May was Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. On Friday, May 29, 2026, our staff celebrated with a wonderful lunch sponsored by our teachers who represent these countries and cultures. It was a beautiful celebration. Thank you to all who contributed. You are all the best!
A big round of applause for Ms. Guevarra's Kindergarten class! Last week, the classroom was filled with smiles and syrup as the students enjoyed a special pancake celebration. This special treat was a reward for the students' continuous hard work and always doing their best. We are super proud of all of them!
4th Grade had a guest speaker, Ms. Sam Scher, give our students a presentation on geology. This presentation aligned with the Benchmark unit students have been learning about. Thank you, Ms. Scher, for the wonderful presentation. And, thank you to all the 4th graders who showed their Cougar Pride during the presentation.
We celebrated some students this week who have demonstrated an increase in their attendance this year as compared to last year. We are so incredibly proud of them!
Congratulations to our graduating Annandale Atoms! Former ATES Cougars came to visit their old stomping grounds while our students clapped and congratulated them through our hallways! We are so proud of our alumni!

At ATES, we're committed to providing every student with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive both during the school year and over the summer.
This summer, all students will be allowed to check out a technology device that will support continued growth. This will ensure continued access to tools such as ST Math and Benchmark Universe that allow students to work at their own pace and level. Programs like these adapt to each child's needs, providing extra support in areas where they're building skills and advancing them when they're ready for more challenges. This opportunity will allow students to continue their personalized learning at home, to develop digital literacies and important routines around managing their technology.
If you are interested in checking out a computer over the summer, please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/TDAcR38Ld1ro53gh6).
