What a great first week! 🐻💜
Thank you for helping us kick off the school year so well! It has been so much fun seeing so many new faces around Arbor Park and catching up with so many familiar smiles. Our students have settled in, classrooms are buzzing with learning, and we're off to a great start. We’re so glad to have everyone back!
👋 A Quick Reminder for Visitors
Just a reminder that all adults and guests visiting Arbor Park need to check in at the office when they arrive. For everyone's safety, visitors should enter through the gym doors and stop in the office to sign in before heading anywhere else in the building.
Thank you for helping us keep our school safe and making sure we know who is in the building!
