Parents & Families, Our school year is already off to a great start! We would appreciate your help in getting into a morning routine. Students may be dropped off between 7:30am--8:05am, at either the gym or cafeteria (if eating breakfast). Beginning Monday, only students will be able to come in without being signed in through the security kiosk in the office. We will have staff at each entry to assist your child in getting to the correct place. Thank you for your support!

A BIG THANK YOU goes out to the Ottawa County Road Crew and the City of Commerce Staff that made the road in front of Alexander Elementary workable for our first day of school tomorrow. Parents and buses may drop their students off as normal tomorrow. Please just stay outside of the cones with vehicles. Teachers and Staff will be parked behind the school to allow parents as much parking as possible.

Reminder...AES Open House is this afternoon from 5-6pm. Parking is available across the street in the gravel lot, on the west side, and any side streets. There will be no parking in front of the school due to construction this week. Thank you.
