We are not done with the staff announcements- we also have these updates to share:
Victoria Harp: Victoria, our current 4th grade literacy teacher is shifting from a full time role to a part time. Luckily, she will be staying in her current position, just going part time. She and Ms. Van Sant will be splitting the 4th grade literacy role!
Brianna Knight: Brianna will be joining Asbury starting at the end of this year as a Dedicated Adult Support for one of our students in kindergarten. She comes to us with educational experience and a lot of passion to support her community!

Drop Off in the Morning Reminder
As a reminder, you can drop students off starting at 7:30 each morning. If you are with your child, you can most certainly come earlier, but if you are dropping them off without you there, then you will need to wait until 7:30 to ensure safety, as we have staff outside supervising starting at 7:30.

Early Bird Registration: Early Bird Registration takes place May 5 – May 23 and allows for families to solidify their enrollment with school. If you have any questions, reach out to Enrollment Services.
