We recently sent out the exciting news about our new library program Alexandria where families will now be able to search our library of books! Each student was sent a barcode ID and Username for accessing the library catalog. In this new program you will be able to see a list of items you have checked out and their due dates, holds and reservations you have placed and their expiration dates, and any charges you owe the library. You may change your username and password using the Alexandria Researcher application. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at [email protected] or [email protected]. Happy reading!

Remember to email Sarah at [email protected] a few days before a kiddos’ birthday if you want to send in treats so I can check for food allergies. Nuts are never allowed, but some individual classes have food allergies that I also monitor closely. Thanks for keeping our students safe. We also strongly encourage healthier treats if possible as some families closely monitor their kiddos’ sugar and food dye intake.
Please remember that we are a NUT FREE school as we have several students with severe nut allergies. Kiddos may enjoy nut free granola bars and spreads on their sandwiches and all the nut free favorites when away from Arete. Thanks!

This year PRSD has a goal to improve student attendance. If your family does not turn in enough satisfactory work samples or they have missing attendance days, your Educational Advisor will reach out weekly by phone or email to see how things are going and if there is anything we can do to support you. If you have a successful 20 day meeting without missing assignments or attendance, your family is exited from this attendance intervention. We will continue to have monthly treats for students who turn in all logs and satisfactory work samples on time. Next month are (nut free) chocolate chip cookies). Smaller Oreo cookies will be offered to siblings.

Good Evening families!
Once a month, during the second week, Arete hosts a Parent Networking Meeting. We alternate Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. This month, parents are meeting Wednesday, October 12 at 9am in the Parent Resource Center or at the white picnic table by the swings. I’ll be bringing some new herbal tea, mandarins, and banana bread. We hope to see you there!
Monday, November 1- Professional Development Day- No School for Students but the office will be open and we will have the final class of Bow Building and Archery Class from 12:15-1:15.
Our next Parent Action Committee (PAC) meeting is Tuesday, October 25th at 12:15 in person only. We currently have three members and would love a lot more. This is your chance to have a real say in what is happening at Arete! At this meeting we discuss events, field trips, and enrichments we would like to see at Arete. Last year parents discussed forming a Parent’s Club for this year. We meet three times a year and also review Arete’s School Safety Plan (SSP) and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). PAC meets three times a year. Please email [email protected] to be on the committee.
We are excited to announce our FIRST Family Game Night on Wednesday, October 26th from 5:30-6:30.
