Kindergarten Jumpstart was a BIG success!
We are so excited that so many of our incoming Otters were able to join us for Kindergarten Jumpstart! Our newest students spent time playing, learning, and getting ready for a fantastic start to kindergarten.
They practiced school routines and expectations, explored their new school, made new friends, and even got to ride the school bus—a definite highlight for many!
We are so proud of our incoming kindergarteners and can’t wait to officially welcome them to Artondale Elementary! We’re off to a great start!

On Monday, our students enjoyed an incredible Career Day thanks to the support of our amazing volunteers.

We are so grateful to the volunteers who took time to:
Visit our classrooms
Share their careers in a kid-friendly way
Answer students’ thoughtful questions

Because of you, our students were able to explore new interests, learn about many different careers, and dream big about their futures.

🎶✨ Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders truly shined at our Instrument Show! ✨🎶
Our talented 3rd graders showcased their recorder skills, our 4th graders impressed us with their ukulele performances, and our creative 5th graders composed and performed original songs using xylophones.
It was wonderful to see our students' hard work, musical growth, and confidence on display. Thank you to our families and community members who joined us to celebrate their accomplishments, and a special thank you to our music teacher, Mrs. Duncan, for her dedication and hard work in helping our students develop their musical talents and creating such a memorable experience for everyone.
Great job, Otters! We are so proud of you! 🎵🦦💙

The 43rd Annual Otter Fun Run Was a Huge Success!
What an incredible community event! We were thrilled to have 292 runners participate in this year's Otter Fun Run, including students, families, staff, and community members. It was wonderful to see so many people come together for a fun evening of fitness, school spirit, and community connection.
On Tuesday, we recognized the top five finishers in each school age group and celebrated the hard work and determination of all our runners.
Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines, and helped make this annual tradition such a memorable success. We are grateful for our amazing Artondale community and look forward to running with you again next year!
