Week three is in the books! We have had a blast the first few weeks of school! The students are working to establish their daily routines and learning a lot of new skills in their classes. Thank you to everyone who attended the Westwood Water Park Back to School Bash! It was a great time! We are hoping to continue this awesome tradition next year. Don't forget, we are out of school on Monday, September 2nd and have our second Remote Friday school day on September 6th. Lastly, thank you to everyone who attended our Donuts with Grown Ups event! It was a HUGE turn out and hopefully you enjoyed eating donuts with your students. Have a great extended weekend!

We have some more I Like It prize winners from this week! I Like It passes are coming in at lightning speed, which means students are doing a great job of following rules and procedures of our school. Congratulations to Adaline, Felicity, Nolan, Luke, Noah and Annabelle!

If you are needing to make changes to your student's transportation for the day, please make sure to email Pam Edmondson at pamela.edmondson@littleaxeps.org before 1:00 PM.

Our first attendance challenge has concluded and the students completely dominated the challenge! Students were tasked with achieving a 90% attendance rate for the month of August. That goal was smashed and the students finished with a 95%!!!! On Wednesday, September 3rd, EVERY student at LAE will get to throw a wet sponge at Mr. D to celebrate their victory! Keep up the great work at encouraging positive attendance!
