📰✨ First Grade Fun with The Daily Corinthian! ✨📰
Our first-grade scholars in Mrs. Cathy Parmely’s class put their reading detective hats on recently during an exciting ELA lesson using donated local newspapers — thank you, The Daily Corinthian! 🙌
Students explored the pages of the paper to hunt for:
🔍 Digraphs (like sh, ch, and th)
🦷 Floss Rule words (double the f, l, or s at the end – like fluff, miss, bell)
🎵 Open Syllables (words that end in a vowel and say its name – like go, me, she)
💡 High-Frequency Words (words we see all the time in our reading!)
Using real-world text made learning meaningful and engaging — and our classroom sounded like a newsroom full of excitement! 📝📚
A huge thank you to our local newspaper for helping bring learning to life! 💛

Starting tomorrow, all school buses will stage in a new area before unloading, slightly changing the morning traffic pattern. Please review the diagram to see how this may affect your commute.
- Bus Staging: Buses will line up along the right side of the paved entrance/exit to the ACHS Baseball Field. The left side will remain open for ACMS car line exit traffic.
- No Parking Zone: Painted spaces between the ACMS car line entrance and exit must remain clear for buses to merge safely without blocking traffic.
- ACES Car Line will remain in the gravel road area, stacked into three lines. Pull forward to close gaps, keep lines short, and zipper merge smoothly into the drop-off lane.
- Traffic Attendant: Follow all directions at the ACES/ACMS/bus crossing intersection to prevent confusion or accidents.
Please stay alert, follow posted directions, and drive with extra caution. Student safety is our top priority.
Please remember one new lunch form per household is due for each school year!
Apply online at www.myschoolapps.com
Paper applications are also available in every ASD school office.
If you are certain your family does not qualify for free or reduced meals, please write “Does not qualify” on a paper form and return it to your school's office.
We are working hard to make certain we are serving all our families and need your help to see that the job is complete!
