It's Homecoming Week! We begin our homecoming celebrations tomorrow as our Dawgs prepare to take on Marshfield Friday night at Kelley Field. We are kicking the week off with spirit dress-up days to go with our theme, "Aurora Music Festival!" Students, check your email to find out which teacher to check in with to earn points for your class in the Spirit Competition. We encourage the community to participate in support of the students of the Aurora School District.

Tonight's AHS Homecoming Bonfire has been cancelled due to the large amounts of rain saturating the field west of the high school. There is also another chance of rain this afternoon. We are working with the Booster Club to create an appropriate option later this week to help celebrate school spirit.

The 2023 Preschool-8th Grade Yearbooks are finally here! Yearbooks may be purchased at the building offices of Pate Early Childhood Center, Robinson School, or Aurora Junior High. The books are $20 each while supplies last. Pre-ordered yearbooks may be picked up at the building office of your child’s 2022-23 school.

​Aurora Police Department personnel requested that both Robinson School and the High School do a lockdown this morning due to their work in apprehending a suspect in a neighborhood close to the schools. Contrary to reports, there was not an incident inside either facility. The APD just wanted to make sure that all students and school personnel were safe inside the buildings. Thanks to the APD for always thinking about the safety of students and staff at Aurora R-VIII.

Aurora R-VIII students and staff will not be in session tomorrow, Thursday, February 2, 2023. While the sun helped with the well-traveled roads, the country portions are still hard packed/extremely slick and those that have melted a little will refreeze into significant ruts for tomorrow. This will slow down routes and could cause issues resulting in accidents during the morning hours. Tomorrow will NOT be an AMI Day. Please save your AMI Day 5 packet for a later date. The first scheduled snow make-up day on the Board-approved calendar is Friday, February 10, 2023. Students and staff will be making up this day on the 10th.
