We've had a blast seeing our students back in class today! We're so glad to have everyone back and can't wait to see the great things in store for this year!
While we work on getting uniform shirts in order, we do ask families to have their students wearing khakis with their uniforms. The student handbook specifies that khakis cannot be in varying styles, so be sure your student isn't wearing cargo style or improper length pants. Thank you!
If you have signed up for busing, please make arrangements for your student's transportation for the first few weeks of school!! Due to a lack of drivers, we are NOT able to provide busing until drivers are prepared in roughly 3 weeks. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to comment and coordinate carpool options as needed.
Let's keep in touch!
Whether it's on socials or our website, there's more ways to get in touch with ASE than you may realize! We'll always try to get back as soon as possible - almost always in less than a day! Let's keep talking - what are you most excited for this school year?
What better way to get ready for a new year than open house! Tour the school, meet teachers, and get ready for a new year next week on August 1st and 2nd! Families should bring supplies and arrive during their specified time to mind parking. We can't wait to see you there!
Plan ahead and register for after school with Rio Grande Educational Collective! It's a fantastic opportunity for kids aged 5-12 to get involved in exciting and educational activities and get homework help. Register online or read more at www.rgec.org !
Let's plan for a brand new school year! This week, we'll talk about things YOU can prepare for a wonderful return! To start, make sure you have your transportation lined up!
As with previous years, you can drive or carpool using our traffic plan to keep things quick in both the mornings and afternoons. Always be sure to follow traffic safely!
Alternatively, and new to ASE this year, you can sign up for one of two bus stops! One is at Silva Lanes, the other at Manzano Mesa Park. We do still need bus drivers, so please apply on our website if this opportunity is one you're interested in!

Happy Summer, ASE! We're excited to see you back on campus in only two more weeks! In the meantime, we've got our Friday Phoenix to keep you covered on everything you may need to know before coming back! From orientation and open house to buses and after school, we have everything at the ready!
We are aware that many families have reported they did not receive the newsletter in their emails, which we are urgently working to fix and resend ASAP. In the meantime, our newsletter is always available on our website at https://www.abqse.org/o/abqse/page/friday-phoenix !
The Black Education Act Bureau is hosting their Back to School Kickoff to help students start off a great school year! They will provide backpacks, school supplies, and community resource information. Stop by Taylor Park (7701 Indian School Rd.) on Sunday, Aug. 4th from 1-3pm!
As we start to roll into the new year, our Governing Council is having a special meeting next Saturday, July 27th at 10am! As always, these meetings are open the public for speculation and contribution. What better way to get involved with our school! We hope to see you there!
Our school's IT department has been hard at work getting prepared to distribute Chromebooks to all students grades 5-12 for the 2024-2025 school year. These Chromebooks will be assigned to the student, allowing them to take it home and make use of it outside of the classroom. To make the process as efficient as possible, distribution of the laptops are expected to take place on Saturday, August 10th in the gymnasium. Each student will need 3 forms filled out by them and a parent/guardian. The forms can be found on our website under "Documents > Forms > Chromebook Agreements" or in the following link: https://www.abqse.org/documents/forms/chromebook-agreements/651301
Another reminder will be sent out in July as preparations to begin the new school year draws nearer and nearer.
In the meantime, Enjoy your summer!
