A Note from Headmaster Philabaum
Greetings families,
By now, I hope that you had the opportunity to read Monday’s announcement about the future of Archway Trivium East! Our new campus, to be called Archway Roosevelt, will open in August of 2022. We are very excited about the future ahead, and we know that many of you have questions right now about what this means for your family.
We are happy to announce that we will be holding a Virtual Town Hall event on Tuesday, April 20 at 6pm. At this time, we will address any questions you have about the transition. Topics covered will include:
- Details on the location
- A sneak peek at the new design (This beautiful new look will be the first of its kind at Great Hearts Academies!)
- The academy structure
- The timeline
- Enrollment
- And an opportunity to meet the Headmaster of the Prep campus – Tony Cruz!
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A discussion.
We will be holding the event via Zoom in order to accommodate as many families as possible. Please see the information for the Town Hall below:
Meeting ID: 928 8445 1710
Passcode: Roosevelt
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you there!
With Devotion,
Stephen Philabaum

Math Textbook Return
If you still have a copy of the hardbound math books that were distributed earlier this year, please return these to your child’s homeroom teacher. We bound these to be re-used each year, so please take a moment to ensure you still not have a copy. If you are a Distance Learning family, you may return these to the front office. Thank you for your support!
Distance Learners Health Screening
All 3rd and 5th grade Distance Learners, as well as scholars who are new to ATE, need to complete a 5 minute hearing and vision screening as part of our academy. Rather than asking students back at a separate time, when your child completes their AZ Merit test, they will be taken to the Nurse to have this done. If you have any questions, please reach out to Carrie Nielson at cnielson@archwaytriviumeast.org.
