Salvation Army Angel Tree Program
The Salvation Army Angel Tree program helps provide Christmas gifts for hundreds of thousands of children around the country each year. Once a child or senior adult has been registered and accepted as an Angel their Christmas wish list is shared with donors in your community who purchase gifts of new clothing and toys. The gifts are distributed to the family to place under their family Christmas tree.
Bikers provide new unwrapped toys, gifts and food for local families in need.

Good Evening families!
Reminder that on November 8 at 9am we have a Parent Networking Meeting in the Parent Resource Center. We would love to see you. Also, on Wednesday, November 9 from 9-10am, we have school picture make ups in the MPR.
Every year the State asks us to send out the California School Parent Survey. Arete needs you to complete this online survey to learn more about your opinions about our school. This survey is an opportunity to communicate your perceptions about your child’s school. If you have any questions about this survey, please email me at [email protected].
Your participation is voluntary and valuable to us. The information you provide will help guide district and school efforts to promote safety, enhance learning supports, and improve student achievement. This is an anonymous survey. It is designed so that no one can be identified from the data. You do not have to respond to any questions that you feel could be used to identify you. Simply skip any such questions. All questions apply to Arete only and the results are for our use only. If you have more than one child at this school, you will only need to complete one survey for this school. Please fill out just one survey about the school using your oldest child as a reference. We use the information from the survey to guide the decisions our school makes and to make a plan for the next school year when we write our Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) in the spring. Please click on this link before December 7th to complete the survey.

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.
