Answering your Archer Elementary questions The school will close and reopen as a Montessori magnet. But what is the timeline? What will happen to the Archer teachers and students? Author: Jessica Winters Updated: 6:19 PM EST March 8, 2021 GREENSBORO, N.C. — Last week, parents contacted WFMY News 2 about the imminent closure of Archer Elementary School in Greensboro. Several parents were upset that it will no longer be a neighborhood school. Instead it will be turned into a Montessori magnet, replacing tornado-damaged Erwin Montessori. So, Archer will no longer exist. A rally was supposed to be held in front of the school on Monday night but it got cancelled. T-shirts that read 'Archer Strong' were made.
