A Message from the Principal

Dear Aston Families.

We just finished another great week at Aston Elementary and have a busy week ahead. There is an early dismissal on Oct 14th and picture day is on the 15th.

In Guidance class, through the Leader in Me program, students are working on the 4 Disciplines Mountain. This includes setting personal goals and choosing lead measures. All students will also be setting personal goals in their classrooms!

We will be working with transportation to improve the behaivor on the buses. Too many students are standing and moving around on the bus while it is moving.. This is unsafe behaivor and could result in temporary loss of bus privlidges. Please help us explain to your children why this behavior is unacceptable..

Have a great week! It looks like another week of varying temperatures. Please have students dress in layers!

Sincerely,

Susan Phillips
