A Message from Principal Woofter A Message from Principal Woofter

We have had a fantastic first few days back! It was amazing to see so many families come out for our Meet and Greet/Supply Night and Kinder Orientation. I loved getting to chat with parents and students before the busyness of the first day which went very smoothly. It is incredible how quickly the students transition into routines and, for our returning students, pick right up where they left off in June!


A few friendly scheduling reminders: we have no school on Monday to celebrate Labor Day. Additionally, our Kinder students will not be joining us again until Thursday, September 4. Families will come in for the Family Conversation with their child's teacher at their scheduled time on Tuesday, September 2 or Wednesday, September 3.


A big thank you to our PAC and parent volunteers who came in early to help us get ready for the new school year! Whether it was helping plan for our new kinder students, putting up bulletin boards, freshening up our atriums, sorting yearbooks, or making amazing balloon art, we are fortunate to have an amazing support team who have provided extra support to make our opening week a great one for students and staff!


Thank you for your ongoing support! Archer Glen is off to an incredible start and we know this is going to be an exciting year for our school family to learn and grow!


Kindly,

Sarah

Arrival and Dismissal Arrival and Dismissal

zoom_out_map

Arrival - Students should arrive at school between 7:45 and 7:55 a.m. Classes begin at 7:55 a.m. Students can use either the Main Entrance or the Activities Entrance to enter the building starting at 7:45 a.m. Students arriving after 7:55 a.m. (tardy) should use the Main Entrance.


Vehicle Drop Off is along the main parking lot sidewalk. Students should exit vehicles from the passenger side. If students need additional assistance exiting the vehicle, vehicles should park in a parking spot so as to not disrupt the flow of traffic in the drop off lane. When exiting the parking lot, vehicles must turn RIGHT only. This also helps keep traffic flowing. There is no student drop off in the bus lane. The bus lane must remain clear of all arrival traffic.


Dismissal - Students are dismissed at 2:15 p.m. from exterior classroom doors. On early release Wednesdays, students are released at 1:15 p.m. K-1 students who are walking home need to be picked up by a chaperone. Grades 1-5 can be picked up in the car line, but Kindergarten students must be picked up from the exterior classroom door. Kindergarten students will not be released to the car line by themselves.

Early Release Wednesdays Early Release Wednesdays

As mentioned above, starting September 3rd, each Wednesday will be an early release. All Sherwood schools release one hour early on these days. Early release Wednesdays provide our staff with an important opportunity to collaborate, review student data, and create plans for continued strong instruction throughout the year. We are very grateful for this valuable time, and throughout the year we will be sharing updates of things teachers are working on during their Wednesday collaboration time.

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.

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!
