Welcome from our Principal

Greetings to all of our Van Asselt Families

Welcome back to school!

On behalf of the Van Asselt Staff and myself I would like to extend a warm welcome back to all our Van Asselt families and a special welcome to our new families joining us this school year. The Van Asselt Staff is busy preparing to kick off yet another successful school year. The beginning of a new school year is such an exhilarating time for students, teachers, and parents. The anticipation of meeting new friends, greeting a new teacher, and discovering all the wonderful learning releases an excitement and one that is unparalleled. We look forward to making this time a special experience for your child. We are too excited to begin our Van Asselt first year at AAA and look forward to the opportunity to greet each of you.  

These informations below are our school hours & bus information:

1. Busses will be arriving to school around 9:00 a.m at which time breakfast will begin.

We see ourselves as partners in the education of our students. As partners, we benefit from regular communication. Newsletters will be sent home each month and the staff will update their information on the web-page. This packet includes pertinent information that you will need to know and keep. Please make sure that you read the Parent Handbook it has all school dates listed. There are a couple of forms that must be signed and returned to school in the same envelop.

School Uniform Colors: We have school uniform colors. Any white top and any Navy Blue bottom. We wear the school colors Monday through Wednesday. We wear our Van Asselt Tshirts or sweat shirts on Thursday and free dress is on Fridays. Order forms will be sent home next week to order new Van Asselt T-shirts, sweatshirts etc. for you and your family. You can buy your child’s uniform colors at any department store: Target, Sears, Wal-Mart, etc.

I look forward to another exciting and successful year!
