Oregon State Testing Continues for 3rd-5th Grades
Our 3rd-5th graders will continue their annual Oregon Statewide Assessment System tests in reading and math this week (5th grade also has science). It is very important our students come to school well rested and eat a good breakfast each morning in order to focus and do well on these assessments. These are critical measurements to see how much our students have learned and achieved academically this year. We appreciate everyone’s help ensuring our students do their best on these assessments!
Parent and Family Engagement Survey
We appreciate your feedback in our school district’s annual parent and family engagement survey. Here are the links for this year’s surveys:

The carnival will be Saturday, June 1st from 11:00am-2:00pm. The number of games/activities we have will depend on the number of volunteers who sign up. It might seem early to sign up to volunteer, but it will really help with planning if we know how many volunteers to expect. Every volunteer gets a free activity bracelet per shift worked.
