We are looking forward to our Meet the Teacher Open House on Monday, August 3. During the event times listed below families are invited to meet their child's teacher, visit the classroom and deliver books and supplies. Reminder: Students should come dressed in full uniform to our Meet the Teacher event.


Parents should plan to attend the Meet the Teacher based on the student's last name during the times below. Families will receive an introductory email from their classroom teachers on the morning of the Meet the Teacher and class assignments will be posted at the event as well.


Meet the Teacher Times (by student last name):


A-L: 1:00-2:30 PM

M-Z: 3:00-4:30 PM


During Meet the Teacher, there will be a School Info Fair in the Archway Multipurpose Room (MPR) featuring representatives from our Parent Service Organization (PSO), the Hot Lunch program, after-school Athenaeum, the School Nurse, and front office staff to answer questions.


Families will receive their PINK pick-up cards in the classroom of their oldest (or only) Archway student during Meet the Teacher night. Please note: Pick-up cards from last year are no longer valid. They cannot be used for student pickup.The PSO will also have a Back-to-School Photo Spot where you can take your child's photo to celebrate the new school year!


Medication and Health Plan Drop-off

Parents should bring any medications and 26-27 medical plans to the health office staff table during Meet the Teacher Night.Having these items available ahead of time will help us ensure we are ready to support students on the first day of school.


Limited Edition Spirit Wear will be sold at the PSO table during Meet the Teacher! Our first Archway Spirit Day is Friday, August 28 so this is your chance to stock up while supplies last!

The first day of school is memorable for students and parents. To honor this special moment for incoming Kindergarten students, Kindergarten parents will be able to walk their child onto the playground and spend a few minutes with their child on the first day of school during the times noted below. Class sections will be communicated by email on Monday, August 3.

First Day of Kindergarten - Thursday, August 6

Traffic Flow for Student Drop-off/Pick-up


Please carefully review the Archway Traffic Flow for Student Drop-off and Pick-up and reach out with any questions. Taking the time to understand these procedures will help to ensure the safety of our students/staff and a smooth traffic flow. 


IMPORTANT: Please follow the link below to review the DETAILED Archway Traffic Flow Plan and be sure to share this link with anyone authorized to drop-off/pick-up your children.


*View the DETAILED Archway Traffic Flow Procedures*


General Reminders:


  • Morning Drop-off is from 7:20-7:47 AM. Parents who wish to drop-off earlier must enroll in Early Drop-off Club
  • Parents in the drop-off/pick-up zone must remain in their vehicle. Faculty will assist students exiting their vehicles, however, faculty are not allowed to assist students with car seats, so parents are highly encouraged to practice prior to the start of the year so that students are able to do that independently.
  • Please have your PINK pick-up card clearly displayed on your dashboard during pick-up to help keep our process running smoothly. Pick-up cards will be handed out at Meet the Teacher in your oldest Archway child's classroom.
  • Due to limited parking, there will be NO walk-up option for student drop-off/pick-up at this time.
  • Parents with both Archway and Prep students, please review the pick-up procedure with your Trivium Prep students before the first day of school emphasizing the importance of arriving to the Archway Pick-up/Drop-off Zone promptly after school to be ready to load into your vehicle.


Archway students may not be dropped off/picked up in the Trivium Prep (6th-12 grade) traffic flow.

  2. The Raptor system will send a reminder email 60 days prior to your application expiration date and again five days before expiration.
  3. If you obtained a Fingerprint Clearance card this year as part of your volunteer approval, Great Hearts still requires you to complete a new Raptor application annually based on your application expiration date. If necessary, your Fingerprint Clearance card information may be used to support approval of future applications through the card’s expiration date.
