Hello Arbor Heights Families,

So many fun and exciting things are happening at Arbor Heights. Students are printmaking the words 'kind' and 'love' in art class. In PE, students are learning about heart rate and workout intensity levels. In library, students are preparing for the Global Reading Challenge and checking out super interesting books.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and the last day before break. Remind your child to bring home their lunch bags, jackets, and laptops.

Lost and Found is piling up. Come take a look or remind your child to look in the lost and found for their items.

Laptops should be coming home to anticipate any potential snow remote days. You can also have your child do Success Maker Math or Reading through Clever on their device. Just 12 - 15 minutes a day will have impact on their learning.
