Big Eagle on Campus Program!

Alpharetta ES is launching a recognition program for all students promoting excellent attendance!

We know how your child's education here at Alpharetta ES is greatly valued and we want recognize and promote their commitment to attend school each and every day.

At the end of each calendar month, we will create a list of students who attended school every day, on time, for that particular month. In October, we had almost 300 students with perfect attendance!

Each student will receive a "Big Eagle on Campus" certificate congratulating them on their achievement. In addition, each student will have their name entered into a drawing to win their own plush AES Eagle. We will have 6 winners a month, one from each grade level.

Thank you for your commitment to excellent attendance at Alpharetta ES and helping your child become a "Big Eagle on Campus".
