PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

     Dear Families,

           I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing fall break and survived all the ghosts and goblins around Bloomington!  It turned out to be a beautiful weekend!  

      As you know, on October 15, I had the opportunity to come together with a group of Arlington parents.  We enjoyed food, fellowship, and great conversation.  Each individual discussed their hopes and dreams for Arlington.  Since a limited number of families were able to attend, the PTO and I would like for you to have another way to voice your thoughts.  By the end of this week, we will send home a parent questionnaire.  We ask that you take time to complete the questionnaire and return it to school with your child by Friday,    November 13.  The information will be compiled and will be used to guide our future PTO discussions.  In addition to the parent survey, I would like to send a similar survey to our staff.  The hope is that together as staff & families, we may begin taking steps to co-create our new vision for Arlington! 

    May you all have a wonderful November!  J

       Ms. Vitols
