Welcome Back to School
We are so excited to welcome back Arrowhead students and families for what will be another awesome school year. Arrowhead teachers took some time this week to write positive and inspirational messages on the Arrowhead sidewalk welcoming our students back to school for the 2019-2020 school year. Our district wide theme is Be the one...to encourage, to empower, to inspire. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year!
Welcome Back to School Assembly
We held our annual "Welcome Back to School Assembly". During the assembly, we reviewed the school rules as Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible. In addition, each staff member introduced themselves to our students. Lastly, Mrs. Cohen, our new school counselor, conducted a mini lesson in conjunction with our District Theme of "Be the One." Students were encouraged and provided with examples of how they can "Be the One" to Encourage, to Empower, and to Inspire." See photos below
Arrowhead Library transformation
We are thankful for the kindness and generosity of the Methacton Education Foundation. Through grant money provided, all elementary schools have been able to transform their libraries into collaborative maker space environments. As such, students will be able to utilize and incorporate the 4 C's relative to STEM and STEAM learning initiatives. The 4 C's are critial thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration. Our students have already taken advantage of transformed library. Students in Mr. Yosifon's class are pictured enjoying the new flexible library seating while practicing the “Read to Self” component of the Daily 5.
Students are back to work on day 2!
Our students transitioned beautifully back to school. In the photos below our kindergarten students are hard at work learning new and exciting things. Mrs. Reid's grade 2 class is using our chrome books to create videos for their parents in preparation of our Back to School Night! #ARROWHEADROCKS

Teacher learning during district in-service
Just as students are learning new things every day our outstanding teachers engage in learning too. This week, district teachers participated in multiple learning opportunities during our in-service days. Teachers learned about the importance of STEM related activities and teaching strategies they can incorporate into their daily lessons. We will focus our lessons around the 4 C's.
