A Letter From Principal Mills........
Dear Bridgeport Families,
Less than one week until summer! It has been a great year with our bulldogs! Thank you to all of the fifth grade families that came to last night’s program. What a lovely evening! I am thrilled at the academic and social emotional progress our students have made this year! Math and reading scores have shown huge growth thanks to all the extra effort of our students, families and teachers. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There’s nothing more important than daily reading this summer. At least 20 minutes of reading goes a long, long way! Make a plan to do this with your student everyday this summer.
There are a few staff changes coming for the next year that I would like to share with you, if you haven’t already heard through the grapevine. Bethany George, PE teacher, is expecting another daughter and will not be returning next year. Maria Reed will be teaching PE in the gym and Brenda Alarcon will be teaching PLUSS (PE Learning Using Small Spaces!) Jessie Jansen, school counselor and psychologist, has taken a psychologist position in the Newberg School District. Her position will be filled by Alex Horwitz, an experienced school counselor moving to the area from Southern Oregon. Additionally, Natalia Petrevics will be moving to Charles F. Tigard School next year and we will welcome Claudia Palacios, currently student teaching here at Bridgeport, into that Learning Specialist position. We will also say goodbye to some of our TWI teachers next year. Naivit Velazquez, Gabby Hernandez and Juan Lopez will not be returning. Violeta Rook has accepted a position much closer to home in Silverton, Jorge Porrata will be moving to Lake Oswego Language Academy, and Mariana Peña-Alfaro will be teaching fourth grade in Oregon City. We will welcome back Nora Wahlund to second grade TWI and are thrilled to announce that Evelin Gutierrez, currently teaching second grade TWI, will be moving to kindergarten TWI. We have also hired an experienced TWI teacher Sandra Miller to teach fourth grade TWI and another experienced TWI teacher from Metzger, Rosa Haro, to teach fifth grade TWI. Additionally we are excited to welcome Jackie Arroyo and Laura Valdovinos to TWI positions as well. Finally, as you know, Associate Principal Bobbie Brown has accepted the principal position at Tualatin Elementary. We are in the process of looking for someone to fill that position and will make an announcement when that process is finished.
I am already looking forward to another excellent year at Bridgeport next year. Enjoy some rest, relaxation, and reading this summer!
Sincerely,
Jordan Mills
Principal

Estimadas familias de Bridgeport,
¡Falta menos de una semana para el verano! ¡Ha sido un gran año con nuestros bulldogs! Gracias a todas las familias de quinto grado que vinieron al programa de anoche. ¡Que noche tan encantadora! ¡Estoy encantada con el progreso académico y social emocional que nuestros estudiantes han hecho este año! Los resultados en matemáticas y lectura han mostrado un gran crecimiento gracias a todo el esfuerzo extra de nuestros estudiantes, familias y maestros. Lo he dicho antes y lo diré de nuevo: No hay nada más importante que la lectura diaria este verano. Al menos 20 minutos de lectura dan para mucho. Haga un plan para hacer esto con su estudiante todos los días este verano.
Hay algunos cambios de personal que vienen para el próximo año que me gustaría compartir con ustedes, si usted no ha oído ya a través de la vid. Bethany George, maestra de educación física, está esperando otra hija y no regresará el próximo año. Maria Reed estará enseñando PE en el gimnasio y Brenda Alarcon estará enseñando PLUSS (PE Learning Using Small Spaces!) Jessie Jansen, consejera escolar y psicóloga, ha tomado una posición de psicóloga en el Distrito Escolar de Newberg. Su puesto será ocupado por Alex Horwitz, un consejero escolar con experiencia que se muda a la zona desde el sur de Oregon. Además, Natalia Petrevics se trasladará a Charles F. Tigard School el próximo año y vamos a dar la bienvenida a Claudia Palacios, actualmente estudiante de enseñanza aquí en Bridgeport, en esa posición Especialista en Aprendizaje. También diremos adiós a algunos de nuestros maestros de TWI el próximo año. Naivit Velázquez, Gabby Hernández y Juan López no volverán. Violeta Rook ha aceptado un puesto mucho más cerca de casa en Silverton, Jorge Porrata se trasladará a Lake Oswego Language Academy, y Mariana Peña-Alfaro enseñará cuarto grado en Oregon City. Daremos la bienvenida de nuevo a Nora Wahlund a segundo grado TWI y estamos encantados de anunciar que Evelin Gutiérrez, que actualmente enseña segundo grado TWI, se trasladará a kindergarten TWI. También hemos contratado a una experimentada maestra de TWI, Sandra Miller, para enseñar cuarto grado TWI y a otra experimentada maestra de TWI de Metzger, Rosa Haro, para enseñar quinto grado TWI. Además, estamos muy contentos de dar la bienvenida a Jackie Arroyo y Laura Valdovinos a las posiciones de TWI también. Finalmente, como ustedes saben, la Directora Asociada Bobbie Brown ha aceptado la posición de directora en Tualatin Elementary. Estamos en el proceso de buscar a alguien para llenar esa posición y haremos un anuncio cuando ese proceso haya terminado.
Ya estoy esperando otro año excelente en Bridgeport el próximo año. Disfruten del descanso, la relajación y la lectura este verano.
Atentamente,
Jordan Mills
Director

