Student Absences
If your child is absent from school then please contact the front office, send an email, or fax documentation of the absence to the school on the day of the absence. A parent note will also be accepted as documentation for the absence as long as it is turned in within five days of the absence (absence date included in the five day count). Medical notes are also accepted as documentation for any absence. If we do not receive notification from the parent then an automated calling system will be used to remind the parent/guardian to send the documentation to the school. The campus will document in its attendance records for the student whether the absence is considered by the district to be excused or unexcused.

A Poet (and now we know it)

by Olivia Fowler

Jillian Thornburg, a 12-year-old seventh grader at Aledo Middle School, likes to play video games--just a normal pre-teen, right?  Right, except that Jillian is also a published author.  This winter, Jillian's poem, "Colored Waterfalls" was published after placing in the Creative Communications poetry contest.  Her poem is about the magic of nature and how rare it is to experience its fantasy.  Jillian wants everyone to know, "Anyone can do anything.  As long as you are confident and try, you can do anything.  Anyone can be published."  Congratulations, Jillian--that's how to be the difference.

Spelling Bee Winners

This year's spelling bee was the longest in recent school history.  The students went 36 rounds, exhausting all study words and moving onto additional words.  Luke Shelton was the winner with the championship word, disembark.  Ibrahim Choudhry was the runner-up.  Congratulations to all who participated.
