Final Blog of the 2017/18 School year
It has once again been my pleasure to be of service to you as principal of Arno Elementary this school year. We have had such a great year with so much academic success and so many wonderful activities sponsored by our awesome teachers and wonderful PTA that included Daddy-Daughter Dance, Mother-Son bowling night, Bingo for Books, Fun Fair, field day, Caring Cougar food drive, and of course our latest, the Color Run. I cannot thank you enough for being a working partner with for your child’s education and bright future. I encourage you to help your child retain what they have learned over the summer by reading lots of books and making fun trips to the library.

From the PTA
As our year comes to an end and many of the existing Executive Board Members step down from their positions to allow new faces and ideas help transform the PTA throughout the next year, we just wanted to take a moment to reflect on all of the good things that has happened at Arno over the past 2 years!

Arno Planting Day
Office closes June 22
Arno school offices close for the summer on June. Registration continues for the fall throughout the summer at Riley offices. The offices will reopen on August 20.
Class Lists- Important Changes
It is very important that you are sure your email address is updated in our system as class lists will not be posted this year, instead they will be emailed out via MiStar Parent Connect on August 31. Paper copies will be available the first day of school to be sure everyone gets to their correct classroom.
School Supply Lists
Suggested school supply lists will be available by the end of June on our district web page (Arno page). As always, supplies are recommended but not required.
Senior Walk
This year’s Senior Walk will be at Arno June 1 @1:30. Our proud graduates will be walking our halls for some final memories. It’s a great moment for all!
5th Grade Celebration
We are looking forward to another wonderful 5th grade graduation ceremony on June 13th at 9:00. Following the ceremony there will be “picnic” for all the students with lots of yummy treats. Please contact the office with any questions.

M-STEP Is Complete
3rd grade wrapped up their testing and now the whole building is complete this year! Our Arno students did a tremendous job despite the challenges of testing- we are so very proud of their effort! Initial scores for the M-STEP will not be available until the fall, we will certainly inform you when the individual reports come out.
High School Jazz Band Visit
We recently had a visit from the high school jazz band that rocked the gym with some great music! Our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders were treated to an awesome start to their day and we loved seeing some of our former Arno kids!
