Greetings families,
First, thank you to all of you who already took the time to fill out the Homework Survey. We are hoping to get to as close to 100% as we can so that we can get the fullest representation possible. If you have not already done so, please take 2-3 minutes to fill out this brief survey for each of your children. The original email, with the link, can be found here.
As our time on this campus is slowly waning, I exhort each of us to savor all of the moments we can together! Take time to visit, to volunteer, to walk the halls, to talk with fellow families, and to breathe in the beautiful air of Archway Trivium East. We have some special events around the corner that will allow us to celebrate this beautiful community in our final month here. The next one coming up is the Art Walk!
I continue to grow in excitement for this event as the details come together! Here are the elements of the event that we currently have in place:
- Beautiful student art work lining the halls for your enjoyment and admiration.
- A self-guided tour sheet with family activities.
- The announcement of winners for the best pieces of the school year in each grade level.
- Live piano music to accompany the beautiful atmosphere.
- Food trucks and a bounce house!
- Family fun art games and to celebrate the work of histories’ greatest artists!
- A live art battle!
The details of the art battle have been announced in the art class. Please see a recap below:
- The art battle will be exactly 20 minutes long.
- Scholars can choose to draw or paint during this time.
- Scholars must use artwork from classical artists as inspiration for their work. No pop culture allowed.
If your child would like to participate, please have them contact Ms. Jaha and myself. There are a limited number of spots, so artists will be able to participate on a first come, first serve basis.
Thank you all for your continued dedication and partnership. As always, please reach out to me if you have any questions!
With Devotion,
Stephen Philabaum
Headmaster

Spring 2022 State Testing Schedule for 3rd-5th Grades
State testing takes place throughout April. Please see the attached schedule for the date that your student will be participating in the test. The evening prior to your student’s test, they will not be assigned homework so that they are well rested for testing day! Please be sure they have a good healthy breakfast and are at school on time. Testing begins promptly at 8AM so it is very important that all students arrive to school no later than 7:50AM. We also ask that you do not schedule appointments or sign them out of school that day. If they leave campus, they will not be allowed to complete their test when they return. Although testing is scheduled from 8AM -10am, students are allowed the entire day to complete their test so some students will be testing until dismissal.
Student will need to bring a set of earbuds to use during testing throughout April. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have any questions!

We are celebrating our school administration on Wednesday, April 27. Please ask your child to decorate the sun linked below and include a note for a specific staff member or a general note to all. You can make as many copies of the sun as you would like. Parents, please feel free to write notes to the staff letting them know how much you appreciate what they do for your child. Volunteers will be collecting suns in the morning valet line on Wednesday, April 27. The PSO will hang the suns for all to enjoy!
As always, gifts and tokens of appreciation above and beyond these heartfelt suns are never expected, but always appreciated. If you are interested in sending in a gift, please make sure it is clearly labeled and drop items off in the morning valet line along with the project suns.

Health Office Update
As we are entering full swing into the cold and flu season, I would like to provide some updates regarding student health. We do ask that you please do not send your scholars to school when they are sick.
In order to prevent the spread of illness, scholars will be sent home if they present with excessive coughing, sore throat, fever, abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea. Please plan to pick up your scholar as soon as possible or within one hour if you do receive a call. If your scholar is sent home from school due to illness, they should not return until they have completed 24 hours symptom free.
Please notify the Health Office of any changes that arise with your scholar's health status, such as: new diagnosis, new medications, surgery or hospitalizations, factures or injuries and communicable diseases in the scholar or their immediate family.
For those interested in supporting the health office through donations, we are in need of water bottles, granola bars, and cracker donations!
Thank you for your support in keeping our campus healthy and safe!
