Spotlight on 6th Grade Team
Hats off to the 6th grade team for coming together to reward our great citizens. Teachers spent time cooking, serving, and cleaning so our students could feel special. Special thanks goes to Ms. Quintana, Ms. Summers, and Ms. Mhlanga for helping with the event. The students enjoyed nachos, drinks, and a little music. It was nacho average snack.

Spotlight on ARSA Staff
At this time the ARSA Counseling team would like to sincerely thank the ARSA staff for ALWAYS supporting the counseling department. We truly appreciate each of you and the hard work you do for our students and parents. Thank you for entrusting us to handle the social and academic needs of our students. We could not do what we do without your support!
Spotlight on Ms. Cardenas and Ms. Tovar:
I want to give a sincere thank you to Ms. Cardenas and Ms. Tovar for their selfless act of kindness toward 6th grade. They offered to prepare chip bowls for our citizenship celebration and worked diligently to help make it an all-around good time. Thank you ladies. We appreciate you!!
Spotlight on Mr. Hoff
Good morning,
I would like to submit a spotlight for Mr. Hoff. He is the 7th Grade math teacher for pod B.
Mr. Hoff played an integral role in helping with my transition as a new teacher at ARSA. Joining the ARSA family in the middle of the year was difficult. There was so much to learn, so much to do, and only so much time within the day to figure it all out.
Every step of the way Mr. Hoff was there sharing ideas, giving advice, and allowing me to borrow materials. While this may not seem like much to the average person it really helped smoothen my transition as a first year teacher.
Spotlight on Ms. Joliffe
Ms. Joliffe is awesome!! She is one of the most dependable teachers. She always helps me with lunch duty and when parents have complaints, she is always willing to sit down and resolve the issue.
She always has the students best interest at heart and is a foundation to our ARSA community. Thank you Ms. Joliffe for your dedication. You are greatly appreciated.
