Open House Curriculum Nights

This week!  Tuesday, September 24, 5:30-7pm: Grades k-2

Tuesday, October 1, 5:30-7pm: Grades 3-5

 

Each night, there will be two sessions. Sessions are repeated for parents who have more than one child in a grade level span each night.  Parents only need to attend one session per grade level/child.  For example, if you only have a first grader, you can choose to only attend session 1 and then you are certainly free to leave the event. 

 

Prior to the classroom sessions, the AES PTA will hold a brief general meeting at 5:30pm.

Please note that the presentations are geared towards parents and no child care is provided. 

 

Open House/Curriculum Night Schedule:

• 5:00-5:30 pm- AIG Meeting for families of current 4th & 5th grade students (October 1st ONLY)

• 5:30-5:45 pm- General PTA Meeting in Gym

• 5:50-6:20 pm - Session #1 

• 6:25-6:55 pm - Session #2 (repeat of first session)

Volunteer renewal closes Oct. 1

Families and individuals approved to volunteer in the 2023-24 school year received a reminder email on Sept. 5 about the simple volunteer renewal process for the 2024-25 school year. Families must renew their volunteer registration by Oct. 1, or they must go through the entire volunteer approval process. Review volunteer renewal details here. If you were not a volunteer last year and would like to volunteer this year, you can sign up here. 

HELPS Tutoring Opportunity

Our school will be participating in the HELPS 1:1 tutoring model using volunteers. HELPS 1:1 is a WCPSS program in collaboration with the Wake Ed Partnership and Helping Education.

The HELPS 1:1 program equips students with literacy fundamentals in an individual setting. This approach has proven to be one of the most successful systems for improving students’ literacy skills. 

• Builds fluency and confidence. 

• Trained tutors adhere to a research-validated literacy curriculum. 

• HELPS curriculum is structured and scripted.

• Tutors can be easily trained to implement this program.
