We have lot going on in the next week, so I wanted to send out a special blog post with all of the information.
Next Week's Schedule:
Monday: We will have our regular class schedule. We will have lunch in the room and will celebrate summer birthdays. If your child has a summer birthday and would like to bring a treat or snack to share they are welcome to do so!
Tuesday: Regular class schedule. We will have specials, take the History test and the End of Year Math Assessment. As I stated earlier, this test has no influence on their grades. It simply will be an opportunity for us to gauge where students are for next year, help us know what areas we need to focus on, and make any summer school referrals.
Wednesday: Half Day, early dismissal, 11:45. We will have specials on Wednesday and will take the Science test. We will also be taking the last hour of the day to clean the room and desks. Please send in a couple of grocery bags for your students to bring home their materials.
Thursday: Half Day, early dismissal, 11:45. We will take the roots test first thing and then will head to the gym for the graduation ceremony. Please see below for detailed instructions on this. This will be followed by a barbecue and is only $5 a person!
Friday: Half Day, early dismissal, 11:45. We will be having a fifth grade kickball game first thing in the morning, and will then head back to the classroom for our Secret Garden Japanese Tea Party. We will need volunteers and lots of supplies for this, so please take a look at the sign-up genius:

We will finish the day at 11:45.....and SUMMER VACATION BEGINS!!
Fifth Grade Promotion Info:
On Thursday, May 21st, Archway Arete will
honor the achievements of our fifth grade scholars and formally promote them to
the 6th grade and the prep school! This special ceremony will take place
from 10:45-11:45AM on that Thursday in the gymnasium. All parents,
siblings and relatives are invited to attend. Parents wanting Archway or
Prep siblings to attend will need to come early and sign their students out in
the office. There will be light refreshments following the event and lots
of photo ops. For those who will not be able to attend, the event will be
videotaped.
Fifth grade graduate attire is as follows:
Boys: Dress shirt & pants, tie/bow tie, belt and dress shoes. There is no color requirement. No jeans or shorts. Boys may wear a suit, but it will be a warm day. No hats.
Girls: A formal dress like one would wear to church or a wedding. It should not have spaghetti straps or be strapless. The length of the dress/skirt should reach the TOP of the knee. Hosiery is optional. Girls should wear appropriate dress shoes; a moderate heel is allowable. There is no color requirement. Hair should be neat and appropriate for the occasion. No hats, tiaras, etc.
the students will participate in a rehearsal on that Thursday morning from 9:45-10:35. Guests may begin arriving through the south gym doors at 10:30. There will be both floor and bleacher seating. Friday, May 22nd is a half-day school day in which the students will be involved in reflection activities, self-evaluation/goal setting, desk clean out, and room inventory. There will also be special festivities they will not want to miss.
If you have any questions concerning the ceremony, attire, or how you can help, please contact Mrs. Keffer @tkeffer@archwayarete.org.
