Student Information

As we eagerly await the start of the 2024-2025 school year, we extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you. There are some important details we would like to share as we get ready for an exciting year ahead!

Enrollment & Registration
If you haven't enrolled your child yet, please take a moment to do so as soon as possible. It's a simple process for both RETURNING and NEW students, and you can easily enroll on our enrollment page here. For returning students, please be aware that failure to enroll may result in withdrawal from school and the loss of their place in a class, and we definitely want to avoid that!

School Hours
For the 2024-2025 academic year, Cleveland City Schools will implement new school hours. Middle and high school students will attend classes from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., while elementary school students will have classes from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Our school doors will open at 7:45 a.m.

Reconnection Days
Cleveland City Schools will have two reconnection days during the first week of school. On Monday, August 5, students with last names beginning A-K will attend a full school day. On Tuesday, August 6, students with last names beginning L-Z will also attend a full day. Then, on Wednesday, August 7th, we expect all students to be present for their classes.

Back to School Night
Mark your calendars! Back to School Night will be held on Thursday, August 1, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Arnold Memorial Elementary! This is a wonderful opportunity for parents and students to visit the school, meet the teachers, and get acquainted with the campus before the academic year begins.

Kindergarten Parent Meeting
Attention kindergarten parents! A special parent meeting will be held on Thursday, August 1, at 6:00 PM in the Arnold Auditorium. This meeting is designed to provide valuable information and insights into the kindergarten program, allowing parents to become familiar with our curriculum and classroom expectations.

School Supply Lists
To help your child prepare for the first day of school, specific school supply lists can be found on our website. These lists will ensure your child is well-prepared and ready to embrace the exciting challenges that await them in the classroom.

Transportation Details
For those who have registered their child for transportation services, you will receive a notification about their bus number, stop, and pick-up time approximately one week before classes commence, provided they are eligible for bus transportation. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our transportation department at 423-472-9576.

PowerSchool
We encourage all our families to use PowerSchool, a powerful tool that allows you to access essential information about your child's schedules, grades, and attendance. Class placements for students at Arnold Memorial Elementary School will be posted on the office doors by July 4.

Additional Information
We are excited to announce that all students will receive breakfast and lunch free of charge, ensuring they have the nourishment they need for a productive day of learning.

Lastly, we want to remind parents that students arriving after 8:30 AM will be considered tardy and must be checked in by our office staff.

We are looking forward to an exceptional school year at Arnold Memorial Elementary School! If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
