Good Evening Families!

Every year the State asks us to send out the California School Parent Survey. Please click on this link before December 7th to complete the survey. https://wested.ugam-apps.com/wed/ts/tr8l

All students are invited on campus through December so we will only be having an on campus Christmas party this year. We still need lots of help with items and volunteers, so please sign up if you can! PLEASE give me 24 hours notice if you are no longer able to attend the Family Christmas Party on Wednesday night at 4:30-5:30 or 5:30-6:30. We have families on the waiting list, we would like to invite if there is a spot available but we need to give them notice. PLEASE do not NO Show as we set up a spot for your family. Thanks~

Arete Christmas Events. Mrs. Veblen/Ms. McAlister/Mrs. Codiga's and Mrs. Baker/Mrs. Lingo/Ms. Tomasetti's classes both need 25 Hot liquid cups with lids. It is looking like we might need to cancel the Blended Middle School Gingerbread House Party and schedule something much smaller as we have many, many empty slots and not enough parent helpers.

Make Up NWEA (2-8th Grades) and STAR AR (4-8th grades) testing continues this week.  All students are invited onto campus. If you have not signed up for a slot yet, please respond to the email I just sent you. For your child's day of testing, please bring a water bottle, snack, book to read if done early and a charged Chromebook if you have one checked out to you. Thanks! 

January and February 2023 Enrichments

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 [email protected]. Thanks!

If your child is out of funds, Arete will delete them from the class sign up and send you the email address of the instructor to make private arrangements for signing up for the class and for private payment. If classes fill up, we will add more sessions of the same classes. 

For off site enrichment classes:

Stephanie and Wendy at Little Hummingbird Crafts just announced their Arete OC Adventure Class Line Up. Check them out here, sign up, add to a budget form and use Enrichment Funds! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c094fa4a928a6fdc61-artclasses

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!
