Letter from the Principal

Dear AEC Families,

Congratulations on finishing another school year! All our Preppies worked so hard this year and grew so much.  

As we look forward to the fall, I am thrilled to be returning for the first half of next year and continuing in my role as the AEC principal. Ms. Bridgewater moves into the Resident Principal role this summer and will fully take over in January when I move. I am committed to helping our team increase and improve communication with students and families on our Preppies’ academic progress and to build strong partnerships with our families.

Thank you for your continued trust in our team and ongoing partnership as we work together to support your children all year. We look forward to continuing our work together to make AEC a truly amazing place to learn and grow. We will remain in touch as we have continued updates on the details of what next school year will look like, particularly with our new building.  

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions you have over summer; we are more than happy to schedule a phone call or an in-person meeting if you would like to talk.

With gratitude and love,

Katie Kuzma and Phylicia Bridgewater
Principal and Resident Principal
