Celebrating Curiosity: Arete Annual Student Showcase Tuesday, April 14 and Wednesday, April 15 from 9:15-9:45am in the MPR We are proud to invite parents, teachers, and community members to join us for an evening of innovation and hands-on learning. Our students have been hard at work moving beyond textbooks to create tangible solutions, art, and experiments. This showcase is a celebration of the process as much as the result. Students will be stationed with their projects to demonstrate their work, answer questions, and share the "aha!" moments they experienced along the way. From engineering prototypes to interactive history exhibits, come see how our students are applying their knowledge to the real world. |

On Thursday, March 12th, from 5:30-6:30, Arete will host an exciting and interactive Math Night, where families can experience the magic of math in a fun-filled evening with a series of stations, each designed to help students explore different math concepts while getting ready to see math in a whole new light! Join us for a fun and engaging Family Math Night where we will unleash our inner artists and explore the beautiful connection between mathematics, shapes, and creativity. This evening is dedicated to the visual and artistic side of math, focusing on hands-on activities that build spatial reasoning and a love for patterns. We would love to have you all join Mrs. Tamo for this fun and active night! This is a free night and ALL are invited! Two Great Nights of FUN and LEARNING: CAASPP Family Night and Geometry Night |

Dear Arete Colleagues and Families,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to ask for your support in helping our high school students secure local, age-appropriate job opportunities.
As part of our Work Exploration elective at Arete Charter Academy High School, students are learning about career pathways, workplace expectations, and job readiness skills. Many of them are eager to gain part-time employment experience; however, we have not yet been successful in securing enough local opportunities for them.
Each visit would include a small group of approximately 4–6 students, accompanied by a school staff member. We are flexible with scheduling and would plan a visit on an upcoming Thursday between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., at a time that works best for your business. Each visit would last about 60–90 minutes.If you own a business, manage a workplace, or have connections to local employers who may be open to hiring responsible high school students, we would greatly appreciate your assistance. Even part-time, entry-level, seasonal, or internship-style opportunities can make a meaningful difference in helping students build confidence, develop professional skills, and gain valuable real-world experience.
Our students are being prepared with foundational workplace skills such as communication, professionalism, and reliability, and we are committed to supporting both students and employers in creating positive working relationships.
If you are able to help, or if you know someone who might be willing to connect with us, please feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected]. I would be grateful for any leads, referrals, or guidance you can provide.
Thank you for being such an important part of our school community and for supporting our students as they take their first steps into the workforce.
Warmly,
Meredith Doerr

Good evening families, |

This is the last week to accumulate minutes and turn in your reading log to Mrs. Kate in the library. She has so many fun prizes for our readers that go all along with the theme! Don’t forget to ask friends and families to sponsor your student. 100% of the pledge is used to reward your reader and Arete Charter! 20% of the money that you, family, and friends sponsor your young reader with will be returned to the student to use at the book fair in April! The remaining 80% goes to the Arete Library, Orchard, Chickens, and garden. The pledge money is due by Thursday March 12th. All students who earn a prize will also be given a ticket to win $50 Cash donated by the Lion’s Club Reading Contest. Additionally, the student who raises the most money and the student who reads the most minutes will win either Arete Beanie or Arete Baseball Hat! |
You’re Invited: The Heritage Festival ✨Last year’s gathering was so special that we’ve decided to make it an annual tradition. We invite you to join us for this one-of-a-kind community-building event designed to create meaningful connections for parents and students alike. We want to nurture the "village" mentality, ensuring school feels like a home away from home where every student is supported by a strong, secure community. Save the Date
A Special RequestIf you don’t 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, and the village isn't complete without you. |

We are a NUT FREE campus. Please save nut snacks for while at home. Also, we have some other class specific allergies, so please email Sarah and the classroom teacher BEFORE bringing in birthday treats. We are also working towards a healthier campus and encourage snacks/treats that align with that. Low and zero waste items are preferred. |
