summer is also a fantastic opportunity to keep those young minds active. Here's a gentle nudge: encourage your child to read daily! It's a simple yet powerful way to prevent "summer slide" and maintain reading fluency. Visit your local library, explore new genres, or have a family book club – make reading fun and engaging!
We wish you a safe, healthy, and truly joyful summer! We can't wait to welcome you back in the fall, rested and ready for another year of learning and growth. If you are not returning to ACS, we wish you all the best and hope that you keep us up-to-date on your child’s accomplishments.
Warmly,
Michelle Alzamora

Chances are your child's emotions fluctuate quite often! Over time, this may make you feel stuck as a parent around how to support your child and yourself in addressing emotional outbursts. It is taxing work. To possibly help, we've added another tool to our ES Counseling Website - Check out these Tools to Try posters you can print and hang in your home to remind yourself and family members that there are tools you can use. The tools are best used together, as a family - not just for the kids!
We are here and happy to support you if you have any questions or would like to discuss ways to create a calmer home environment.
