Arete Charter Academy Home

This is the first sign up for TK thru 8th Grade fall semester enrichments for the 2025 to 2026 School Year. Enrichments will run September 2 to December 12 (no school November 10 and 11) with make ups December 15 to 19. There is also no school October 20 to 24 and November 24 to 28.

For ALL classes, please check your calendar to see if your kiddo is REALLY available on the days you select. For classes canceled by families with less than one week's notice, student funds will be charged, and a "to go" kit will be waiting for you in the school office. (Instructors have to buy materials in advance, and other kids could attend). If a class is full and you want to be added to the waiting list, please email Sarah at [email protected]. Please sign up for classes at least 48 hours in advance so we can check to make sure you have enough funds and that the instructor has enough supplies. We will try and add more sessions of the same classes if possible. If classes do not meet the minimum number of students, they will be canceled with a week's notice, and funds will be returned to the student's account.

From August 16-23, please sign up for only ONE Field Trip so all families can get a chance to attend. If you sign up for more, I will delete all of your sign ups and you can go back in and sign up for ONE. There will be many more field trips added to this list throughout the year. We are so excited to offer a new round of field trips. Please pay attention to age restrictions. All field trips meet at the location and parents drive/carpool with their children. An Arete teacher will meet you there. Please watch dates closely and make note of the field trips that require prepayment for adult chaperones. Please pay 2 weeks early in the Arete office with exact cash, check made to PRSD, or at Mealtime https://www.mymealtime.com/ ($20 minimum). We pre-pay for all Arete students so if you need to cancel with less than a week's notice, you will need to reimburse Arete for the field trip fee for your child. All field trips will start at the field trip location with check in 15 minutes before the start time. Families are responsible for making transportation arrangements for their children. Families typically join the field trip. Please email at [email protected] if you need to drop off and pick up your child.
By signing up for a field trip, you agree that we can share your email with Ashley Patch, our field trip coordinator, so that she can send you a reminder one month before the field trip.
Please email [email protected] to be added to the Waiting List for a Field Trip!

Thank you for choosing Arete Charter Academy as your children's school. We are so happy to have you! Please complete a separate form for EACH child. Please complete this form so we know you received it and have made a decision. Otherwise we do not know if you received it and we want to prepare teachers and staff for the school year. Thanks so much! Please complete the form, Arete Planning for the 2025-2026 School Year.

Welcome to the first district assessment schedule for the 2025-2026 school year. Our 2nd-8th grade students will be taking the NWEA Math and Acelerated Reader Testing. The directions are a little lengthy, but please read all the way through them and follow them carefully. We REALLY appreciate the people who sign up early and do not need reminders to sign up. That helps our office save a lot of time. Thank you!
