AISD and the RJES Space Club are hosting the first ever Community Telescope Night! This will be held this Saturday October 21st, 8:00-11:00pm, by the old airplane hangar. *Please note: the forecast looks good, but please keep an eye on AISD posts on Saturday should the weather turn and we need to reschedule the event.*
MPD will be blocking off a few of the entrances to keep everyone safe in the dark, and limit the light pollution as much as possible for optimal telescope viewing (please see the attached map).
We hope to see you there! 🔭

Attention RJES Families:
Due to the delayed start of the elementary school tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept 20th, the Elementary Bus Run will be delayed by one (1) hour, starting at 8:10am. Please add one hour to the normal pick up times.
This delayed start is to allow the elementary staff to debrief today's evacuation and coordinate messaging to students before they arrive. Please do not drop off students before 8:30am at the elementary school.
The High School and Middle School bus runs will NOT change and will start at 7:30am. School will start at the High School and Middle School as normal at 8:40am.

A few months ago, we posted a letter from our RJES Space Club looking for donations towards purchasing a telescope. We are happy to announce that we received enough funding to purchase an amazing telescope for our young scientists! We are so excited to be able to use this with our Space Club students, who are in the process of giving the telescope a Sm'algyax name! 🔭
A special thank you to all of our donors, including Sealaska Heritage Institute, for making this possible!

Attention AISD Community:
A friendly reminder that the Pre-K (smaller) playground at Richard Johnson Elementary was designed and intended for students ages 5 and under. We want to make sure the equipment remains in good condition, and older children using the playground can cause damage to it.
Please help remind your older students to only play on the larger playground during non-school hours. Thank you!
