Hello all,

We are so excited that our Family Reading Night, “I FALL FOR READING” is THIS WEDNESDAY!! We still have spots available!!

"I Fall For Reading" is a fun reading night for the whole family. All Arete families are invited. You are invited Wednesday, September 27, 5:30-7:00 pm to the Arete MPR for an evening of 'make & take' reading crafts and activities hosted by Ms. McAlister, Ms. Doerr, Mrs. McGough, and Mrs. Cindy followed by popcorn and cider, as we gather in the center for cozy reading time hosted by Ms. Schwartz and our Arete teachers. One of the stations will be a book exchange so please feel free to drop off nice and clean books in the library with Ms. Cindy ahead of time or bring them that night. Your family will leave that night with new to you books and several activities that promote reading. Please come and join us slumber party style with pajamas, blankets, and pillows for comfort. This is a free event for all. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0A4EAAAB29A6FE3-ifallfor#/

*Math Intervention Groups

Ms. McAlister and Mrs. Tamo are running 1 to 1 or small math groups this fall. To be considered to be at grade level, your child needs to score at or above the 50th percentile. If they are in the 30th percentile or lower, we will be reaching out to you now or in six weeks or so to invite them to free math intervention with a credentialed teacher. (We saw huge growth in our students who participated in reading/phonics intervention last year). This is an amazing opportunity to receive free intervention as part of our MTSS Grant. Please take us up on it!!!

*PRSD is focusing on reducing Tech Addiction in Children and building pathways for Digital Health. Each week I will share a NEW tidbit about this or how to to reduce screen time for kids who struggle with this.

*Teens’ use of electronic devices for at least five hours daily more than doubled (from 8% in 2009 to 19% in 2015). These teens were 70% more likely to have suicidal thoughts or actions than those who reported one hour of daily use.
