If a picture is worth a thousand words, then visiting in person must equal about a million. That's why we host our back-to-school nights shortly after the beginning of the year. Take advantage of this opportunity to see the world your child inhabits every day and meet the people in charge. It's one of the best ways to begin to build that all-important home-school connection.
What to Expect:
- When: Thursday, September 8th. The TK-2nd grade teachers will begin the evening with classroom presentations from 6:00 - 6:30. From 6:30 - 6:55, we will gather in the Multipurpose Room to welcome new and returning parents to Arcata Elementary School, and to meet the AES staff. Parents of 3rd-5th grade students will visit their children's classrooms from 7:00 - 7:30 pm.
- Who: You'll be able to meet your child's teachers, the principal, and of course other parents. This is an adults-only night.
- What: The event gives you a glimpse of your child's daily life at school and an opportunity to learn about the curriculum. You can also sign up to join the AES Booster Club.
- Why: Research shows that parent involvement in schools helps students achieve more and schools thrive. And joining the Booster Club is a great way to have a voice in school issues and decisions.
