Dear Parents and Students,                                                             

Welcome to Anacoco Elementary School. We are looking forward to a rewarding school year filled with positive educational experiences! Thank you for continuing to support Anacoco Elementary School and for trusting A.E.S. as your partner in educating your child / children.  Excellence in education continues to be a priority for students, teachers, parents and our community. Because of this, we continue to achieve a high degree of success!

Please encourage your child to do his/her best each day this school year.  Educational research provides evidence that excellent attendance, punctuality, organization, on-task behavior, and teamwork are habits established in elementary school that follow students throughout their lifetime. Let’s work together to see these characteristics in each A.E.S. student.

A monthly planner will be sent home at the beginning of each month. The planner will list holidays, early dismissals, special school activities, report card and progress report dates, and other important information.  Please post this at home for your use throughout each month. The lunch menu will be on the back of the monthly planner. Students in all grades will receive a weekly work folder containing graded work and a weekly conduct grade.  Students in kindergarten will receive a daily folder. Please look for this folder to come home on the same day each week.

Students will no longer be receiving a homework planner but will receive a homework log each Monday compiled by your child’s teacher or team of teachers.   The homework log will give you homework and test dates each week.

Parents, if you would like to volunteer your time, we at A.E.S. would like to say “thank you.”  Your time spent as a volunteer is both needed and appreciated. There are many places where volunteers could be helpful to our students and teachers each and every day of the school year.  You will be receiving a Volunteer Form to complete and return to your child’s teacher. Remember, our school gets better and better with each hour clocked by a parent volunteer. If for any reason your child’s teacher is unable to utilize you in your child’s classroom, please contact the Title I coordinator.  We can easily find a place for you to volunteer in our school!

Your child is important to us at A.E.S.  We urge you to voice your compliments and your concerns to our teachers and administrators.  We are here for the children!

Sincerely,

Angela Schraven, Principal
