Weekly Update 5/8

 Dear Wines Families,

As is the case at this time of year, my messages get a little longer. I sincerely hope you take a few minutes to read through all of this important information. 

IMPORTANT: Re-Enrollment for 2024-25

Each year, returning families are required to re-enroll. Today every family will receive an email with directions for enrollment for the 2024-25 school year. It is important that everyone do this as soon as possible. The email will come from noreplyenrollment@powerschool.com. These emails often end up in SPAM/Junk folders so please check those folders. The process does not take very long but this is critical to our planning for next fall.

Wines ROAR!

The Wines ROAR is almost here – happening Friday, May 31st, 5-8pm!  There was a lengthy email sent on Monday with everything you need to know for the end of year event.  HERE is a copy of that email. It’s a great way to celebrate the year, meet other families, and just have some fun. To make this an exceptional event for everyone we do need your help! Three easy ways to do so are:

• Donate to Classroom Baskets or contribute other items for the raffle

• Have your child decorate a cake for the decoration contest the day of the ROAR (to be used for Musical Cakes). 

• Volunteer for short (30 min) shifts at the event.

AAPS STEAM and CTE Expo Tuesday, May 14th from 6:00-7:30 PM at Skyline

What is the Expo?

The Expo is a great way for AAPS to showcase/show amazing work, through student work, capstone projects, and student demonstrations.  Think of it as similar to a band concert or art show.  It is also a great way for students to check out program offerings.  Additionally, it is a great way for our business partners to connect with AAPS students and families.

When is the Expo?

The 2024 AAPS STEAM and CTE Expo will be on Tuesday, May 14th from 6:00-7:30 pm in the Skyline Commons

What should I expect as an attendee?

Presenters will be showcasing student work, having student presenters, and may even integrate hands-on demonstrations.   Look forward to an opportunity to learn more about our PLTW and CTE programs offered throughout the district from the students and teachers who engage in these activities daily.

Noon Hour Volunteers Needed

Looking for a great way to spend some time at Wines and help our kids out in the lunchroom and the playground? We are looking for noon hour volunteers as our crew has thinned a bit temporarily with vacations and other commitments. This is a very fun job and now that the weather has turned a bit, it won’t be cold! If you are interested, please contact our coordinator Randa Choate at choate.rj@gmail.com.
