Let's go shopping!

Our school store is full of great new items, from pajamas in blue-and-green plaid (naturally), "Go Team Green" and "Go Team Blue" t-shirts, and Vineyard Vines ties, totes, and key fobs. Isn't it time for a new water bottle for summer hikes? 

The store will be open on Thursday, the last full day of school. Can't wait? Click here for a price list and order form. Bring your form to the Lower School or Middle School desk, or email Kim Passero at kimpassero@aspencountryday.net or call her at 925-1909 x213 to place an order!

 
Your opinion matters: complete our parent survey!

Now that the school year is almost over, please take a moment to provide your comments and feedback. Here at Country Day we are all about constant improvement, and your input is essential. The parent survey is now open with questions about the school's program, atmosphere and more. 

The survey should take about 15 minutes.
All responses are confidential.
One or both parents in a household can respond. Please submit your survey before the last day of school. Thanks!


So far, 51 parents have taken the survey. ACDS = 151 households.

About next year on campus
     
An info session about campus changes coming next year had lots of details about plans for where classrooms will be located, parking, play areas, and more. Thanks to all who attended. Watch your email for a summary of all this and more details coming throughout the summer and next year.


Help wanted: Grade Ambassadors for next year. 
 
 
Grade Ambassadors play an important role at our school, building community in each class. Each year brings interesting projects and, most importantly, a chance to reach out to families (both new and returning) to create a happy, productive year for the children. It is a great way to get involved with ACDS on a personal level. Please consider it!

If you are interested in being a Grade Ambassador next year and working with the PIE Parent Association, please email carolynhines@aspencountryday.net
