Dear Arete Families,

I would like to personally invite you to complete the annual  Great Hearts survey, which you should have already received an email about. These results help us to better understand what is working well and what concerns exist.

 

The survey will remain open through Friday, March 23.

 

Click here for the link: survey

 

Your survey answers are completely anonymous and the narrative comments are critically important to our understanding of your assessment. The survey may take 20-30 minutes for one child and a few extra minutes for each additional child.

 

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Robby Colgan: [email protected].

 

Thank you for providing your feedback and investing in making Arete better !

 

Sincerely,

Give Me 5 Tax Credit Contest Update

The varsity track team has earned a Bosa Donut Party for bringing in 5 tax credits!  If they bring in just 5 more, they will be able to design their own team t-shirt! Varsity baseball and Heart 4 Others Club is only one tax credit away from their donut party. All spring sports teams and clubs are eligible to win - please keep asking your friends and neighbors to  DONATE their 2017 AZ Public School Tax Credit to Arete Prep to support our extra-curricular clubs and sports!

"I enjoy getting to witness students developing a sense of excitement about Ancient History, because, in history, there is something for everyone. Some students can't get enough of learning the nitty gritty details of ancient battles. Some like learning about ancient philosophers. Others enjoy the stories of ancient mythology. But, most rewarding of all are the times when I hear students say things like, "I really enjoyed learning about Alexander the Great; his campaigns in Persia were really interesting," because I know that their current study of history is just the beginning of a lifelong endeavor."  - Mr. Linde
