Message from Mr. Kingery
Dear Art Rutkin Elementary Families,
Thank you to all our families who helped raise over $7,000 for our first ever Fun Run. We all had a great time running and cheering on all the Art Rutkin Rams! Our first Walk & Roll to School event was on Oct. 4th. We had 44% of our students walking, biking and scooting their way to school on Wednesday. We want to thank Aimee Biggs, our Student Support Specialist, our partners through the City of Tigard and PSO members who helped this be a successful event. We are so grateful to have a wonderful PSO supporting school events.
Please mark your calendars for these important upcoming dates.
October 11th - Teacher Planning Day
October 13th - Picture Day
October 26-27 - Family Partnership Days (formerly known as conferences)
Remember to sign up for an appointment with your student’s teacher during our Family Partnership Days. These are important times to share information, ask questions and get current school progress updates.
We are getting to know our community. Thank you to everyone who completed the ART RUTKIN CULTURE survey. This is helpful with immediate and long-term planning for seasonal activities and events. We will be sharing out information starting next week regarding the results. Please consider coming to the PSO meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 10th at 6:00 PM in our school library.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mr. Kingery
