One team. One vision. One Affton. 💜💛 Our school and district leaders gathered this week at the 2024-25 Admin Retreat to reflect, recharge, and reimagine what’s possible for the year ahead. The work we do together makes all the difference. #OneAffton #AfftonStrong
WEATHER ALERT: Due to the expected winter weather, Affton School District will hold a virtual learning day today, Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025.
🟣 K-12 Students: Log into Canvas for schedules and instructions.
🟡 Closures: Affton Early Childhood and Cougar Care will be closed, and all after school activities will be canceled.
🟣 Our Team: Work from home unless directed otherwise by your supervisor.
Thanks to the district’s AMI plan, this day counts toward attendance and avoids adding a make-up day. This is AMI Day #4 of our six (6) total AMI Days allowed. The school year will still end on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Stay safe and warm!
A huge thank you to these Affton High School students for bringing history to life in Mesnier Primary School classrooms recently! 💜✨ Their thoughtful presentations highlighted the powerful contributions and achievements of Black individuals throughout history, inspiring and educating our younger students. We appreciate their leadership and dedication to sharing these important stories! #OneAffton #BlackHistoryMonth
📢 Shoutout to these amazing 5th grade teachers representing Affton at the NCTM Conference! 🙌 Jacqueline Beyer and Taylor Pierce are sharing their passion for math education and innovative teaching strategies with educators from across the country. 🎉👏 #OneAffton #afftonlearns #afftonstrong
✨ Celebrating Excellence in Education! ✨
Last month, the Affton-Lemay Chamber of Commerce honored Exceptional Educators at their 32nd Annual Awards & Dinner Auction Gala. We’re especially proud of Anne Meyer, Gotsch Intermediate School fourth grade teacher and the Gotsch and Affton School District Teacher of the Year, for being recognized for her dedication, passion, and student impact. 💜💛
Please join us in congratulating Anne and all the incredible educators honored for their commitment to shaping young minds and making our community a better place! 👏👏👏 #OneAffton #AfftonStrong
This year, the summer school application is included in our annual Online Registration forms to save families the hassle of providing the same information in multiple places. For each student in your household, you will have the opportunity to select your interest in summer school as well as request summer bus transportation and summer Cougar Care. When you complete the Online Registration process, you should receive a confirmation email. The first round of notifications for Summer Journey enrollment or waitlist status will be sent home on April 11.
We still have a few more weeks of summer, but we can't wait to see our students on the first day of school on Monday, August 19, 2024! If you're ready to think about heading back to school, we've got you covered. Our Back to School Resource Guide includes the information you need to prepare!

🧡UNITY DAY🧡
Gotsch celebrated Unity Day by wearing orange, sharing kindness, promoting acceptance and encouraging inclusion.
The goal of Unity Day is to bring together youths, families, educators, businesses, and community members across the nation to emphasize the message that bullying is not acceptable and that all students deserve to be safe in school, online, and in the community.
