				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://arete.prsd.us/apps/news/article/2095696</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[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 ss@prsd.us 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 ss@prsd.us to be added to the Waiting List for a Field Trip!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Friday, February 27th 2026, 9:00-1:00

All Are Welcome
  Please join us for this one of a kind community building event. Last year’s festival was such a special experience, we decided that we had to make it an annual tradition. Our goal is to create meaningful opportunities for parents and students alike, to connect with one another. We want to nurture the “village” mentality, so that school feels like a home away from home, and students are set on the secure foundation of a strong community. If you do not typically attend school events, please, from the bottom of our hearts, consider joining us for this one. Every family adds a bit of magic to the adventure of the day.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[School will be closed today, Wednesday, February 18.  While the roads were drivable this morning when doing a check, there were a number of icy spots in Alta Sierra and the Office of Emergency Services (OES) said that the early morning snow and cold may make it more dangerous.  OES also advised that they expect snow throughout the day in Alta Sierra.   Additionally, staffing at our food services, transportation services, and school sites was becoming an issue as other portions of the county were seeing more significant weather and would make it difficult for employees to reach work.   

Please stay warm and safe!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Exciting news for the summer! Arete's Summer Camp is being offered by the amazing Ms. Doerr and Ms. Tomasetti. They have so many things planned!


Good Morning Pleasant Ridge Families,


Pleasant Ridge is pleased to announce that we will be offering three (3) different individual 5-day enrichment programs that will be free for next year's K - 5th grade students.   The three (3) different programs will be held at the following different dates and locations:
Arete Charter Academy (July 6, 7, 10-12)
Cottage Hill Elementary (July 13, 14, 17-19)
Alta Sierra Elementary (July 24-28)
Pleasant Ridge students from all of our sites are welcome to attend any or all of the weeks.   The programs will be nine (9) hours a day and include meals (breakfast, lunch, snack).   The focus will be on enriching activities and each 5-day program will feature one offsite field trip.
The programs will be free to all students, however, space will be limited and priority will be given to ELO-P eligible students.  You can read how to become ELO-P qualified here.
We are still in the process of finalizing many of the details related to the programs and their schedule.   Please be on the lookout for more specific information in the coming weeks.
Start planning your child's great summer now,
ELO-P Summer Enrichment Programs Team]]></description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://arete.prsd.us/apps/news/article/1691893</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[This will be the final Sign Up for Enrichments for the 2022-2023 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.

You MUST cancel any classes at least one week before the class starts as you are holding a spot another child could take and the instructor is purchasing and preparing materials for your child!

For ALL classes, please check your calendar to see if your kiddo is REALLY available on the days you select. For classes that are canceled by families with less than one week 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). If a class is full and you want to be added to the waiting list, please email Sarah at ss@prsd.us. Thanks!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello families!! I have heard you loud and clearly about the Sign Up being confusing for Enrichment Classes. We are reducing the amount of overlapping classes so students are not double booked and trying a new Sign Up look that should make it easier to see if a class is a single day or a series of multiple days. We are also trying out having age groups on different days, so please check your calendar to see if your kiddo is REALLY available on the days you select. If classes fill up, we will add more sessions of the same classes. Please email ss@prsd.us with waiting list requests.]]></description>

				<link>http://arete.prsd.us/apps/news/article/1462127</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://arete.prsd.us/apps/news/article/1462127</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Arete is so excited to announce that we will be opening a blended middle school for 6-8th grades for the 2021-2022 School Year. Students will be invited onto campus Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9am-2pm and will receive direct instruction from amazing credentialed Arete teachers. There will be a lunch break and electives. This program is perfect for students who need more direct instruction and social interaction with other students. Lessons will be hands-on, interactive, and engaging! 
 
Arete Charter Academy’s Blended Middle School Program is an interactive mix of students learning on campus through teacher facilitated instruction (five hours per day, three days a week) and at home assigned learning for two days a week. On days when students are not working in the Resource Center, they continue to learn at home under the supervision of parents, using curriculum and resources provided or approved by their teachers. This is not merely an online program; it is designed to keep kids active and moving with a combination of online and textbook learning, exciting experiments, hands-on activities, and more!
 
All students are supported by their assigned Educational Advisor who monitors their individual progress. They may also receive additional instruction from staff who are available to provide academic interventions, as needed. The combination of teacher guidance and student independence with ongoing monitoring and support helps students gain experience and develop skills to empower them and embrace a love of life-long learning.

The program, including curriculum, supplies, staff, and electives is $3250. There will be no cost to parents. The fee will be paid with Arete Student Instructional Funds. Also, Arete will provide a bus from Magnolia to Arete in the mornings. Your child can ride a Magnolia bus to Magnolia, or you can drop them off at Magnolia, and then they board Bus 27 to Arete. Then families will be responsible to pick up their kiddos at 2pm at Arete or carpool with other families.

As this program includes having students on campus for more than the 20% (or six hours a week) that is considered home school, students must have full and current vaccinations or a valid medical waiver.
 
Please email sschwartz@prsd.us with questions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA["TechTest Jr. Winners Announcement – 2021 
We are excited to announce our 2021 TechTest Jr. math competition winners – held at each school site this  year.  
TechTest Jr is an event for 5th through 8th graders and it focuses on problem-solving skills. The purpose is to  provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate their proficiency at applying math and science knowledge to  solve problems. Aside from acknowledging them for their skills, it’s intended to promote the development of  more critical thinking activities in the county and to help prepare students for the future."

Congrats to all Arete representatives. A few students received special recognition. Kaylee received an Honorable Mention for 7th Grade. For 8th Grade, Parker Tice-Raskin placed in 3rd place and Addie Tice-Raskin placed in 2nd place. Well done, Team ARETE!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[CAASP testing will begin in May. Please sign up early to get a spot that works with your schedule.The US Department of Education is requiring state testing this year. PRSD will be conducting in person testing only. The tests have been greatly reduced due to the pandemic. These assessments help us monitor what our students have learned throughout the year. They also help us to see if there are areas in our curriculum or program that we need to improve upon. The state of California uses these assessments to make sure our students are working toward grade level standards. All third through eighth grade students are required to take four assessments- two each in Math and Language Arts. Also, fifth and eighth graders need to take a Science assessment. Monday, May 3rd the Arete Resource Center will be open for testing only. Tuesday, May 4, K-2 will attend Resource Center as normal and the other classrooms will be used for testing.
Please sign up for the following slots:
*3rd grade- 1 slot
*4th grade- 1 slot
*5th grade- 2 slots
*6th grade- 1 slot
*7th grade- 1 slot
*8th grade- 2 slots
Students should plan on staying from 9am-12pm and should bring their charged Chromebooks and any books/supplies needed to complete lessons when they are done testing for the day. PLEASE have kiddos bring in their OWN water bottles and snacks. Due to COVID and food allergies, we will not have any snacks on site to hand out. We have extra chromebooks on site for students who do not have an Arete Chromebook (Those are the only kind that have a password for our internet). Please come at 8:50 to check out a Chromebook if needed.]]></description>
