Hello all,
It has been wonderful to meet new faces and see all of our friends! We loved seeing many of you at the Ice Cream Social and Family Training. What a great turn out. We are working hard at placing orders and are pretty much caught up. We are waiting for lots of families to complete enrollment folders (including correct proof of residency) so that we can order their curriculum. We are also quickly inventorying new curriculum, adding it to our tracking system and checking it out to your kiddos for the year. You have all been so patient and helpful in following the guidelines that make it much quicker and easier to process your orders.
*We continue NWEA Math and STAR Accelerated Reader Testing this week. All 2nd-8th Graders must take these district assessments three times a year. If you have not already, please sign up here. 2nd-8th Grade Fall NWEA Math and AR Reading Assessments 2022-2023
*Cross Country- 4-8th Grade
Amanda Tamo here. We had a shift in our NCAL director for sport scheduling this year, which sort of delayed the start of sports this season. I am planning on starting practices next week.
Please have them turn in Emergency forms by Tuesday. (posted on the Arete Edlio on Sat. 8/19 or in the front office.)
Cottage Hill/Arete 4th and 5th graders:
Practices @ CH from 2pm-3pm, Starting Wednesday, August 23rd. Practices will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays this year.
Magnolia/Arete 6th-8th graders:
Practices @ Magnolia from 3:15pm-4:45pm.( Arete students can arrive at 3:25 to avoid traffic from Magnolia pick-up) Starting Tuesday, August 22nd. Practices will be held Monday-Thursday this year.
Sign-ups/ Roster: Arete Google Form:

Our Home meet will be at Magnolia this year on Thursday, October 5th.
Thanks so much!
Coach Tamo
From Sarah:
Cross Country is included in the price of the Blended Middle School and is $150 out of funds for other students. All students must be current on vaccines or have a valid waiver. We must have eight students to run a team.
*Want to Sign Up For the Resource Center- do so here
*Fall Enrichments- Sign up here
This will be the first Sign Up for Enrichments for the 2023-2043 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.
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 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]. 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. Thanks!
If your child is out of funds, Arete will delete them from the class sign up and Sign Up Genius will send you an email notifying you. Then you may refer back to the Sign Up for the email address of the instructor to make private arrangements for signing up for the class and for private payment.
If school is canceled due to weather, Enrichment classes will be rescheduled to the same day of the week if possible, but at the end of the trimester.
California law requires all students who receive classroom instruction through a school to be up to date on vaccinations or have a valid medical waiver registered with the CAIR Me website.
Blended Middle School Students use all of their funds for that program, so please email instructors to sign up and pay privately. Thanks!
