It has been my pleasure to spend this first year at Arno as your principal. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all the warm welcomes, friendly faces, and support I received from students, parents, and staff. I am truly blessed to have been in such a place that cares so deeply about education, and each other. As I reflect on the year, I have seen first hand the “whatever it takes” attitude throughout our halls in helping every one of our kids learn. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your child’s education and many blessings onto you for the next school year.
Thank you,
Stephen Zielinski, Principal
You know its the end of the year when…
If the entire class gets 100% on any assignment, Mr Creutz made an agreement to do something fun. This is the first class that actually cashed in on the promise when they successfully completed a social studies assignment 100% across the board. see if you can guess what he had to do…
In case you missed it…
We had the pleasure of having current graduating students, who were also former Arno students, march through our halls one last time to the sound of loud applause. Some of the seniors even found a hand print on the wall that they painted so many years ago. Congratulations to all of our AP High School graduating seniors.
No Backpacks please…
Please note that students may continue to carry backpacks through Monday, June 13. They will no longer be allowed for the next 3 half days leading up to the last day.
Last week’s Schedule
Please remember that we have three half-days on June 14, 15, and 16. Dismissal time is 11:40 each day, there is no lunch served on any of those days- breakfast continues as normal. Latchkey service is available on those half-days.
5th Grade Leadership
Recently, a note went home to 4th graders asking them for 3 choices of leadership positions in the building, safety, mentor, and broadcast. Please understand that we did our best to place kids, but it may not have been their first choice. All of the roles are very important here, so we try to strike a balance for each area. Thank you to everyone who opted for a position.
Arno Tentative Staff Schedule for 2016-2017
We are going to giving a big Arno welcome to Nickie Stanley, in kindergarten from Bennie. Nickie is an excellent teacher and we are excited to bring her on staff for our kindergarten team. On the opposite, we will be saying goodbye to Ashley Liedel and Samantha Yesh. They have served the Arno kindergarten well over the past years and there skills will be missed. Mrs. Liedel and Ms. Yesh are moving over to the Bennie Kindergarten program.
In addition, a new media technology special has been created by the district for students to learn 21st century literacy skills in technology. Carrie Solak (former 4th grade) has been assigned that post.
