Weekly "Newsletter" From Mrs. Rubert:

Hi Families,

Happy November! I hope everyone is feeling recovered from Halloween! We are getting into the busiest season of the year! I love this time of year with the students though!

Our next couple of weeks up to Thanksgiving Break will be getting back to our regular school routine and working through our CKLA Units! Right now, students are learning about the Human Body! Students will be bringing home their Human Body study guide on Monday. Please take some time to review it together at home—our Human Body Test will be on November 11th.

We’re also looking forward to Veterans Day, which is coming up soon. Our Veterans Day Assembly will take place from 9:00–9:40 a.m. as we honor and celebrate those who have served our country. The students always do such an amazing job performing at this assembly and it's so fun to see them up on the stage!

Looking ahead, middle of the year testing will begin after we return from Thanksgiving Break. More details will be shared as we get closer to that time.

With Love,

Mrs. Rubert

Meet the Teacher - Letter from Mrs. Rubert

I am thrilled to begin a new role this year at Aspen View Academy as your child's third grade teacher! I have previously taught fourth grade and kindergarten but third grade is my absolute favorite! I am a Washington State native and have now lived in Colorado for eight years! I received my bachelors degree in Elementary Education at Western Washington University and my Masters of Education at City University of Seattle. I love AVA! I currently have two of my own children in the building including my first grader, Scarlett, and my seventh grader, Ben. My oldest, Matilda, will be attending Colorado Early Colleges next year as a freshman! My husband Tyler and I enjoy jumping in the car with the kids and exploring in the mountains, heading to the lake for kayaking, or discovering a new hike! We have two cats, Kiwi and Henry, and recently adopted a new pup named, Buckley. I love country music, attending concerts, sunshine, being outdoors, traveling, and spending time with my family! I am so excited for this school year! Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me!
