Pulse Survey #2

Thank you to everyone who participated in the second pulse survey this year! Your responses on the three survey questions, as well as your narrative comments, are incredibly valuable.  I will not publish the narrative comments to preserve your anonymity, but rest assured our leadership team read all of your comments and have looked for actionable trends.  Please see the document titled Pulse Survey 11.19  for the aggregated survey data.  One heartening trend that we noticed in the narrative comments, was the love and appreciation our new students and families have for our teachers and our school.  It was a good reminder of how special our academy is.  As always, you need not wait for the next survey to make your voice heard.  Check  our calendar for the next PSO meeting, and lookout for our next round of headmaster coffee gatherings starting in the third quarter.  I wish everyone a fun and productive end of the semester and a joyful holiday season.

 

Warm regards,

 

Holiday Toy Drive

Join for the last few days of our Holiday Toy Drive!  New, unwrapped toys may be dropped off at the curb during morning drop off, in the front office, and during our Winter Festival. This drive will help a variety of organizations including: AZ Helping Hands, Family Promise, Children's Hospitals and The Paiute Center of Scottsdale. This is a great opportunity and fun act service during the holiday season! 

Flag Football

Archway Arete K-5th grade athletics will provide flag football as the third session sport. Join us as we pursue growth in physical skill sets, character, and teamwork. Flag football is a minimal contact sport, just the same as soccer and basketball, and is about speed and agility. Practices will be held  from 3:15-4:15 pm on Thursdays, and the session ends with the opportunity for students to represent the school in tournament play.  Registration for flag football closes December 20th. Register here.  Go Chargers!

Running Club

There is still room to join Running Club!  We meet every Wednesday until April 1st from 2:15-3:15 pm. All you need are running shoes and a water bottle to join us in an afternoon of endurance building and lots of fun. Get your spot now while they are still available.
