A Message from the Principal

Dear Aston Families.

We start MTSS groups this week. Look for a letter explaining the group your child is in and the area of reading they will be working on. Some groups will focus on enrichment and others will focus on fllingl gaps in specific reading areas. These groups meet 4 times a week for 30 minutes a day, and each grade level attend MTSS groups at the same time.

The weather is starting to get cooler and at times, the classrooms can be chilly (and, sometimes they are warm). Please pack a sweatshirt. for your. child. Sneakers are always best for school. Crocks are allowed, but they are not ideal for recess and are not allowed in PE.

Have a great week!

Sincerely,

Susan Phillips

This Week's Letter Days
