Happy Sunday,
*We are so excited Field Day is almost here. We have a few spots to fill if you are able to volunteer. We are hoping to break up the TK-3 classes into smaller groups with adult chaperones. Students may wear bathing suits that day, but still need to follow dress code so no tummies can be showing and shorts must be worn. If you have a pop up, consider bringing it and setting it up and taking it down at your station. Thanks! Click here to sign up.
*Tuesday, May 31- 5pm 8th Grade Promotion Planning Meeting
Meeting ID: 481 795 0151 Passcode: GoAreteGo
*At parents' request, we are trying a Kindergarten Family Social in place of a formal Kindergarten Promotion. This will be an informal Kindergarten picnic for families to connect and exchange phone numbers, etc to be able to set up playdates and park or swim meet ups in the summer.
*Tuesday, June 7th from 11:30-12ish
*Chelsea ordered one cap and gown for people to borrow to take pictures in and Chelsea will bring Otter Pops.
All families who want to attend should meet outside on the grass from room 3. Please RSVP at [email protected] so we know how many families to expect!
*To secure your child’s spot for next year, we need you to complete their PRSD registration for the 2022-2023 school year. This is a yearly update to their records. Please log into your Parent PowerSchool account by clicking on this link https://psprsd.org/public/home.html and update all of the information in Forms A-K under PRSD Enrollment Forms. This must be done in order for your enrollment with Arete to be processed for another year. We are hoping to have these completed by June 10 so we know how many spots we have open for our June 15 lottery. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Schwartz at [email protected] or Andrea Magda at [email protected]
If you have previously told us your child will be attending Arete next year and your plans have changed, please email us ASAP so we can open that spot for another child. We are also hiring new staff based on these numbers, so please let us know if your plans have changed as it also affects teacher’s jobs.
*5th Grade Picnic- 5th grade families (and Arete staff) are invited to our informal 5th Grade Picnic on Wednesday, June 1 after Fun Field Day from 12-12:45. Students can attend both events, either event or none of the events! Please bring your own picnic lunch. I will provide ice cream, bowls and spoons. If you attend, please bring a topping such as whipped cream,. chocolate sauce, sprinkles, chocolate chips, cherries, etc to share.Please RSVP if you are coming to the 5th Grade Picnic and let me know what you will bring for the ice cream toppings.
*Arete Parent’s Club- We are looking for a head parent that would facilitate the communication for this informal group. We are thinking they would meet monthly in the Parent Resource Center. There would not be official officers yet, unless the group decided they wanted that. Please let me know if you would be interested in being the Communication Lead.
*Library- We are no longer checking out books for this school year to students or parents as we are actively collecting books. Starting June 13, Mrs. Mary Chaddock will have some office days open when families can come in and check out books for the summer.
(These dates are always listed at arete.prsd.us on the main page and under events. Normally I will include the dates for the week in the Sunday update.) Here is the exact link for the dates through the rest of the year) https://arete.prsd.us/apps/news/article/1477643
