Arrowwood Elementary

☀️ Field Day Update: Moved to Tuesday, May 26th!

Hi AWE Families,

We want our students to have the absolute best experience for our annual Field Day!

After closely monitoring the weather forecast, field day will take place on Tuesday, May 26th.

While it looks like the rain might hold off until later tomorrow, the temperatures are forecasted to be much lower than we’d like for a day of outdoor physical activity. To ensure everyone stays warm, comfortable, and has the most fun possible, we are moving the fun to Tuesday!

The Outlook for Tuesday:

Warmer Temperatures: Perfect for running and playing!

Clear Skies: Currently 0% chance of rain.

Same Schedule: All times for game rotations and our 5th/6th vs. Teachers games remain the same. Check details here.

Station Helpers: All our 5th and 6th-grade students are expected to be at school at 8 a.m. on Tuesday to help with setup.

Thank you for your flexibility and support as we work to make this a special day for our students.

We can't wait to see everyone in their House Team colors this coming Tuesday!

Best regards,

Myriam VF

🏅Field Day is Coming! | Friday, May 22nd

Dear Families,

We’re excited to announce that Field Day will take place on Friday, May 22nd!

🎯 The Logistics
Weather Date: If the weather does not cooperate, our backup date is Tuesday, May 26th.

Schedule: Field Day runs throughout the school day!

Lunch Note: Lunch will happen later than usual. Please ensure your child has a hearty breakfast and brings extra snacks to keep their energy up!

👕 House Team Colors
Each student has been assigned to a House Team (HT). Your classroom teacher will share your child's placement with you soon. We encourage students to wear their team color:

🔴 Avalanche – Red

🟠 Broncos – Orange

🔵 Nuggets – Blue

🟣 Rockies – Purple

Note: If your child has a team jersey, they are welcome to wear it—but any shirt in that color works great! Please do not feel the need to buy anything new.

⏰ Special Note for 5th & 6th Graders
As this is their final Field Day at AWE, our 5th and 6th graders will be taking on a leadership role!

Arrival Time: Please arrive at school at 8:00 AM to help set up the stations.

Role Models: They will be both playing and helping lead the games for the younger students, leaving their mark as ROAR role models.

☀️ What to Bring & Wear
To stay safe and comfortable, please send your child with:

✅ A full water bottle (or two!)

✅ Sunscreen (applied before school) and a hat.

✅ Sport shoes and comfortable athletic clothes.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Spectators
Families are welcome to watch the games from the perimeter of the field! As this is still a school day, teachers will remain responsible for their classes. If you plan to take your child for lunch or leave early, please coordinate with their classroom teacher in advance.

💡 Sportsmanship & ROAR Values
Field Day is about fun, teamwork, and community. We invite you to talk with your child about showing our ROAR values:

Resilience

Ownership

Acting Safely

Responsibility

Being a respectful team player is what makes this day a success!

Principal's Corner:

As we head into the final month of the school year, it is hard to believe how quickly the time has gone. This time of year always brings a mix of excitement, celebration, reflection, and bittersweet moments. We are especially feeling that as we prepare to say goodbye to our incredible 5th and 6th graders who will be moving on to middle school next year.

These students have helped shape the heart of Arrowwood, and while we are so excited for their next chapter, they will be deeply missed by our staff and school community.

At the same time, I continue to be incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our students are showing all the way through the very end of the year. Whether in classrooms, performances, assessments, projects, or extracurricular activities, our students continue to demonstrate perseverance, growth, and pride in their learning.

I also want to celebrate several of our talented student artists whose work was selected for the district Art Show that is currently taking place. We are thrilled to share that one of our students even earned an Honorable Mention Ribbon from the Art Show judges! Congratulations to all of our student artists for representing Arrowwood so well.

As a reminder, the last day of school for students will now be May 28. This is a change from the original district calendar date. DCSD previously sent communication to families regarding this adjustment, but we wanted to share the reminder here as well.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout this school year. We are looking forward to finishing the year strong together!

As always, thank you for your continued support of Arrowwood Elementary. We are so grateful for our strong, connected community of students, staff, and families. The final months of the school year are always filled with energy, growth, and celebration, and we look forward to finishing the year strong!

Here we go May!

The success of our students is truly a team effort, and we are so grateful for the ways you support learning both at home and at school.

Thank you for sharing your children with us each day and for helping make Arrowwood such a special community. We are looking forward to celebrating these final weeks together and finishing the year strong!

🏐 Volleyball Club Finale & Farewell Party!

Hi Volleyball Families,

Next week marks our final week of after-school clubs for the year! It has been an incredible season for our Volleyball Club. I am so proud to share that we averaged 10-12 players per session this year—a wonderful growth from when we started last year!

To celebrate our success and the progress the players have made, we will be having a Farewell Party during our last session on Wednesday, May 13th from 3:30–4:30 PM.

We want to give a special "Good Luck" send-off to our players who are headed to middle school next year. We will miss them on the court, but we are so excited to see them take their skills to the next level!

I truly hope to see everyone back on the court when clubs resume next school year.

Thank you for making this club such a successful and fun part of my week!
