The first eight days of school have been great! Our littlest learners are quickly catching on to routines and expectations. All of our Whirlwinds are getting to know their teachers and classmates. Every day we start with a class meeting to reinforce positive relationships, to set classroom goals, to problem solve and to celebrate accomplishments.

High school A+ students have started assisting in elementary classrooms. We love our K-12 setting for this reason. The elementary students love seeing their big kid helpers throughout the day!

Be sure to stay connected with everything Archie by downloading the new app or checking out the new website! Calendars, updates, contact information and much more can be found within these two resources.

I look forward to learning and growing with you and your families this year!
