Week 7

Hello Families!

Thank you to each family that sent in tissues with their children! I am so grateful for your support-I couldn't do it without you.

What's happening in 4A:


  • Reminder: There is NO SCHOOL Monday, September 16. 
  • We are focusing on citizenship as our virtue of the month. We discussed in class ways to be good citizens at home and school. I encourage you to continue this conversation with your child at home.
  • Archway Arete invites you to the first 4th Grade Coffee Shop Conversation of the year on Tuesday, October 1st from 8:00 am- 9:00 am. Come meet other 4th grade parents over coffee and snacks. You will hear from our headmaster, Neil Gillingham, and the 4th grade lead teacher, Mr. Naaktgeboren. You can sign up here
  • The Daddy Daughter Dance is Saturday, September 21st, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm in the gymnasium.  This year's theme is Father/Daughter Fiesta!  Please plan on joining the PSO for DJ entertainment and dancing, a taco bar from Rancho de Tia Rosa, kiddie train rides, a balloon artist, a craft, photo booths, and more.  Keep an eye out for a flyer coming home this week with ticket purchase information.
  • Students should bring home information about the Europe Project. Each student was assigned a country to research. These projects are due in Week 5 of Quarter 2. The packet given to your student has all the information needed to complete the project. Feel free to email me should you have any questions.
