AABV Sept 30 - Oct 4 Popcorn Sales on Friday! As we enter the month of October, remember that the end of the first 9 weeks will be here very soon. We are pushing students to do their very best everyday. At the end of this reporting period, students will earn House points for A Honor Roll, A/B Honor Roll, and Perfect Attendance. They can also earn points for Station gains each month. After the 1st 9 weeks is complete, we will reward the top house point earner in each house. Friday, October 4th House Day We love seeing the students wear House colors on Mondays when different Houses greet students in the parking lot, but on "House Day" they can deck out completely in their colors! Let's see all the creativity and pride in their house this Friday!

AABV Family Memo September 23-27 Monday Morning! 9:00 am! All families are invited to come have coffee with our administration. This is time to just come and visit, get to know one another, and ask questions! Blessed With The Arts Friday at 1:30! Performances from: 1st grade and The House of Altruismo Essential Rules "When you cough or sneeze or burp, it is appropriate to turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Using a fist is not acceptable. Afterward, you should say, "Excuse me"." "Do not make your lips, tsk, roll your eyes, or show disrespect with gestures."

AABV Family Memo September 16-20 Thank you for attending Parent Conferences! Don't wait until it's too late! Unless your child has a fever or is throwing up, we need them in school! Remember, we even have prizes for great attendance! Essential Rules If you win or do well at something, do not brag. If you lose, do not show anger. Instead, say something like, “I really enjoyed the competition, and I look forward to playing you again,” or “good game,” or don’t say anything at all. To show anger or sarcasm, such as “I wasn’t playing hard anyway” or “You really aren’t that good,” shows weakness. •If you are asked a question in conversation, you should ask a question in return. Me: “Did you have a nice weekend?” You: “Yes, I had a great time. My family and I went shopping. What about you? Did you have a nice weekend?” It is only polite to show others that you are just as interested in them as they are in you.
