that strive for academic excellence-
Parent Surveys
It’s that time of year already in our school improvement planning where we need to send out surveys to our Arno stakeholders. You will have the opportunity to take a brief survey from the State of Michigan rating some of your experiences here at Arno. The survey will be available Jan 18 to Feb. 7. We will be providing the link to it via email blast on that day, as well as posting it in the blog below. If you are unable to access via computer, we will also have a computer set up in the office if you wish to take it there. Giving us good feedback helps us plan better to meet the needs of every Cougar stakeholder. In addition, students and staff also take a similar survey during the school day.
All of the feedback you provide is then summarized and becomes part of our school improvement plan for the 2018-19 school year. Thank you very much, please click on the link to start the survey:

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Winter conferences are coming up quick on February 6 and 7 from 5:00-7:30 each night. This conference is slightly different in that not every family generally attends, but is still open as an option for all who would like a conference with the teacher. Some fast facts:
1. If your classroom teacher is requesting a conference with you, you will receive a notice.
2. If you did not receive a notice from the teacher, you may still request a conference with the teacher OR decide that you don’t feel a conference is necessary at this time.
3. All classroom links will come from the teacher and be live on this Friday’s blog release to sign up for a time on signupgenius for those who need to attend conferences.
4. Report Cards go home on March 15
**Once again, please do not sign up for a slot on signupgenius if a conference is not needed at this point.

Suggested items are cereal, cereal breakfast bars, pop tarts, and any canned food items such as vegetables, fruits, and tuna. Pasta and pasta sauce, macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles, various types of snacks, and any quick fix meal or food item. We are also looking for personal hygiene items to be donated as well as socks. A PTA member will be transporting our boxes to the HS Pantry. Thank you again for your continuous support for our Allen Park Families.

You are cordially invited to participate in a unique program presented by the Allen Park High School Drama Club that will pair books, one of our favorite Disney Princesses and an opportunity to create a deeper love for reading in elementary aged students.
Parent Requirements: If you choose for your child to participate, you will be asked to help them in two ways. The first is for them to keep a reading log showing at least 20 minutes of reading per day for the length of the program. The second is to bring them on four separate Saturdays to the Allen Park Center for the Arts for a read-aloud with Ariel and her friends from The Little Mermaid. At these events, students who bring their reading log will be able to choose a free, new book to take home.
Student Requirements: Students will keep a reading log showing at least 20 minutes of reading every night beginning January 26. Join us on four Saturday mornings sit with Ariel and her friends as they read a story. After Storytime, students will get their logs stamped and be invited to choose a book to take home, free of charge (total of four free books per participating child). Students who complete the program will be given a free ticket to our stage production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid on their choice of performance dates: March 15,16,17, 22, 23, 2019.
