Dear Parents,

The Arp Schools are working to communicate more closely with parents for the benefit of each child. We are working on ways to keep you informed and an active part of the educational process. We have several new services that we hope you will take advantage of:

(2)  Parent Email contact information – learn more at:  http://www.arp.sprnet.org/admin/News/2005_06/Parent_email.htm

(3)  Student reading and book lists available by grade level/department online: http://www.arp.sprnet.org/curric/student_reading_lists_by_grade_l.htm#12  This service has not been completed yet, but when it is complete we hope it will help you direct your child’s reading habits.

(4)  Parents are invited to become part of the Campus Improvement Committees. You can do this by contacting the campus principal or emailing them by selecting campus at: http://www.arp.sprnet.org/default/Campus_Infor.htm and then Clicking on their picture.
