🌟 **A Quick Car Line Update & Thank You!** 🌟
Parents, we want to start by saying a huge thank you for your continued support and patience as we work out the bugs in our car line routines. The safety and well-being of our students is always our number one priority!
To help keep things safe, secure, and running smoothly for everyone, we ask that you please review these quick updates:
☀️ **Morning Drop-Off:**
* **Form Multiple Rows:** To keep the morning line moving as efficiently as possible, please make sure we are forming multiple rows in the gravel pit as we wait to enter the elementary carline.
🚗 **Afternoon Pick-Up:**
* **Stay in Your Vehicle:** Please remain in your cars at all times during dismissal. We promise we are working hard to bring your kiddos out to you quickly!
* **No Waiting Inside:** For security reasons and to keep the hallways clear, parents should not wait inside the school foyer for students to walk out at 2:50 PM.
* **Urgent Needs:** If you have an urgent situation and need your child early, please do not approach the cafeteria or ask teachers directly. Our teachers need to keep their full attention on the dismissal flow to keep every child safe. Instead, please wait for Ms. Vandiver or Mr. Knight, and they will gladly retrieve your child for you.
* **High School Drivers:** If a high school sibling is driving their younger sibling home and walking down to pick them up, please remind them to use the sidewalks and never walk down the road.
Thank you for teaming up with us to keep our daily routines safe and efficient. We appreciate our amazing school community! 💙📚
✏️ Reminder: PTO Meeting Tonight!
We are meeting tonight at 6:00 PM in the ACES Cafeteria. Come learn about upcoming events and how you can get involved. We hope to see you there!

Now that our little ones have had a few days to adjust, car line drop-off is in full swing! Just a friendly reminder that to keep our campus safe and secure, the building is now closed to visitors during the morning, and all parents must remain in their vehicles.
Please don't worry—our amazing staff is out there smiling and ready to greet your kiddos right at the car! We will help them safely inside and make sure they get exactly where they need to be. We promise to take wonderful care of them. Thank you for an amazing start to the year!

ACES Families: Just a quick reminder that today is the last day for Pre-K parents to drop off students inside the building. Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, 8/4, access to the building will be strictly limited to students and staff. This policy is in place to prioritize the safety and security of our entire campus. We appreciate your cooperation and support!
🌟 **Good Morning, ACES Families!** 🌟
Today is **Day 2 of our Pre-K staggered start**, and we are excited to welcome our **Pre-K students with last names M–Z**!
To help ensure a safe and smooth morning, **only Pre-K parents are permitted inside the elementary building during drop-off.** After walking your child to the classroom, we ask that you please exit the building so our staff can prepare for the school day.
Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and support as we help our youngest Golden Bears have a great start to the school year. We can't wait for another fantastic day at ACES! 🐻💛

IMPORTANT AFTERNOON CARLINE INFORMATION
If you are utilizing the ACES afternoon carline, please be sure to follow the same procedures as the morning drop-off in order to effectively utilize all available space and avoid traffic congestion issues on CR 253 and CR 218.
Vehicles should form three lines in the gravel parking lot next to the baseball field. Please pull all the way forward to fill in as much space as possible. Teachers will be there to help direct traffic and communicate to carline staff to have your student(s) ready for pickup once school releases.
Following these procedures will ensure that we keep all involved parties safe and help increase efficiency in our afternoon pickup procedures. Together, we can make it better and safer for everyone.
Thank you for your help! #weareAC
We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!
