Last night, we had a great PTO meeting to kick off the 2024-2025 school year. Thanks to everyone that came out to share their ideas and suggestions. We have a great list of ideas for this school year and can't wait for everyone to be involved. If you have ideas or suggestions, please email them to aespto24210@gmail.com. We are planning to meet again before school starts and we hope you can join us. Please help spread the word to other AES families and be sure to like our new AES PTO Facebook page to keep up with all the things we have planned.

Be sure to take a few moments and read this article, written by our Superintendent @WashCoSuper, that shares some very real and concerning challenges for many students in Southwest Virginia. Due to a "lack of equal access, an inequitable field of play has been inadvertently created in Virginia."

Today we honor those in our buildings who take care of SO MANY things. Where would we be without the SUPERHERO Nurses that are in our schools who care for our students on so many levels? Thank you to the amazing WCPS School Nursing Staff! #WashingtonWay @WashCoSuper


Families,
We often take for granted the time that teachers spend with our children. However, it is in those moments that lifelong lessons are learned that leave a legacy. Please reach out to your child’s teachers to thank them for the legacy they are helping you build through empowering our most valuable resource; our children.
Thank you,
Dr. Perrigan


It will come as no surprise to anyone associated with Abingdon Elementary School that Laura Keffer received the Washington County customer service award! We are so grateful for everything she does for our school!



Tonight, the Washington County School Board recognized both students and staff for their excellence. From Fine Arts, to Global Bi-Liiteracy Excellence, to the first ever Washington Way Award recognizing outstanding support staff. #WashingtonWay @WashCoSuper #WCPSBest





Tomorrow is School Lunch Hero Day! Take this opportunity to show them how much you appreciate their dedication to our students each day!
