Eagle Update
Archer Glen Elementary | January 15, 2026
A Message from Principal Woofter
The month of January is moving right along! The promise of dry sunny weather over the next few days is exciting and it makes recess and fire drills a lot easier for everyone! Just a reminder that there will be no school on Monday, January 19 in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Since our return from winter break, many of our teachers had students select a word to focus on for 2026. I have enjoyed hearing and reading the thoughtful, reflective words our students have taken as their individual areas of focus. Some of their words include self control, creativity, brave, positive, loving, forgiving, open, and yet. While the word choices are extremely powerful on their own, listening to or reading the student's explanations as to why they selected their word has definitely been a highlight for me. Be sure to ask your student if they have claimed a word as their own for 2026 - and if they haven't, you may ask them to think of one!
We hope to see everyone at our Archer Glen Family Bingo Night next Thursday, January 22 from 6:00 - 7:30 in our cafeteria. It is sure to be fun for the whole family!
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!
