Vision Update
We now have the vision statements that were written by the team members that were present on the last SIP meeting day. The next step is to take was written, see if anything should be combined- then send that out to you for a vote. It will include:
Our current vision
The 3 Visions that were created
A combined vision statement that will be fashioned from the originals for consideration
You should have a total of 5-6 statements in which to ponder. If there are like numbers in the google form vote, we will narrow the field and send it back out until we have consensus on a statement. Look for that before break.
March is Reading Month Continues
We are so excited that March is finally here and the Arno staff has planned some awesome activities throughout the month which includes things like a book exchange, Bingo for Books, prizes, and a Star Wars theme! If you are in the building this month, please take note of all the cool themed doors that all of our classrooms worked on. Please see below for more information on all of the exciting plans for the rest of March…

M-STEP STATE ASSESSMENT
Thank you all for participating the in the M-STEP training, hopefully I can just push things to the shared resource folder, but we have to meet again priior to testing. Remember the most important thing at this point is getting those kids on the practice test. Practice on different things, but it should be weekly at this point. You can practice the questions, key words, tools, types of problems they’ll see, scrolling features, reading carefully, etc. The practice tests don’t change, but what do with it should. Letting the students do this on the chromebook is the best way at this point to test our systems and simulate the test is closest way possible. I did add a FAQ page as you can submit your questions, which i will then post the answer for everyone to see as we move through. Let me know what questions you have- fifth grade, April 11 is coming quick 🙂

Roller Skating Party Update
Due to the district closing, the roller skating party was cancelled our last snow day. The PTA is still currently working on a new date. If you have paid already for the party, the PTA will address that when a data is selected.
Shrek the Musical coming soon…
It’s a “big bright beautiful world” for everyone’s favorite ogre in Shrek The Musical, based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation Film.
In a faraway kingdom, the green ogre Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits, runaways who’ve been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wise-cracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task – if he rescues feisty Princess Fiona from the Dragon-guarded tower, his swamp will be returned to him. But, a fairy tale wouldn’t be complete without unexpected twists and turns along the way.
Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek is an irreverently fun show for the whole family. With abundant opportunities for imaginative sets and costumes and familiar characters that prove that beauty is in the eye of the ogre.
Performances will be on the weekend of March 18 -19 at 7pm & March 20 at 2pm.

Adults $12

Family ticket $35 (2 adults and all children living in your home under 18)
