The water line pipe that was damaged today has been repaired! As such, school tomorrow will resume as normal. We'd also like to take a moment to thank you for your quick cooperation today! Pickup went rather smoothly despite the short notice, and we managed to get our students home in a timely manner!

Water Pipe Repaired!
Good morning, ASE Families!

We have to close the Mid/High School for the rest of the day because fiber optic contractors on Lomas Blvd cut the main water line to the building. For now, the Elementary School is okay. Please make arrangements to pick up your Mid/High student(s) from school as soon as possible. If you have students in both buildings, you may pick them up at the same time--the absence will be excused. We are going to allow our students to use their cell phones to contact parents so they know whether they are walking home or being picked up. If your student does not have a cell phone, we will have them contact you from a school phone. Mid/High bus students will not be provided transportation to bus stops due to the midday release. Elementary bus will still run as normal.

Lunch today will be grab and go so students will be available for pick up. The gates on campus will be open for dismissal. We will notify you ASAP about our plans for school tomorrow based on clearance from the plumbers and the Albuquerque Water Authority. Thank you for your patience as we work through this.

Respectfully,
ASE Secondary Administration

We would like to recognize our science teachers, Mr. Russell and Mr. Begit, and our students for taking part in the Governor’s STEM Challenge for the first time in ASE history. Our students did an amazing job on Saturday, representing us and bringing curiosity, collaboration, and professionalism to the experience!

This year's challenge question was, "As natural disasters continue to affect New Mexico (e.g. wildfires, floods, drought, heat waves, dust/windstorms, etc.), how can innovations in STEM help your community predict disaster, mitigate harm, respond effectively, and/or recover long term?” and our team did a wonderful job tackling the subject and presenting their findings!

Volunteer Opportunity
Ms. Kintz's class dove into their Chromebooks to explore the array of digital graphing tools as a major part of learning transformations. As they ended their transformations unit in 7th grade Honors, students were given a choice to show what they know. Students created digital and physical art/stories to show their understanding of transformations in the real world!
