Meet the Teacher Open House - Monday, August 5

We are looking forward to our Meet the Teacher Open House on Monday, August 5. 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 or YELLOW pick-up cards in the classroom of their oldest (or only) Archway student during Meet the Teacher night. 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!

Gatorade Donations Requested

We are seeking donations of Gatorade or other sports drinks to help keep our teachers hydrated during afternoon pickup. If you are able to donate a case of drinks, please bring these to the MPR during Meet the Teacher or deliver them to the front office labeled "Archway Trivium." Thank you for helping to support our staff in this way!

2024-25 Book and Supply Lists

The 2024-25 "Classics to Keep" consumable book List and grade-level supply lists are now available on our website! Use the "Book & Supply Lists" Link under "Academics" on our website or follow the link below to learn more!

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 or YELLOW 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.

Upcoming Road Work on Bullard Ave/Palm Ln.


We were notified this week that the City of Goodyear will begin road work along Bullard Ave and at the intersection of Bullard Ave/Palm Lane (Granada Rd) in the coming weeks/months. This could happen as soon as August 12. The work will involve road restrictions at/as you approach this intersection which may impede access to campus. We will do our best to communicate road restrictions with families as we become aware of them. We ask for your patience as we adapt to the altered traffic patterns. Please reach out to our campus safety coordinator, Mike Johnson, with any questions.

Summer Reading Challenge Logs Now Due!

If your child participated in the Archway summer reading challenge, please bring the completed reading log to Meet the Teacher or on the first day of school. Please make sure your child's first and last name and classroom (once you know) are indicated on the form.


All participants will be rewarded with a popsicle and extra recess during the first quarter. Please reach out to our librarian, Mrs. Tinker, with any questions.

First Day of School - Kindergarten Welcome

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, Wednesday, August 7, during the times noted below. Class sections will be communicated by email on Monday, August 5.


First Day of Kindergarten - Wednesday, August 7
Sections KA, KB & KC - 8:20-8:30 AM
Sections KD & KE - 8:40-8:50 AM

Kindergarten students who are dropped off (without a parent) before 7:50 AM will gather at a designated table in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) with activities and supervision. Once our older students are in class, Kindergarten students will proceed to the playground for a special time of play.


Our Headmaster, Dr. Scott, along with the Kindergarten team and other faculty members will be on hand to greet you and your child on their first day of school. We are looking forward to sharing this memorable time with you and your child. Details regarding parking for this event will be emailed to parents prior to the first day of school.

School Messenger Communication

Great Hearts and Archway Trivium continue to utilize the system School Messenger for emails, robo-calls, and text messaging to inform families of campus related academy emergencies and other communications.

If you would like to opt out of text messages simply reply STOP to the text from 67585. You can also enter the code 67585 with the message STOP to block any text messaging. Please note, if opting out, you will not receive texts regarding emergencies on campus.


Email Communications

If you know of parents who are not receiving these communications, please ask them to check their junk/promotions email folders, and then email bmcdonald@archwaytrivium.org for assistance.
