Archway Pledge
Several parents have asked me for a copy of the growth mindset pledge the students recite every Monday and Friday. It would be an excellent thing to reinforce at home over the summer. Here it is:
I am an Archway student; therefore, I strive to always be kind and respectful to my classmates and my teachers, and to take responsibility for my actions. I am not as smart today as I will be tomorrow. I will grow my brain by trying to do things that are hard to do, because I know that when I struggle, I get stronger. I will make mistakes and learn from them. I will continue to practice, try new strategies, and I will not give up. I will believe that those things that I can't do are just things that I can't do yet.

2017-18 Book List
While the books needed for the 2017-18 school year are virtually the same as last year, the way you will be obtaining your books has changed significantly. Please note the individual sections for each grade - many of the purchases you make will be delivered directly to your home, not to the school as we have done in the past.
BOOKS IN THE BURGUNDY SECTIONS:
These books will be delivered directly to you and will need to be brought to school with your child on the first day. Purchasing these books to match the ISBN numbers on this list ensures that students can all follow along on the same page when reading and discussing in class. These books
can be purchased in a number of ways:
- Direct links to the book vendor or the Amazon item matching the required ISBN are included for your convenience.
- Barnes and Noble will still offer all the LITERATURE books that are included in our list, but you must go to the Chandler Fashion Mall location to pick up these books as they may not carry them at the B&N online bookstore.
- Purchase from your favorite vendor (Note - ALL ISBN NUMBERS MUST MATCH AS SPECIFIED ON THIS LIST)
- Log into the portal with your account
- On the left-side menu, under the "Textbooks/Tuition" category, select the grade level your child will be entering for the 2017-18 school year (Click on the "Textbooks/Tuition" parent category to see all grade levels).
- Click the "Add to Cart" button for each Grade-Level product needed (there is no charge for the Consumable product - fees are assigned to individual items within each group you will select during the checkout process). You can add Consumables for multiple children/grades.
- Once you've added a Consumable product to your cart for each child, click the "Checkout" button. Follow the prompts to assign a student to each product.
- On the next screen you will select the individual items you wish to purchase for each student. Click the "Add" button next to each item you wish to purchase.
- Once all items are added, continue to the next screen and follow the prompts to remit payment.
Books purchased through the Archway Online Portal will be distributed
directly to students
in class
during the start of the new school year
after purchase is completed
.
They may not be picked up before school starts.
We ask that parents purchase these workbooks and literature books to keep costs down at the academy, however, financial assistance is available in order for your child to receive a full set of work/literature books. If you need assistance or are willing to set up a payment plan, please
contact Michele Tobin directly.
Arrangements must be made by July 24th in order to have books available for your child on the first day of school.

Birthday Snack Reminder
Just a reminder that when it is your child's birthday there are restrictions on what can be brought in as a treat for the class as well as on visitors. Please do not send sugar-laden treats like donuts, cookies, and cupcakes. For suitable alternatives, please see the policy written here. The treats should be dropped off at the front desk where they will be delivered to the classroom at a time that is convenient for the teacher to minimize loss of instructional time.
