Principal's Corner

Arrowhead Community,
 
As our district moves through the challenges of its budget, I have been increasingly grateful for our Arrowhead community. We always come together to ensure students have what they need and that we, the adults, are taking care of each other. We have a remarkable community. I am proud of and impressed by Arrowhead staff, who approach problems with flexibility and creativity, and who are resilient and strong. I am grateful for our families, who are here every day volunteering in a thousand different ways, who step up to support each other in times of need, and who take the time to let staff know how much we are loved and appreciated.
 
Please come to Identity Night on Tuesday, April 16th. The evening will start at 5:30 with a gallery walk in your child’s classroom so you can see the work they have done on identity and community. Then, join us in the gym for small bites and conversation. I encourage you to bring a small picnic dinner. Eating together and engaging in conversation at the table builds a stronger community.
 
We had many families come to our Identity Night craft workshop. I can’t wait to see everyone’s board!

Our STEM night was a huge success. Thank you, PTA, for such a great evening. We still have our Hawk Walk, our Art Night, and Carnival to look forward to.
 
Enjoy the next week. I hope your mornings are a little more relaxed and there is much laughter and time together. When we return, the oak and the Bigleaf maples will have their leaves and the days will be longer. Spring is here!

Attendance Policy

Attendance Policies - Did You Know?

  • Arrowhead is required to send you a formal Attendance Letter if your child has 5 or more absences in a month—even if those absences are excused.  
  • We are required to send a formal letter for 1 UNexcused absence.  
  • If the number of absences continue and it may be having an impact, we will reach out and ask to meet. 
  • Lastly, if you know your child will be gone for more than 5 days in a row (e.g., for a trip) we ask that you fill out a Pre-Arranged Extended Absence Form and submit it to the Office at least 2 weeks prior to the absence.

We do value family experiences and we absolutely want you to keep an ill child home. So these policies may feel contradictory. However, the underlying purpose is good. It is good that we are giving you a heads-up reminder that absences are accumulating, because an absence—even for good reason may need remediation of some kind. 

As we return from Winter break and return to school routines, it is a good time to remember the impact of attendance and tardiness on student growth and progress. Research shows that students do better and feel better when they start the day smoothly, with their class, unhurried and feeling confident they know what’s happening. 

So, if you receive a letter, understand our purpose and intent, and if you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

Dean of Students

School Items - Please double check before your student leaves the house

We have noticed an increase in families dropping off items for the office to deliver to their student. We ask that you double check for the following items before leaving home: 

  • Lunches/Snack
  • Water Bottles
  • Jackets
  • Backpacks 

Ensuring that your student has these items before school starts will result in less classroom disruptions and more time for uninterrupted learning and fun! We appreciate you working with us on this matter. 

JEDI Spring Donation Drive April 15 - May 3

Hey Arrowhead! Are you ready to make a difference in someone's life? JEDI is back with our spring donation drive, and this time, we are collecting new, unopened, and unexpired boxes of cereal! And guess what? All the boxes of cereal we collect will be donated to the food banks at Kenmore Senior Center, the Northshore Senior Center, and Cedar Park Church.

But that's not all! From April 15 - May 3, we will be collecting boxes of cereal, and once we are done, we'll create a domino setup of all the boxes of cereal. And then comes the most exciting part - we'll invite everyone at Arrowhead to watch as we knock them down! Our goal is to collect enough cereal boxes to encircle the whole school! Imagine being a part of this fantastic event and making a tangible impact on someone's life. So, come on, let's get collecting those cereal boxes!

PTA Identity Night April 16

Get ready to celebrate our diverse community at Arrowhead Elementary's Identity Night! 

After the success of Craft Night, where families crafted their family artifact posters, we're thrilled to invite you to the main event!

Join us on April 16th from 5:30-7:00PM for a memorable evening of sharing and embracing our family identities. Formerly known as Multicultural Night, Identity Night is an opportunity to honor our differences and similarities that unite us as a community. 

Still Need to Turn in or Make an Artifact?

Arrowhead Families are asked to make a family artifact, such as a poster or some sort of display to show-off their unique identity. Please make sure to get your artifact or poster to Ms. Poe in the front office by Monday April 15th so that they can be set up in our artifact showcase! If you need supplies for your poster, please reach out to identitynight@ptaarrowhead.org or pjoya@nsd.org. Art supplies are available in the PTA corner in the front office.

These displays can show:

Origin Stories:

  • Where did you grow up?
  • Where are your children growing up?
  • How did/does place impact you/your family?

Values:

  • What is important to your family?
  • What do you believe?
  • How do you spend time together?
  • What communities do you belong to?

Traditions:

  • What rituals do you practice?
  • What do you make a point to celebrate?
  • What interests or hobbies get passed through generations?

Families are also encouraged to bring some food to share. Lite bites will be provided by the PTA. 

We are looking for a handful of volunteers for set up and take down. See our sign up link below to volunteer. Thank you for your help! We can't wait to see you there!

