Welcome to School!
This is the beginning of an exciting and challenging journey for both students and parents. Together we can make these years a great success socially, emotionally, and academically. Please take some time to review this guide with your child and familiarize yourselves with what will be expected. Throughout the course of the school year, students will be working toward meeting the New York State Next Generation of English Language Arts Standards for their grade level.
In Arlington, we are committed to helping every student establish the habits of a lifelong learner. With this lofty goal in mind, we would like to share with you some resources that will help support your young scholar on their journey.
