Archie Elementary- It's About Time!
Back to School Information - August 2023
Welcome back note from Mrs.Stroud!
It is that time of year, time to start talking about back to school! I hope all of you found time to enjoy the things you love and spent quality time together. Summer flies by for students, families and staff!
If you happen to run into a teacher, be sure to give them a big pat on the back. Many of them have attended conferences, read professional books, collaborated with teammates or attended meetings at school. We have a dedicated staff that wants to be the best they can be for your children!
Now is a great time to start bedtime routines, eating lunch or dinner in approximately 20 minutes and discussing what your family is excited about this year. I encourage you to continue to make daily reading a part of your bedtime routine. This can be a wonderful time for you to read a chapter book as a family or for your child to practice reading out loud.
Just a reminder that OPEN ENROLLMENT for returning students occured through the month of July. If you have not completed registration, please do so ASAP. New families to the district will need to stop by the school on August 3rd or 4th between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to start the registration process.
I am excited to start the 2023-2024 school year with you and your family! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the upcoming school year.
Have a great rest of the summer!

PARENTS AS TEACHERS (PAT)
All About PAT
If you haven't heard all about our PAT program, you will this year as we are looking to tremendously increase our services to families. Check out the questions and answers below to learn about PAT.
- Who can participate in PAT? *All families with children ages prenatal to not yet in Kindergarten are invited to join Parents as Teachers.
- How much does it cost? *PAT is FREE!
- What are the benefits of PAT? *Playdates provide an opportunity to meet other families while participating in a fun activity with your child. Family visits allow you to collaborate with a PAT educator who focuses on your child's needs. Free screenings provide parents with developmental details to help support their child.
- What do the PAT Educators do? *Archieβs PAT educators are always working to help the children and families of Archie! Building relationships, sharing developmental information and finding resources for the families is a priority.
- How often and where do we meet for PAT? * Families are in control of the frequency of visits and what group events you attend. Monthly visits work for some, while others prefer bi-monthly or quarterly visits. Some families choose to participate in developmental screenings and group events. Visits can be held in the home or at the school. Playdates and family nights are held at school or in town.
- How does this affect my preschool student? *All preschool attendees are required to have at least 2 PAT visits throughout the school year. This helps us make sure each family and preschooler is prepared for kindergarten.
- How do I connect and join? *Join Archie Parents as Teachers on Facebook for upcoming events. Call the school at (816)293-5312 and ask to be transferred to PAT. If you prefer email, send it to kreynolds@archie.k12.mo.us