Smart Watch and other Devices at School Policy

Students may wear “SmartWatches” to school. However, they may NOT use these watches to do any of the following during school hours: 

NO texting or calling 

NO video or audio recording

Students who do not follow these rules may have their watch/device held by the principal until a parent or guardian picks it up. This rule is consistent with Northshore’s policies as stated on the NSD website: 

Students using cell phones and other electronic devices irresponsibly during the school day may have the electronic device confiscated and be subject to disciplinary action.

If the student is involved in an administration interview or investigation, to maintain integrity throughout the process, a student may be asked to provide their cell phone to an office staff member or the investigating administrator. It  will  be returned  to the student  or parent at  the conclusion  of the interview/investigation.

Reasonable efforts will be taken to secure property that has been confiscated (i.e. lock the item in a drawer, take the item to the office to be secured in a locked area, etc.); in order to prevent the loss, damage, or theft of any electronic device as a result of being confiscated.

Parent Pick Up Reminders

A road closure on Juanita Drive at dismissal caused one of our buses to return to school with students earlier in the year. We noticed that we need to better communicate our caregiver pick up process. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding. Please note the process below:

  • Students will be in a secure location with staff
  • Communication may come from Transportation, Central Office, or Arrowhead
  • Caregivers picking up students need to come to the main office with their ID 

Student safety is our top priority. Once we've verified a caregiver's ID, we will release students to your care. We appreciate your adherence to this process.

Seasonal Allergies

The allergy season is starting very early this year, and predications are that it will extend longer than usual. Tree pollen - cedar, alder, birch and cottonwood are the major culprits in March and April. 

We are seeing more students with allergy eyes, which is sometimes confused with pink eye which can be a viral or bacterial infection that is contagious. 

See below for some tips to help distinguish between the two and links for further information.

Is it Allergies or Pink Eye? 

Differences between pink eye vs. allergies are:
  • Allergies typically affect both eyes at once, while pink eye typically starts in one eye before spreading to infect both eyes.
  • Pink eye is associated with mild itchiness while allergies have intense itchiness and burning.
  • Pink eye can have a mucus-like discharge of pus while allergies can produce a white stringy discharge.
  • Pink eye can crust your eyelashes, causing your eye to stick shut—allergies should not.
  • Pink eye is contagious, so people around you or living with you may be infected as well.

Allergy eye symptoms

Eye allergies typically cause symptoms like:

  • Burning
  • Itching
  • Light sensitivity
  • Redness
  • Swelling of the eyelids
  • Watery eyes
Causes

Allergens, including dust mites, mold, pet dander, and pollen, cause eye allergies. Your body overreacts when one of those harmless substances comes into contact with your eye and releases histamine. This chemical causes the blood vessels in the conjunctiva to swell, resulting in itchy, red, and watery eyes. Symptoms can appear right away after exposure. 

Pink eye symptoms

Pink eye typically occurs in one eye, but it can eventually spread to the other eye. You can experience symptoms in one or both eyes:

  • Redness
  • Itchiness
  • Green or white mucus-like discharge
  • Dried, yellow crust in eyes (especially in the morning)
  • Sensitivity to bright lights
  • Swollen around the eye(s)
  • Gritty feeling in the eye(s)
Causes

Pink eye is caused by a viral or bacterial infection, and both are very contagious. The most common (viral) comes from exposure to a viral infection like the common cold. Bacterial pink eye is caused by exposure to a bacterial infection. It may be several days from exposure before symptoms appear. 

How To Prevent Spreading Pink Eye

  • Wash hands regularly.
  • Avoid touching your eyes.
  • Change and clean your contact lenses as instructed.
  • Do not share personal items like towels, face cloths, make-up brushes and anything that comes in contact with the eye or eye lid. 
  • Regularly change your pillowcases.
  • Replace eye makeup if it expires.

When to see a doctor

If you don’t know the cause of your conjunctivitis, head to the doctor. They can confirm if you have a contagious form of pink eye—like viral or bacterial. Your doctor might also prescribe antibiotic eye drops for bacterial pink eye, which can help you recover faster. As for viral pink eye, most meds won’t be effective, so you’ll likely have to wait a week or two for the infection to clear up on its own, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

It’s also a good idea to call your doctor if your symptoms become severe. Think: eye pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, intense redness, or symptoms that don’t improve with antibiotics, according to the CDC. You should also seek medical care if you have a condition that causes a weakened immune system.

Tips to Help Manage Your Allergies

Shower after being outdoors To remove pollen you pick up outside, take a shower and change your clothes.

Minimize indoor pollen Keep your windows shut and use your AC or a HEPA purifier to filter allergens.

Check the Weather Learn when conditions such as the wind increase pollen levels, so you can prepare.

Know your allergy relief options From medications to nasal sprays, talk to your doctor about your options.

Spring Break 

If you are traveling over Spring Break and arriving home late on Sunday night, please keep in mind that your student may not be ready for school first thing on Monday morning. If they are overly tired or have ill symptoms, please keep your student at home. If you are not sure whether you should send your student to school, please call before sending them. 

Mental Health & Crisis Support:

  • You are not alone. There are community supports for mental health, suicide prevention, substance abuse, self-harm, and more. Click here for more information.
