Everyone is welcome to come Wednesday June 10 at 9am to help in the school garden. We have irrigation to fix, weeds to pull and hopefully make a plan for some families to visit during the summer to check on things. |

Reminder to sign in (and out) every time you are on campus. This is a safety issue. We need to have an accurate accounting of who is on campus. When we do a drill (or if we have a real event), we have to find every person who sings in (but not out) and account for all of the parents who are on campus but did not sign in. Thanks! |
|
Reminder that pick up and drop off can only happen in front of the school. Please do not pull up past the garden to staff parking unless you have a handicapped sign on your car. (That is also where we take our school walks). Also, please drive very slowly through our parking lot. We have CHILDREN and CHICKENS wandering our campus and cars pulling in and out of the pick up line. Thank you for putting everyone’s safety a priority! |
Drop off/Pickup Routine:
*PLEASE enter, drive through, and exit our parking lot SLOWLY.
*PLEASE pull forward in the pick up line to drop off or pick up your child. Do not load or unload at the back of the line. If everyone pulls all the way forward, several kiddos can get in and outside of the car at the same time!
*PLEASE do not drive past the garden and park in employee and handicapped parking unless you qualify in one of those groups.
*PLEASE walk your children to and from your car if you park. DO NOT wave at them to cross a busy parking lot and come to your car. YOU are bigger and more visible than your child is

One of the lovely things Arete homeschool parents do is limit their children’s screen time. We wholeheartedly agree. One time this becomes a little tricky is when kiddos need to type. Typing/ keyboarding is a skill they will need in life, school, and on assessments. In comprehensive schools, students usually start typing practice in second grade for 20 minutes about two-three times a week. There are websites that make this fun and easy for kids and families. Please consider checking out one of these programs to support your kiddos in this area. Please email Carrie at [email protected] if you need assistance.
