ARSA Important Information
Please remember that the survey comes directly to you via Hanover Research, independent education research firm. We have until December 12th to complete the survey. The survey is completely anonymous and any only identifier is that you are correctly linked to ARSA.
Please take the time and provide feedback. The Climate Survey is data that is collected twice a year by the district and is taken very seriously by the campus and the district. The survey data gives you an idea of what your colleagues think of ARSA and what we are doing and achieving. The data informs us of our perceived strengths and weaknesses in the areas of:
- alignment of vision, mission,
- instructional leadership,
- professional development,
- morale, discipline, facilities, safety
- effectiveness of professional learning communities and teacher practices
- principal/leadership and support/relationship with teachers/staff
Climate is the heart of your school and we want to take a moment to highlight all the great things we are about at ARSA and where we need to spend some time improving. It is an internal and external document and this is one way we share what we value at ARSA!!
Our goal is 100% participation.
As a Thank You for participating
Please send/ or hard copy of your completion confirmation to Ms. Garcia and pick up your

Spotlight on Holiday Tree Project ~ Ms. Wilson's Art Classes
The students drew a still life of holiday season items and colored them using water colored pencils. They also wrote "Thankful for my Teacher" greetings and displayed as ornaments on the tree.
Spotlight on Ms. Mcdonald
Shout out to my math neighbor! I wish I had a math teacher like her when I was in school. She makes the difficult things simple and fun. Her kids know she sees them and that they have value, which makes them value the content. I know this to be true because she has a constant stream of students who are excited to come to tutoring! She is an asset to the Penthouse and to the lives of many young people.
