October Advocacy Newsletter

The October Advocacy Newsletter is now available! Stay informed on important updates, ways to get involved, and how you can support Aristoi and public charter education.

Lunch Visitors Updates! 

We are now allowing lunch visitors only to the K&1 lunch.

If you would like to attend lunch with your Kindergarten or First Grade scholars, please email shopkins@aristoiclassical.org with 24 hours' advance notice. As a note, you may only bring lunch for your own scholars. 

Second through eleventh grade families, it is still our goal to open to lunch visitors for your students as well! We are hopeful that the addition of outdoor seating areas later this year will create more space for us to welcome visitors. Keep an eye on the newsletters for future updates. In the meantime, you are always welcome to drop off lunch for your student or sign them out during their lunch break! 

Thank you for your patience as we adapt these fun traditions to our new space! 

Show Your House Pride, Cypress!

House shirts are now available for purchase! Whether your scholar is in Homer, Austen, Tolkien, or Shakespeare, it's time to represent their house and show their spirit!
