Welcome to September!

As we dive into our year, please remember our focus: BUILDING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER.

AOWL is your partner in addressing the needs and hopes for your child. To start, we are providing a Virtual Curriculum Night for each level. Teachers, specialists, and behavior therapists will be communicating plans for AOWL's learners. Curriculum Night is your chance to hear about the details around content areas, schedules, guidelines, and upcoming events. Parents will have an opportunity to ask questions through the Q&A feature or, if time permits, during the meeting.

Please contact Karla Przybylski at therapyservices@aowl.org for more information.

All AOWL parents and caregivers are invited to upcoming events with our Parent-Teacher Organization. Check out our Parent Calendar for information on how to join.

I invite any of you interested to join us for refreshments and conversation on the patio of Redstone in Eden Prairie. RSVP to Maureen at maureen.maher@aowl.org or call 952.737.6435

We’ve heard over and over again about the importance of community. Having a sense of community unites us. Being a part of a community can make us feel as though we are a part of something greater than ourselves. It can give us opportunities to connect with people, to reach for our goals, and makes us feel safe and secure. It's important for every person to have a sense of community. 

COVID has tried to put a damper on our sense of community, but at AOWL we’re trying to fight back. If you’re new to the school, you might not know that our parents came together last spring to provide Ms. Anita meals every week during her chemo treatments. I've seen it in our staff as they pitch in to cover for positions or people due to family health emergencies. I’ve seen it in our students who reach out to new classmates to make sure everyone is included during outdoor gym activities and classroom discussions. 

We purposefully work to build community with all of our stakeholders. After school enrichment programming is one way we provide community opportunities for students (sign up for enrichment programming through Smart Tuition), and our therapeutic and social skills groups is another (contact Karla Przybylski at therapyservices@aowl.org for more information). Being part of the Parent-Teacher Organization or attending AOWL events are ways for families to build community. The next virtual PTO meeting is on Tuesday, Sept. 14 at 3:30 pm. Join us here.

Thanks for being part of our community!

We are so proud of our AOWL athletes, and so excited to share the captured footage of this student's success during his 14AAA baseball team's championship game at Target Field on September 2. With this amazing hit, he brings his team, the Minneapolis Millers, into the lead!
