Malcolm Pascua-O’Neill, our Plains Tribe Indigenous Artist, will be present, as will Lisa Jackson, Spotted Elk Oceti Ŝakowiŋ and Sheryl Moren, both former Arleta parents whose visions and efforts over the past four years created the possibility for the prominent indigenous art installation now hanging in our main hallway.

Our mural was also made possible through the contributions by Arleta Families to our Dolphin Dash which takes place each spring. Thank you Arleta Families and Caregivers.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES NOV 24-25
Fall conferences are individual meetings between you and your child's (or children's) teacher(s). Conferences are an excellent time to learn how your child is settling into the school year, what they are finding success with and what they might be struggling with. It's an invaluable opportunity to discuss your child's needs with their teacher. This year, conferences are being held on November 24-25.
Each conference is 25 minutes long, and conferences start at 8am and end at 7:55 pm. Our staff will be at Arleta, but we can provide a virtual link if that’s better for your family. For families with more than one household, we ask you to schedule one conference per child. Students are welcome to join the meeting and individual teachers will share their conference structure through their classroom newsletter.

Is your kid creative? Have they been asking for an opportunity to earn some pocket money?
Each year, Arleta School hosts our Winter Bazaar. Kids sell crafts, the PTA hosts a bake sale & raffle, and we all get to hang out in community, while doing a little winter shopping and enjoying each other's creativity and skills!

BEAT THE BELL
For the short week of October 27-29, we had nearly 94% positive attendance (up from 92% the week before) and 80 tardies (down from 121 the week before).
Looking for some tips to help you get out of the door on time? Check back here each week for ideas.
This week's tips:
- Avoid electronics entirely for a more restful evening and a distraction-free morning.
- Don’t try to do “one more thing”; you’ve done enough!
- Talk about your child’s classroom routine: what happens first thing, how happy the teacher will be to see them.
THE FEDERAL SHUTDOWN - WHAT IT MEANS FOR SCHOOLS AND HOW TO HELP
The National PTA has put together an action center on their website with steps that you can take to help ensure functioning schools during this time. Click here to go to the National PTA Action Center. Lawmakers have been unable to reach an agreement to fund government programs and operations for the next fiscal year, which led to a shutdown of the federal government that is already beginning to impact school operations and programs serving children across the country. At a time when our education system and families are strained, it is the time to increase, not decrease federal investments in programs like IDEA and Title I that uplift our nation’s families and schools. Take action today and urge Congress to end the government shutdown and reach an agreement that prioritizes our nation's children, families and schools!
DONATE ITEMS FOR THE WINTER BAZAAR RAFFLE
We need your help to make the raffle extra special! We’re looking for fun and unique items to raffle off—think spa or beauty services, vacation rentals, local craft goodies, and tasty food and beverage treats. If you or someone you know can contribute, we’d love to hear from you!
All donation offers should be sent to Arley Laman at arleyann@me.com.
ARLETA BAKERS UNITE FOR THE WINTER BAKE SALE
Calling all bakers and treat-makers!
We’re gathering delicious goodies for the Arleta Winter Bazaar Bake Sale. Proceeds go directly to supporting PTA-funded programs for our students and staff. Sign up here.

THE LAST MAPMAKER, BY CHRISTINA SOONTORNVAT - 2023 NEWBERY HONOR
As assistant to Mangkon’s most celebrated mapmaker, twelve-year-old Sai plays the part of a well-bred young lady with a glittering future. In reality, her father is a conman—and in a kingdom where the status of one’s ancestors dictates their social position, the truth could ruin her. Sai seizes the chance to join an expedition to chart the southern seas, but she isn’t the only one aboard with secrets. When Sai learns that the ship might be heading for the fabled Sunderlands—a land of dragons, dangers, and riches beyond imagining—she must weigh the cost of her dreams.
Vivid, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, this tale of identity and integrity is as beautiful and intricate as the maps of old.
