Eagle Express
Dear Families,
Winter is definitely here now. As temperatures drop, please help your child come to school prepared for the weather by sending them with appropriate cold-weather gear each day. Coats, hats, gloves, and warm layers help ensure students can comfortably enjoy outdoor recess and transitions throughout the day. Students may leave some items in their cubbies but we ask that all items are labeled in a "snow bag" to keep them organized. Another helpful tip is to ensure all of the items are labeled with your student's name. Our lost and found is currently overflowing with single gloves, sweatshirts, and coats that have lost their students. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students safe, warm, and ready to learn!
Make it a great weekend, Eagles!

What's Happening Around Arrowwood?
Soar Squad to the Rescue!
Dear families,
We have heard your feedback and are excited to increase the ways you can be involved here at Arrowwood Elementary. Beginning as soon as February, we will be launching the Soar Squad, a parent and family volunteer initiative where you can help support students to soar to new heights here at school. Please follow the link or use the QR code to complete this interest survey to get on the list, see the opportunities available, share how you would like to help, share your preferences for volunteer training, and more. Thank you in advance for your partnership and commitment to our Eagles!
With excitement,
The Arrowwood Staff
Care Closet Donation Drive
Our Student Council works hard on many different projects throughout the year. One of those is creating and running a Care Closet, where all Arrowwood students can go to get items they might need throughout the school day. These items include hygiene supplies, school snacks, socks, winter gloves, and more. To restock our inventory, classes will be competing to donate the most items to the Care Closet. The class who donates the most items from each grade will win PJs and Play, a day where they schedule an extra recess and can wear their pajamas to school. Donate by sending items from the list below with your child, or use the QR code to shop from our Amazon Wishlist (https://bit.ly/AESCareCloset26) and have items shipped directly to the school. If you shop online, be sure to include your child's teacher so they get credit for their items. Our Student Council thanks you for your support!
Fifth Grade Transition to WPMS
A couple of dates that we want to share with our fifth grade families as we start to prepare our students for their transition to White Pine Middle School.
- During the first week of February, Ms. VanTol, the sixth grade counselor, will be visiting our classrooms to share scheduling information with students.
- February 3rd at 6 PM at Arrowwood Conference Center, Mr. Champagne, WPMS Principal, will be hosting a Parent and Family Informational Meeting. He will be sharing more about classes, learning communities, and student activities. We hope you can join him!
- February 5th will be Fifth Grade Extravaganza at WPMS. Students and their teachers will be visiting for a tour to see classrooms and learn more about their new school.
