Good afternoon Templeton Families,
We hope this message finds you safe and well as we’re already into the middle of October! As we start our conference schedule our teachers are looking forward to sitting down with our families to talk about the best way to partner with you to support every student. If you haven’t signed up for a conference yet, please make sure to reach out to your child’s teacher.
With a new month comes new classwide awards that honor our students when they’re doing the right thing! These awards include The Golden Shoe Award (best behaved classroom in the hallway), The Golden Whistle Award (best behaved class at recess), The Golden Lunch Boat Award (best behaved class at lunch) and The Golden Broom Award (cleanest classroom). Finally, we’re also giving The Golden Plunger Award to the grade level with the cleanest neighborhood and the cleanest bathroom. We also have the classrooms with the highest attendance rates and those classrooms with the highest average number of iReady lessons passed in September. The winners are below!
This time of year we like to revisit our student pick-up policy.
We cannot release a student to anyone other than a parent/legal guardian unless we have written or verbal permission by the parent/legal guardian.
Please be prepared to present some form of identification to sign the student out early from school.
If there is a same-day change in transportation for a student, please make sure to notify the office before 1:30 p.m.
With many new families and even some new office staff, we appreciate your patience and help while we ensure that each student gets home safely!
Hello, Templeton community!
We are so excited for the upcoming Fall Festival. Amy Allen and her team have some really fun things in store for our students! See below for more information, and please be on the lookout for a signup genius to volunteer in various ways that night. Lots of support is needed to make it a success.
Mark your calendars for our Scholastic Book Fair. It runs from October 27-November 3. More details can be found at the bottom of this newsletter.
Our next meeting will be held virtually the 3rd Tuesday of this month, October 17 at 7 pm. We hope to see you there!
In partnership with the Oregon Lions and our district nurse, complimentary vision screenings will take place on Wednesday, October 18. This is a non-invasive screening that takes less than 30 seconds. Please contact the Templeton office if you have questions or wish to opt-out your student. General information can be found on the Oregon Lions website.
Volunteers are needed: Please sign up here.
Did you miss Templeton’s Spirit Wear sale? We are re-opening our store for a short time, starting now. Get your orders in by October 22 and receive your spirit wear by mid-November.
