Parent/Teacher Conferences
On Feb. 10th and 11th, Arno will host parent/teacher conferences in the evening from 5:00-7:30 each day. We will once again be using signupgenius for all available slots to be filled.
The spring/winter conferences are meant for those who either received a teacher request for conference OR for parents who still wish to meet with the teacher. If you feel comfortable with your child’s progress, and you did not receive a teacher request- then you may choose to not attend this round.
For those parents who have a teacher request OR if you would like to request a conference for your child- Please click on the above tab marked “Pages” and look for the spring conference page that has all teacher links to sign up for a time slot.
Please feel free to come in for the bookfair even if you don’t have a conference scheduled.

Mission for Miles School Challenge
The sponsors of the Martian Marathon, Running Fit of Ann Arbor, are issuing a school challenge! In an effort to encourage healthy lifestyles, Running Fit is offering Arno Elementary students and families a $5 off code when registering for the 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon. The school with the most participants will win a Flyer Saucer Pancake Party by Chris Cakes!
On the day of the race, there will be a meeting spot for Arno Elementary but there will not be a group start for the 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon since these are timed races. There will be NO group packet pick-up prior to race day. Individuals are responsible for picking up their own packets. Those students participating in the Cougar Tracks Club Kids’ Martian Marathon can run both! For those participating in the Cougar Tracks Club race, there will be group packet pick-up and group start time.
