Pokemon Cards
Pokemon cards have been increasingly been an issue in the classroom causing some disruptions as well as some conflict. I am asking that all students keep their Pokemon cards at home for the rest of the school year to prevent any further issues in the building. Thank you for your help in this matter
March is Reading Month
March is fast approaching and we are gearing up for our One Book, One School theme for this year’s reading month activities. Our book for this activity will be “Winter according to Humphrey“. The oldest child in every family will receive a copy, so that there is at least one per household. The calendar is attached below and contains all the info you will need to know about all the happenings here at Arno, and what should be going on at home. Please let your teacher know if you clarification on anything.

Spirit Week Wrap Up…
Arno Data
As part of our ongoing commitment to the analysis of student data for continuous improvment, I wanted to share this with our community. This data report is for Winter 2018, after our latest round of assessments that include DIBELS (Reading), DRA (Reading) and NWEA (Reading and Math). We are especially proud of our numbers as we have seen significant growth since fall, and we are on track to meet our targets. The data is broken down by Tiers-
Tier 1- The Core- this is where we want at least 80% of our kids to be at or above grade level by the end of the year
Tier 2- This group should lower down to 15% of the building by year’s end. This group maybe slightly below level, and receives additional instruction
Tier 3- This group should be down to 5% or lower by year’s end. This group can be 1 or more years behind academically, and requires more intense intervention.
The key data markers by winter- we would like to see Tier 3 shrinking, and Tier 1 growing. If you have any questions on the data, please contact me at 313-827-1050

Title 1 Blog
We would to inform you of our new Title I blog brought to you by Mrs. Gorski, our Title I teacher. Title I is a federal program that gives dollars to school with higher populations at-risk students. We are a School-wide school for service, which means our whole population qualifies to benefit from services, parent meetings, resources, etc.

From the Red Cross…
Thank you for continuing your partnership with the Red Cross. During the drive we saw 21 donors and collected 19 products on a goal of 20. Excellent numbers especially given the very cold weather and the cold and flu season being in full swing! And the most important note of all is this drive will touch the lives of 57 patients!
Again, I thank you for all of your hard work. Please pass along our thanks to everyone that was involved!
Best regards,
Beth Harris
