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!

The countdown is almost over, and we can't wait to welcome our ACES Golden Bears back to school! Our staff has been working hard all summer preparing for an amazing year, and we're excited to begin this new adventure with your family. ✨
Here are a few important reminders for the first week:
📅 Friday, July 31

🛑 Pre-K students will NOT attend on Friday.
🧸 Pre-K Staggered Start

🚶♂️ Walking Your Child In
Kindergarten – 4th Grade:
You are welcome to walk your kiddos into the building this Friday (7/31) to help ease those first-day jitters and drop off school supplies! Because our hallways will be extra busy and buzzing with excitement, we kindly ask that you give them a quick hug, drop them off, and smoothly make your way to the exit. This helps keep traffic flowing and gets our school day off to a great start!
Pre-K Families:
You are welcome to walk your little ones in on your staggered start days (Monday and Tuesday). Wednesday, August 5, will be the final day for Pre-K parents to walk students inside.
(Please also be understanding as our parking lot will be especially busy during the first few days of school. We appreciate your partnership—these morning routines are designed to help our school day run smoothly and help our students build confidence for a fantastic year!)
Thank you for entrusting us with your children this school year. We know what a privilege and responsibility that is. Our commitment is to love them, care for them, encourage them, and provide them with an outstanding education in a safe and welcoming environment. 🌟
Here's to a fantastic year at Alcorn Central Elementary School—we can't wait to see everyone on Friday! 🐾💛
