Middle School Frequently Asked Questions

• What to buy before school starts?

BOOKS: Please use your course request sheet to order your books. Go to the Online Bookstore at the ASES homepage.

UNIFORMS: Swap shop will be open during the Information Fair from 2-4p in the Student Center. Parker Uniforms will be on campus for ordering, light shopping, and exchanges in the Auditorium during the information fair.

NO SUPPLY PURCHASE: School Supplies have been puchased by the school and are in your child's locker. This will be included in your Student Fee.

 If you have a change to your child's schedule, please email or call the middle school office. We will do our best to accomodate changes before the start of school. Note: if a class is full, we will be unable to fufill your request.

 What is ACTIVITY?

Activity is a scheduled time the Middle School has for various activities.
On
Mondays, we have a “Huddle in the Hall”, or other meeting venue. This is a meeting in the Hall way (or sometimes Student Center) for a brief meeting regarding the week’s happenings, upcoming events, basic announcements from Administration, teachers, and sponsors.
Tuesdays are usually spent with individual advisory groups. Each student is assigned in a group of 8-10 fellow students, and a teacher/coach/administrator advisor. We use this time for small group discussions on specified topics, events, and ideas throughout the school year. This is a bonding time, a growing forum, and a “safe-place” for subject debate.
Wednesdays are normally D.E.A.R. days….”Drop Everything and Read”. On these days, students will grab a book and spend the time reading in third period classes prior to the beginning of class time. Monday and Wednesday schedules are subject to change due to an occasional assembly.
Thursdays we attend chapel in the LS Auditorium.
Fridays we allow the kids to have a break, get a snack or drink, and just relax….BREAK.

Reminder to students and parents: First period is your scheduled Athletic and PE time. There is no open first period study hall; any exceptions are special circumstances only approved by the Head of Middle School.

• Teachers will be available to tutor students and may require students to attend scheduled tutorials as found necessary. Students are encouraged to ask teachers for help. Students should schedule voluntary tutorials in advance.
