Thank you to all the families who came out last night for our Family University! We hope you found the sessions informative in supporting your child's success in school. A special thanks to those who attended the FLO (Family Led Organization) session. It was great to see so many school community members coming together and discussing how best to address key areas of engagement, communication, and more. Events like these wouldn't be possible without our hardworking staff who organized everything behind the scenes, handed out food, and presented the informative sessions. We're grateful for their efforts in making this event a success and bringing our #ABSSCommunity together. Thank you to everyone who participated and we look forward to seeing you at the next one!

We are relieved to learn today that all students have been released from the hospital following the ABSS bus wreck last week.  We want to thank our dedicated B. Everett Jordan Elementary administrators, staff, and our District support team including counselors, social workers, and nurses for all they've done to support these students since the wreck.   Anytime an incident like this occurs, children naturally have questions and concerns. Our caring staff has worked diligently to address students' worries, even those not directly involved in the accident, to ease any fears they may have.  As a District, we are committed to continuing to provide support to the injured students as they return to the classroom.   We once again want to thank the first responders, volunteers, and compassionate community members who quickly came to the aid of our students. Since the wreck we have learned of more selfless individuals who stopped to assist the students that day. For that we are deeply grateful.  Dr. Butler, ABSS Superintendent    Sandy Ellington-Graves, Board Chair  ABSS Board of Education

Students at Eastlawn Elementary received a special visit today from firefighters at the Burlington Fire Department. 🚒 They spoke to the kids about how they work to fight fires and keep our community safe. A highlight of the visit was when the firefighters showed off their protective gear, including their fire-resistant suits, helmets, masks, and breathing equipment. While it may look big and scary to little eyes, the firefighters explained how each piece has an important purpose in protecting them from smoke, fire, and falling objects. 🔥 #ABSSCommunity
