Principal's Message - Sweaters, Water Bottles & the Random Shoe
Dear Arleta Families - With the weather changing, you know doubt are sending your students to school in more layers, which means more lost & found.
With two buildings, it's difficult to know where clothes belong and to create one space that is convenient to all families. We have put a rolling rack in the annex and a table in the main building, both near the front doors. Please check this areas regularly to see if your students missing sweater, sweatshirt or coat are here.
We will continue to remind students to pick up their layers as they shed them during recess. Families can help get clothes back to students by labeling all outerwear and possible layers.
Please remember as well that students run throughout the day and safe footwear is essential to a student enjoying recess and PE.
If you have questions, concerns or thoughts, please text or call 971-347-4566 or email dkruger@pps.net
Sincerely, Diana
SCHOOL PICTURES UPDATE
We went with a new photography company this year, and were not aware that order forms had the option of class picture. Class pictures will be done in the spring during our spring photo day on March 10, 2020. If you ordered a class photo, you will receive it in the Spring.
Also, picture retakes are Friday, November 8th.

INVITATION TO JOIN ECO-SCHOOL NETWORK
We are looking for a few dedicated volunteers to lead sustainability efforts at Arleta. Small teams have formed at 70 schools around Oregon through the Eco-School Network and have made significant changes in their schools, from eliminating plastic utensils to anti-idling campaigns. There are lots of opportunities to make create a healthier environment for our students.
The commitment is attending 4 free trainings, 6:30-8:15pm on Mondays Oct 14, 21, 28, and Nov 4th, and likely some additional meeting times to plan and implement changes.
