Located in the central part of the district, Arongen Elementary School is one of four off-campus schools.

As part of a Social Studies unit, third graders build landscapes out of a homemade clay.
Mr. Roberts had the privilege of being the “Secret Reader” before the holiday break to a group of excited first grade students in Mrs. Symonds’s class. All of the students were wonderful listeners and were most excited to share about their upcoming holiday plans and traditions.
