Dear Arleta Families,

I hope that your family has transitioned smoothly into summer vacation mode. We are staying busy finalizing classroom moves and preparing to welcome students back on Monday, August 27th. Included in this letter is information about classroom moves, when class assignments will be mailed out, dates for school/family events, and where to find School Supply Lists.

Classroom Moves:

Ø  Kindergarten is moving into the main building and First grade to the Annex.

Ø  Middle School Math/Sci classes are moving to the first floor and LA/SS to the second floor.

Classroom Assignment Notification:

Class assignments will be mailed out on August 20th, one week before the first day of school. Having balanced classes helps us establish and maintain healthy classroom cultures, and we are often making last minute changes in response to late registration. Thanks for your patience!

Important Dates for Next Year:

• Back to School Night for K-5: Thursday September 20th, 6:00-7:30 and for Middle School on Thursday September 27, 6:00-7:30. The information shared by classroom teachers at these events sets the stage for learning for the school year and that is why these are adult only events. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to provide child care.

• Grandparents and Special Friends Day and Run for the Arts: These events will be combined on Oct. 11th, beginning at 8:15 am.
• Halloween Family Dance: October 26th
• Parent Teacher Conferences: Monday and Tuesday November 19th and 20th, from 8:00 am-8:00 pm. Sign up for conferences will be at Back to School Night.
• Maker Faire: Feb. 21st
• Open House: K-8 March 19th from 6:00-7:30
• Talent Show: Friday May 31st day
• 8th Grade Promotion: Friday June 9th at 7:00 pm

Grade Level Supply Lists:

School supply lists are posted on the "Arleta School News" section of our Homepage. They are also displayed in the windows of our main entrance throughout the summer.

Thank you so much for your support and have a great summer!

With gratitude,

Seth Jones

Principal, Arleta K-8
