Arete Charter Academy Home

This is the final sign-up for enrichments for the 2024-2025 School Year.

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.

Friday March, 28th 2025, 9:00-1:00, Arete Campus
All Are Welcome
Arete staff is on a mission to bring families together. We have been granted some funds to invest in developing the social and emotional intelligence of our students, and we think the best way to do that is by providing them with an opportunity to experience the joy of school community. The more we know each other, the more we care about each other. The more we care about each other, the more we are there for one another. Navigating the ebs and flows of life effectively is the goal of SEL. And doing that with people who know you and care about you, makes the journey much brighter. Please join us on our mission to bring Arete families together!

Feel free to ignore this if you only have TK/K/1 or a Blended Middle School kiddo. It's that time to start scheduling the final round of NWEA Math and Accelerated Reader Testing for the 2024-2025 school year. Reminder that all testing will be completed in person and is mandatory. (CAASP Testing is on the State schedule for May). Second-Eighth Grade students will still need to take the STAR AR test and the NWEA Math test.
Testing sessions will be offered on Monday, March 3, Thursday, March 6, Friday, March 7, Monday, March 10, Thursday, March 14, and Monday, March 17. If you have a busy schedule, please sign up early. We only have ONE Friday testing day, so if you need that PLEASE book early.

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.
