From the PTA
Happy Healthy Heart Month! Red is symbolic for love and health and we have many events in the month of February that remind us of these two!
Our Happy Camper Scholastic Bookfair will be kicking off the week of February 12th. Look for information to come home early next week about our book fair!
On Thursday, February 16th, from 1:00-7:00 pm, come be a “Pint-Sized Hero” and help your school and community out by donating blood. The American Red Cross will be on hand to host and deliver delicious juice and cookies to those that donate.
Just because the Lions didn’t make The Super Bowl this year, doesn’t mean you still can’t have a Super Bowl Party! Remember to shop at Kroger with your linked Kroger Card to benefit your school!
Also, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and maybe your students class is having a party? Kroger has great deals on treats and Valentine’s for friends and maybe even a Special Teacher. If you can’t find what you need at Kroger, Amazon Smiles will probably have what you’re looking for! When you shop at either place, it helps benefit your school!
If you have a 5th Grader at Arno, Mrs. Hool needs your help! She’s trying to put together a photo collage for the outgoing 5th Graders and needs a parent volunteer to help her out. She will provide the photos, but she needs your help organizing them and creating that special, tear-jerking, photo collage. If you’re interested or would like more information about the project, please contact Mrs. Hool at: hool@appublicschools.com.
Have a great weekend and remember that Monday, February 6th is the beginning of Spirit Week, so dress your Caring Cougar in their Arno Spirit Wear!
Parent/Teacher Conferences
On Feb. 15th and 16th, 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 Conference Sign Up page that has all teacher links to sign up for a time slot or see below.
Please feel free to come in for the book fair even if you don’t have a conference scheduled.
Winter/Spring Conferences 2017
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 27 to Feb. 10. 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 2017-18 school year. Thank you very much, please click on the link to start the survey:

100% Book Return Club

PBIS
Arno Cougars were getting their energy out last Friday when we had a guest instructor come in for The January PBIS reward, which was Zumba. As you can see below, it was a great, healthy way to celebrate our positive behavior.
