    Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,

    The first day of a new school year… I am so excited to be working with you again and those new to AESM. I have missed you all.  

    To my students, I say Thank You for when I teach, I also learn.  This past year we all grew together during this difficult time.  We begin a new journey as we begin this school year.  There may be bumps along the way, but know it will be ok and I will be here to support and assit you through it. 

    To my parents, I say Thank You for allowing me to be your child’s teacher and working as a team.  We may have some challenges with technology and times, but I am willing to adjust my schedule to work with you and your child for class instruction/meetings and virtual hours where we can work together through email, text and phone calls.  I am here to support you. 

    Welcome, Ms. Barabara Toran, our classroom Para Professional.  She is a great asset to our classroom and students.  I apprecite her help.  She is always there to help the students.  

    Thank you for your continued support and efforts. 

    Mrs. Christine Lato
