Hello Roadrunner Families,
On April 22nd, we will be hosting the 2022 Roadrunner Fun Run! We will be hosting this event in partnership with Boosterthon. Students and staff will participate as every individual student will be empowered to help raise funds for their school, character build, win prizes, run on the BIG RACE DAY, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
The goal of this event is to help fundraise for a new A/V system at Arbor View. This will help with future school events in the gymnasium and improve the experience for our children, staff, parents, and more for years to come. We are setting the goal of raising $15,000 and we need your help!
To start, we are currently seeking corporate sponsors to help with our initial SPIRIT WEAR costs. Every Arbor View student will receive a special RoadRunner Fun Run t-shirt that will have our sponsors listed on the back. This is a great opportunity for local businesses and families to support their community while their community supports back. Please see attached sponsorship form. SPIRIT WEAR SPONSORSHIPS ARE DUE MONDAY, MARCH 21ST!
We are also seeking volunteers to help with preparation and the day of the event. Being that we are partnering with Boosterthon, the lift should be lighter, but help is always appreciated! You can sign up here:
https://www.signupgenius.com/

The Arbor View PTC is excited to introduce fundraising with SCRIP. Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that allows Arbor View families to raise money for our school. Scrip is just another way to pay for your everyday purchases using gift cards instead of cash, checks, or credit cards.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You purchase gift cards from www.ShopwithScrip.com (or download the Raise Right app and make purchases through the app.) The gift cards are purchased by you at face value. Once you purchase a gift card, using the code below, Arbor View School gets an amount equal to a percentage of your gift card, and you retain the full value of the gift card you just purchased! It’s really that simple!
EXAMPLES: Do you anticipate spending $100 at the Gap? If you buy a $100 gift card through Scrip, Arbor View PTC gets 14% of that amount, or $14, and you get a $100 Gap gift card! Or do you plan on buying a $50 Chipotle gift card as a birthday present for your nephew? Do it through Scrip: AVPTC gets 10%, or $5, and you get a $50 gift card so your nephew can eat burritos! Percentages vary by store/restaurant/retailer.
WHAT STORES ARE AVAILABLE?
Gift cards are available from more than 750 of the country’s biggest retailers, including grocery and department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, home improvement and more. Just by using gift cards to pay for your normal weekly purchases you can easily raise $500 or more per year. It’s time to start shopping with a purpose, and put your dollars to work for the kids and programs at Arbor View School.
HOW DO I ORDER GIFT CARDS?
To order, go to www.ShopwithScrip.com or download the Raise Right app. The unique purchase code for Arbor View is: A2978F8F6478L
Please click on document below for agenda.

Action required by May 25 for students planning to learn remotely next year - 2021-2022.
Community Consolidated School District 89 families can plan for a return to a traditional schedule with five full days of in-person learning during the 2021-22 school year. Remote learning will only be available next school year to students who have certification from their physician that they require a medical exemption.
You can view a short video of CCSD 89 Superintendent Dr. Emily Tammaru discussing the plans for the 2021-22 school year here:
You can view the slides from the May 17 Board of Education presentation here:
The first day of the 2021-22 school year for students is August 18. View the 2021-22 calendar:
Remote learning in 2021-22 school year
Next year, remote learning will only be available to students who require a medical exemption because they or a household member are at increased risk of severe illness due to COVID-19.
Families must request the CCSD 89 medical exemption form from their school principal or nurse by Tuesday, May 25. The form requires a physician to certify the student’s medical need. The completed form must be returned to the district office (22W600 Butterfield Road, Glen Ellyn) by Friday, June 25.
Remote students will not be part of the same classes as in-person students. The district will be partnering with education organizations that specialize in online learning. The district will be holding a Zoom question-and-answer session with the families of students who need remote learning prior to the June 25 deadline.
Please find them in the About PTC section.
The Annual Legacy Brick Fundraiser is open for the next week! Leave a beautiful reminder at Arbor View and help raise money for additional playground upgrades.

Also don't forget our pizza night the last Thursday of the month in January at Stella's inside Fox Bowl. Their hours have changed during the shut down. They are open for carry out from 4 to 9 PM.
One key factor in the success of our school is the fantastic amount of parent and family involvement throughout the year. PTC has prepared and published a Community Involvement and Volunteer Opportunities Brochure. In this brochure, you will find a brief overview of many of the ways you can get involved, from small one-time tasks to long-term committee positions which aligns with the information on the Volunteer page of this website. Most of the activities and positions listed require multiple volunteers to ensure success, and we never turn down a helping hand!
