Colorful flyer from Alliance City Schools promoting “Shell’ebrate the Arts” on March 31 from 5:30–7:30 PM at AELS. The event invites the community to enjoy waves of kindergarten and 1st grade ocean-themed art. The design features beach and ocean illustrations including seashells, starfish, a crab, fish, and a sea turtle along a shoreline.
Did you know a math standard for 1st graders is counting to 120? Our students practiced their counting skills by creating 120 Day projects! Students counted out 120 items and displayed them on shirts, in bags or using other fun visuals. These Aviators are very creative!

Some of the teachers joined in on the fun by dressing as if they were 120 years old! Gray hair, walkers and all! #RepthatA

Our kindergarten friends at Alliance Early Learning School are hard at work running the AELS Post Office this month! ✉️📬 Staff and students can write letters to classrooms and place them in the mailbox located in the atrium.

Each day, one kindergarten class is responsible for postmarking the letters and delivering the mail throughout the building. What a fun way for our Aviators to practice responsibility while spreading a little kindness around the school! ✈ #RepthatA

For the 102nd day of school, our kindergartners had an extra special visitor! Mary Haynes is the 102-year-old grandmother of Kelli Berry. She stopped by to talk to the students about her life and how her childhood was very different than theirs!

The students were surprised to hear she didn't have a phone or TV growing up. 📞📺 They also learned about record players and what cars looked like when she was growing up. 🚗🎶

Thank you, Ms. Haynes, for stopping by AELS and sharing your history with our students! #RepthatAA

Stay safe, Aviators! #RepthatA

Hello again Aviators, With weather and overall conditions continuing to pose safety concerns, Alliance City Schools will be closed again tomorrow, Jan. 29. The cold temperatures, along with sidewalks and bus stops that remain buried under snow, are the main factors in our decision to close for one more day. We are hopeful to return to school on Friday, but forecasts seem to be changing by the minute now, so it’s hard to predict at the moment. If we are able to return on Friday, we know that some conditions will still be challenging. If you are able, we encourage families to begin planning and preparing by ensuring your child has a safe path to bus stops and is dressed in weather-appropriate clothing to stay warm during their morning commute. We will let you know by tomorrow at 3 pm whether or not we will be in school on Friday. As always, if you have weather-related concerns about your child attending school, you may call them off by calling the main office of their school. Athletic updates Tonight’s (Jan. 28) middle school boys and girls basketball games have been cancelled Tonight's (Jan. 28) varsity girls basketball game at Marlington has been cancelled, the game will be made up on Monday, Feb. 9 Tomorrow's (Jan. 29) middle school and Varsity girls and boys wrestling dual with Minerva has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 12 Tomorrow's (Jan. 29) swim meet at Massillon is canceled with rescheduled date TBD Practices are only permitted for winter varsity sports and various pre-arranged music/arts/drama programs. Coaches/advisors will communicate with students and families. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these decisions. We have a lot of winter left, so keep your hats and gloves nearby! Rob Gress Superintendent of Schools
