Hello ATA Families & Friends

It is hard to believe we have just two weeks left in the school year. This time of year always brings a beautiful mix of emotions: the buzz of excitement, the pride of accomplishment, and yes, a little bit of bittersweet sadness as we prepare to say goodbye to our incredible 8th graders.

Our 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony is just around the corner, and I could not be more excited to celebrate these young people. Watching them walk across that stage is one of the true highlights of my year. They have grown so much, and I know they are ready for everything high school has in store for them. We will miss them dearly, but we couldn't be prouder.

At the same time, we are thrilled to welcome our incoming 6th graders next fall. A new group of students beginning their middle school journey is such a wonderful reminder of why this work matters so much. We cannot wait to meet them and welcome them into our community.

As we move through these final two weeks, please take a moment to check the school calendar for the latest events and activities. It is a busy and wonderful stretch ahead. As always, my door is open. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or just to say hello.

Take care,
Dr. G

Allergy Season

With the high pollen count and allergy season upon us, we are out of tissues. If you can spare a box to get us through the end of the year, we'd greatly appreciate it!
