Permission to Stay For Games
Written permission to stay after school for baseball games must be brought to the office before school on game days.
Thank You From the Ashford Easter Bunny
Ashford School, you can be extremely proud of the seventh and eighth grade students that volunteered to help with the 40th Annual Ashford Easter Egg Hunt! The students volunteering were hard-working, good listeners, and a complete joy. The very best part was the way the different generations -- from tiny tots to eighty year olds -- worked together to make this year’s hunt a success. A new respect for each generation was established by all. We could not have completed all that needed to be done as quickly, competently, and efficiently without the generous help of the seventh and eighth grade students.
The following students are to be commended for their help:
Colin B., Tyler H., Gavin M., Michelle R., Jennie R., Sarah B., MariElle P., Erick B., Justin G., Brandon B., Kelly P., Chris P., and Kaitlyn L.
Thank you.

Principal Johndrow's Message
March and CMT’s have flown away! We are so appreciative of all the encouragement, the consistent bedtimes, the special breakfasts that so many of you provided for your children. In addition to yearlong CMT practice, one of the areas of focus was ways of motivating kids to do their individual best. It is universally accepted that one third of CMT scores are impacted in a positive way by the motivation a student has to do well.
We worked hard at motivational strategies this year and have evidence of initial success in this wonderful letter from a parent.
Dear Teacher,
“Poor David! He is very unhappy about missing school today because he did not want to miss the CMT’s. He managed to get dressed, said he would try to eat a little something at breakfast club, made it ¼ of the way to the bus stop and then stopped. He said that if he did the CMT’s this morning he would get all the questions wrong.
I think one reason David tried so hard to make it to school is those stars you have been giving the children. David is very, very proud of his and has them displayed on our new refrigerator. He tell us about the CMT’s each day and has enjoyed all of the (except the writing prompt.) Thanks for helping make them seem fun instead of something to worry about.” A Parent