Last Chance For Lost and Found
Última oportunidad para ver en los objetos perdidos
Please use these last days of school to look for any lost and found items. All of these things will be donated to the Caring Closet at the end of the month.
Por favor usen estos últimos días de escuela para buscar cualquier artículo perdido y encontrado. Todas estas cosas serán donadas al Caring Closet al final del mes.
Summer Program Information/Información sobre el programa de verano
As we move into the late Spring, finalized summer school budget information from the state has been slow in coming and it has been a waiting game as the ways and means committee contemplated providing dollars to districts for summer school programming. At this late stage in the Spring, we have come to understand that there will not be summer school dollars available to districts this year from the state.
Based on this information, we have now solidified what summer programming TTSD will be able to provide using limited federal funding and Measure 98 dollars for secondary programming. See the Q&A below for more detailed information.
Q: Will TTSD be able to offer summer school program?
A: Yes. On a limited and very targeted basis.
Q: Will programming look the same as it has the last two years with a K-8 Enrichment offering?
A: No. There will not be a K-8 Enrichment summer school this year. This year, funding for summer school has not been released and therefore, the summer school offerings will be targeted using federal dollars and Measure 98 funds that are specifically earmarked to support extended learning.
Q: With the federal and M98 funds available, what summer school programming will be offered?
A: We were able to pull together funds from these buckets to provide incoming Kindergarten support, middle school transition support for incoming 6th graders, high school credit recovery and on-track support programming and an Early School Years experience supporting students who have IEPs.

Considering Being a Volunteer or Chaperone at Bridgeport? There's a process....
¿Está pensando en ser voluntario o chaperón en Bridgeport? Hay un proceso...
If you are considering volunteering in a classroom or for an activity/field trip for NEXT school year, PLEASE consider getting your background check done now. It's so sad when parents are chosen and we in the office have to notify them that they are not eligible to participate yet.
Go to Volunteering with TTSD and start the process. This has to be done online. Your background check is valid for 3 years and can follow your student to their next TTSD school.
If you need help, please call our office.
Dearest Dog Owners...
Dogs not allowed at student pick-up: / Los perros no están permitidos en el area de recoger a los niños
We love our four-legged friends, but please do not bring them on school grounds while students are present as stated in school board policy KGB. The excitement of dismissal can make even the friendliest of dogs nervous and more likely to snap.
********************************************
Amamos a nuestros amigos de cuatro patas, pero por favor no los traiga a la escuela mientras los estudiantes están presentes como se indica en la política KGB de la junta escolar. La gran actividad de la hora de salida puede poner nervioso incluso al más amigable de los perros y hacerlo más propenso a reaccionar.
