Eagle Update
Archer Glen Elementary | September 10, 2026
A Message from Principal Woofter
Our second week of school has been smooth sailing! Students have done a fantastic job getting back into the swing of things, even after a long weekend. Thanks to all of our Kinder families who joined their child's teacher for their Family Conversations! We were definitely ready to have our Kinder students back today since things didn't feel complete without them😊
Families, mark your calendars! As you know, we have a brand new playground that students have been enjoying, especially on these sunny afternoons. Just prior to our Back to School Night on Thursday, September 24th we will be holding a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the new playground. Student leaders will help us to celebrate this new addition to our campus. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will be from 5:15 pm until 5:30 pm and then Back to School Night will run from 5:30 pm until 7:00 pm. It will be a wonderful opportunity for students to show their families around the building and show off what they have been learning about so far!
Arrival and dismissal in our car line has been going wonderfully! Car line dismissal has only been taking about 10 minutes once students are out and ready to go. We always appreciate everyone's patience especially on rainy days when we have more cars coming through. Thank you for your kindness and patience with school staff and other families!
We are looking forward to our first 5-day week next week!
Kindly,
Sarah

Volunteers
The District will be welcoming volunteers back into our school buildings this year. All volunteers will need to complete and have an approved background check on file prior to volunteering (this must be renewed each school year). The background check process can take 7-10 business days, so please allow sufficient processing time if you are planning to volunteer for a specific event.
HelpCounter Volunteer Information
Our Archer Glen Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is creating an updated email list for school information and other ways to support our school. If you are looking to volunteer at Archer Glen this year, please sign up using the link shared here. If you are new to Archer Glen you will need to create a new login. Past volunteers can use their old sign in. (Please note that this link does not work well on your phone so you will need to use another device).
ALL parents will need to fill out their information again as the system gets updated each fall. The registration will ask some questions about volunteer preferences, please still answer the questions and select all activities you might be interested in learning more about!
