A Message from Principal Woofter
Happy last week of January!
We have had such a busy month, but even more coming in February! Tomorrow, we will have our Kids Heart Challenge Kickoff! In partnership with the American Heart Association, students and families will have the opportunity to learn how to have happy and health hears and brains, while raising donations to help others with special hearts. Students that complete Finn's Mission be will entered into a weekly drawing for a Bunny Warmie. If Archer Glen reaches our participation goal of 100 students, I will be PIE'd at the closing assembly! Since the information was sent out, we have had quite a few students participate already so I am getting nervous :)
In addition to all the activities coming up in February, we are registering for incoming PreK and Kinder students. If you have any questions or need any support in completing those registrations, please give our front office staff a call and they are happy to help.
We are expecting some colder, less sunny days coming up next week. Students will definitely want to have a jacket, gloves, hats, etc. for our outdoor recess times. If your child is missing a jacket, please feel free to stop by the lost and found. We have several jackets and hoodies that are missing their owners!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Kindly,
Sarah

Sound of Music Auditions for 4th-8th Graders
Free Vision Screening for Students on Monday, 2/3
We are offering a free vision screening for all students at Archer Glen on Monday, February 3rd. This screening will be conducted by the Lions Club with the assistance of parent volunteers, using SPOT screening devices. The screening is painless and performed from a distance, without touching your child’s eyes or face.
Screening results will be available in about a week. Most children pass the exam. Due to the volume of paperwork, we will only send home "did not pass" results. These will be sent home via backpack mail.
Opt-Out Option - If you do not want your child to participate in the vision screening, please contact your school office to opt-out.
If you have any questions about the vision screening, please contact Health Services at 503-825-5093.
Financial assistance - If your child needs an eye exam or glasses, financial assistance may be available.
