Happy September, Arrey Elementary!
I want to take a moment to say how proud I am of the wonderful start we’ve had to the 2024 school year! It’s been so exciting to see our classrooms come to life with energy, enthusiasm, and a strong sense of community. Teachers and students have done a fantastic job settling into routines and expectations, making our school feel like the warm, welcoming place it always is. Building positive relationships is a top priority for us.
We've also completed our beginning-of-the-year assessments in Reading and Math, which are helping us set goals that will guide us on our learning journey. These goals will not only challenge our students but also encourage them to grow and achieve their very best. Parents, I encourage you to ask your child about their learning goals, and find ways to support them at home.
I truly believe this is going to be a successful and rewarding year for all of us. Thank you, parents and guardians, for your continued support, and to my staff and students, keep up the great work! Together, we’ll make this a year to remember.
Warmly,
Ms. Williams
Principal, Arrey Elementary School
Hi Families!
Welcome back!
During this first quarter, students are learning art room procedures and routines, and engaging in many art projects. Children are working to create paintings for the annual exhibit at the Sierra County Fair. The dates for the fair are 10.03.24 - 10.06.24. Please visit the exhibit and enjoy the wonderful art that our students have made. They have been working super hard!
We always love donations of egg cartons! When students work with tempera or acrylic paint, egg cartons are used as paint palettes. We throw them out after use, so we go through quite a lot of them.
As always, please reach out with questions or concerns or ideas. We welcome your input about current and future art projects! Please stop by the art room during conferences. We will be at AES from 3:30 - 5:00 on Thursday, September 5.
Be well,
Thea Storz
Rhonda Nickles

We are excited to welcome Mr. Marquez as our new English Language Development (ELD) teacher. Mr. Marquez will be working closely with our English Learner (EL) students, providing small group instruction and in-class support to help them strengthen their language skills. He will be with us on Tuesdays and Thursdays, ensuring that our EL students receive the individualized attention they need to succeed.
At AES, we know that good attendance is key to student success. When students are in school, they are learning and growing every day. This year, we will be celebrating and recognizing students who achieve perfect attendance each month, as their commitment to being present is vital. After all, we cannot teach to an empty chair! Let’s work together to ensure our students are here, ready to learn, and reach their full potential.
Congratulations to these PERFECT ATTENDANCE students for the month of August 2024!!!
