Eagle Update

With our first FULL week almost under our belt, you would never guess that the school year is so fresh! It has been so much fun to be in classrooms and seeing students participating in Community Circles, practicing vocabulary words, finding all the different ways that students can make three-dimensional shapes that have a surface area of 36, and working on their first writing pieces. Families will get to see evidence of this learning at our Back to School night next week!

Tomorrow afternoon, we will be introducing this year's Fun Run with our annual Kickoff Assembly! Students will get to learn all about what they can expect for this year's Fun Run and have an exciting presentation to get them excited. Fun Run envelopes will be coming home in Friday folders and this year, we will be able to accept donations digitally through Pledgestar so families can track their donations and their progress. Be sure to check out your student's Friday folders for all the information!

As a reminder, just prior to our Back to School Night on Thursday, September 24th we will be holding a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the new playground. Student leaders will help us to celebrate this new addition to our campus. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will be from 5:15 pm until 5:30 pm and then Back to School Night will run from 5:30 pm until 7:00 pm. It will be a wonderful opportunity for students to show their families around the building and show off what they have been learning about so far!

We hope to see everyone next week!

Kindly,

Sarah

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!

You can find out more information about how to sign up for volunteer opportunities at Archer Glen using HelpCounter by visiting Archer Glen PAC's Instagram handle here.
