Dear Art Rutkin Elementary Families,
I hope this letter finds you all enjoying the remaining days of summer and a break from the recent hot temperatures. We are busy getting ready for our teachers to start next week. Everyone is looking forward to bringing our community together for Back-To-School-Night on Aug. 28th, and a fun first day of school at Art Rutkin Elementary on Sept. 5th for 1st-5th grade. We will welcome our kindergarteners the following week on Sept. 11th. Our first school year is finally here! Please read this newsletter for all the details as we get started.
Here is what to expect in next week’s Art Rutkin Elementary newsletter:

The first PSO meeting will take place on Sept. 12th at 6:00 PM in the school library. We are still in need of a PSO vice president. Please contact our PSO through the following email addresses.

Do you want to be a volunteer or be a field trip chaperone? Have you gone through TTSD's volunteer process? If not, please make sure to do so. Once cleared, you are good for 3 years. If there is even a slight chance your answer is yes, then please complete the steps. It's better to have clearance than not! Here is the link!
*If you have been cleared at your previous school and haven't let me know already, please email me @ artrutkinoffice@ttsd.k12.or.us I'll get you added to our volunteer computer. 🤗
