I hope everyone is staying warm.  Please remember to look for your child's report card this week.  If you have questions regarding your child's grade please contact the teachers as conferences are not held in the winter.

Keep warm this weekend! ~Mrs. Melissa Martin

Re-Enrollment at Arbor Academy The State of Michigan establishes rules and guidelines governing the operation of Charter Schools.  A portion of these guidelines pertain to admission requirements as part of being a school of choice.  The State requires that each child must be re-enrolled in the Charter School they are currently attending to reserve their space for the fall of 2012.  Each child who is currently enrolled is then guaranteed a space as long as the re-enrollment form is completed and returned to the school by 4:00 pm on February 15, 2012. NEW ENROLLMENT Enroll your child for the 2012-2013 School Year.  Open enrollment for new students for this upcoming school year ENDS on Wednesday, February 29th at 4:00 pm.  All applications received before February 29th at 4:00 pm will be date stamped.  All returning students must return their re-enrollment form by February 15th to secure their spot at Arbor. If you have questions regarding enrollment or re-enrollment please contact Mrs. Kok or Mrs. Stech in the office.
