Dear Elementary Families,
We are officially on the home stretch with just 11.5 days left in the school year! These final days are packed with important and exciting activities, including MAP testing, end-of-year benchmarking, field trips, celebrations, Field Day, Meet Your Teacher, and much more.
As we finish strong, we appreciate your help in keeping routines consistent—regular bedtimes, a healthy breakfast, and staying on top of homework help students make the most of these last days.
You may notice or hear from your child that classrooms are starting to look different as teachers begin packing. This is directly connected to the bond passed in April—all elementary classrooms must be fully packed and cleared out by the end of the year so that construction, replacements, and repairs can begin immediately once school is out. While things may look a little different, please know that there is still meaningful learning happening every day.
Because of this work, summer school will take place in the middle and high school wings.
We also want to extend a sincere thank you for your support of the bond, which allows us to maintain and improve our school facilities and keep them in great condition for our students and staff.
Thank you for being such an important part of our Archie community!
