Parents,
We understand that this time of year is very busy with various activities and other things going on , so we have decided to cancel our New Student Orientation planned for next Tuesday, May 13th. We will look at any possibilities to reschedule in the future and share any updates.
Aiken High School’s Educators Rising would like to invite you and your children to enjoy “A Royal Family Ball” in the Aiken High School cafeteria. This event is for families with young children to experience a “prom-like” event, where they get to dress up in fancy clothes, dance to fun music, eat delicious snacks, make crowns, decorate “chalices,” enjoy other activities, and take pictures of the memories!
Tickets are available on GoFan.com see the link below and QR Code in the picture. Costs are $5.00 for each child ages 3-years-old to 12-years-old (children 2 + under are free). All children must be accompanied by an adult family member (18-years-old and up). Costs for adult tickets are $10.00.
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Christa Franklin (cfranklin2@acpsd.net), the Educators Rising adviser and Early Childhood Education Instructor.

Parents,
Please be aware of our state testing schedule. All 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be testing in May, and it is important that they are present and on time these days. Please try to avoid making medical appointments or other things during this time, so that students are here and ready to test! Help them get to bed on time and have a good breakfast (or be here for breakfast at school until 7:30!), so that they are set up for a great day and show everything they've learned this year!
