Eagle Express

Dear Arrowwood Families,

As Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible staff and to you, our supportive community. This week, we celebrated our teachers and staff with Arrowwood Survivor because they truly know how to outwit challenges, outplay obstacles, and outlast the toughest days. From navigating busy schedules to creating engaging lessons, our staff continuously goes above and beyond for our Eagles. Their dedication, creativity, and endless patience are the foundation helping our students soar to new heights.

However, we know that our teachers cannot do this work alone. The partnership, encouragement, and support we receive from you at home are what truly allow our students to thrive. Thank you for the kind words, the thoughtful gestures, and the everyday support you provide.

Our fifth graders will also be wrapped up their MSTEP testing this week, we're so proud of their effort and focus. We have a few more end of the year checkpoints for students in the coming weeks besides lots of end of the year activities.

To help our students stay safe, comfortable, and ready to learn, here is a quick, friendly reminder about our school dress code guidelines.

Please keep these simple rules in mind when planning outfits:

• Active Feet: Safe, running-appropriate shoes are required for recess and PE. If wearing winter or rain boots, please pack a pair of regular shoes for the classroom. For safety, please leave shoes with wheels at home and avoid flip flops as they do not withstand our playground.

• School-Ready Clothing: Outfits should be neat, weather-appropriate, and worn at the waist. To keep our environment focused on learning, please save midriffs, cutoffs, and spaghetti straps for at home.

• Keep it Positive: Hats should be taken off inside the building, and clothing must be free of any objectionable words or pictures.

We view this as a partnership! If an outfit ever misses the mark, we will gently reach out to you so we can work together to correct it. Thank you for your continued support in making our school a fantastic place to learn and play.

Yearbooks went home with students today. We have a limited number of yearbooks for sale in our main office. They will be $15 cash or check payable to Arrowwood Elementary. Once they are gone, they are done for the year.

If your family has moved out of district and would like to continue to attend STCS, please apply for Schools of Choice. The application window for Schools of Choice is now open. Application documents are available in the Community Education office and on the STCS website:
