McArthur Christmas Tree
We will have a McArthur Christmas tree displayed in the school for staff and students to enjoy. Each class will be given a clear ornament to work together and decorate for the Christmas Tree. The class will then go together to hang the ornament on the tree. Each year, we will hang past years' ornaments along with the new ones so students can look back on their past years.
Star Data
All students in Kindergarten through 5th grade will be bringing home their STAR AP2 data on December 1. Included with the data is a pink sheet with a barcode. When you scan the barcode, it brings up a short video to better understand the test results. The QR code to the video is below.

Lost and Found
Please make sure that if your child is missing a coat or jacket, you have them check our lost and found. It is over flowing the jackets and coats. After the Christmas break, we will be removing these.
