Trick or Treating 2024

On, Thursday, October 31st all kids on campus can dress in their Halloween costumes and will Trick or Treat around the playground at 11:30. All students who are not on campus that day may sign up to come Trick or Treat with their parents. Please reserve a spot for each kiddo who you are bringing on campus that day! Please do not "show up" that day if you are not signed up or we will not have enough treats/toys. We need volunteers and treats or toys for the Trick or Treating. There are two parts to this Sign Up.
Part 1- Sign up to bring in your students if they do not normally attend school on Thursdays. Part 2- Sign up to come in and hand out 40 treats/toys. This only works if people come in to help that day! All treats should be absolutely 100% NUT FREE. Please sign up for something if you plan on attending! Even if your kids normally attend on Thursdays, we still need people to bring treats and pass them out!

Field Trips 2024-2025 School Year

We are so excited to offer a new round of field trips. Starting August 26, you may sign up for as many as you would like. Until then, please choose one per family. 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.

Fall Enrichments 2024

This will be the first sign-up for enrichments for the 2024-2025 School Year. There will be some classes that are single-week sign-ups and then some classes that are a series of classes with multiple sessions. If you sign up for a series of classes, please DO NOT sign up for additional classes that overlap. If you do so, the sign-up for the individual class will be deleted. There can be no overlap of classes, as Arete cannot pay for services that your child does not receive.
