Welcome Families of 2nd Graders!

Welcome to a brand new year!!!! So glad to have your child on my team!!!
  I am Paula Pedrick, a twenty-two year veteran teacher (ten years here at Arnold Elementary). I am looking forward to teaching your child and working with you to get the best education for your child! We are a team!

   You will also find that we are a team at Arnold! We all work together from Kindergarten all the way through 5th grade! We work closely with the specialist teachers (Music, Library, PE, Art) to support the curriculum! With the new Common Core Curriculum, you will be hearing words like "building on" and developing a "deeper knowledge base" throughout the grades.  I, personally, am looking forward to these new standards. We are working with all levels of children to grow!!

At Arnold, we like to think of our school as The One. The school everyone will want to send their children for the best education out there! Mr. Chai, our principal, says it this way, "WE ARE THE ONE!" Go Arnold Mustangs!
