On Wednesday, December 10 at 11am, all Arete on Blended Middle School  students are invited to attend the Deep Sea 3D movie at Esquire Imax in Sacramento. We will be using parent drivers for this field trip. We will leave Arete at 9:30 to arrive, park and be in front of the theater by 10:45. For $5 we can have a popcorn and drink combo ready for us when we get there). It's really $3.50, but we cannot make change so you can either send in exact change or send in $5 and help pay for a kiddo who does not have the funds to purchase this. Arete will pay for student tickets. Adult tickets are $8 and must be paid by November 20 in exact cash or check to PRSD. If you complete the parent driver packet and drive two other students, Arete will pay for your parent chaperone ticket. (You will need to pay for parking when you arrive at the field trip). All teachers will attend the field trip that day. If students do not go, they can stay home or come to the Arete conference room to work on lessons.

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.

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.
