The Owl Newsletter

We would like to remind parents and students that we have a policy on campus that personal electronics be "off and away" during the school day. We have seen an increase in students texting with their smart watches, as of late. Smart watches fall into this category during school hours and need to be turned off and put into backpacks. A first infraction will result in a private reminder between the teacher and the student, a second infraction will result in the device being turned into the office to be picked up at the end of the day, and a third infraction will result in parents picking up the device. Thank you so much for your understanding and continuing efforts to create a positive learning environment.

THIS WEEK IN THE LIBRARY!: This week we learned about Cinco de Mayo and the misconception that it is Mexico’s independence day while trying to learn where to find books about countries, climates, and traditions/celebrations. Love it when our learning is connected to our actions!

FREE BOOK CART: Watch for the free book cart this week. I will have it out in the hallway by the Book Vending Machine during the school day. These books have served a nice long life on our shelves, but are being removed to make room for transferred books from Warren. Many of these books are worn and/or haven’t been circulated in a very long time. Please make sure that you preview the books to make sure the content is appropriate for your family and age of kiddos. When you are done feel free to pass them along and keep the book joy going! Thanks!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR!: Last week for check out will be 5/27 in an effort to get all books returned before the last day of school! It is VERY important that all books get returned this year with the reconfiguration process of Warren and Grant Watts–we need accurate inventories and it will help us get things packed up as books will be moving between all 3 elementary schools in this process! Thank you for your help!

Happy Reading ~ Mrs. Nudo

If your child is going to be absent or you have other attendance changes to communicate, we ask that you please call the office at (971)200-8003 or email the following people to let us know. This ensures that the message is received if one of us is absent.

Also, if you have to change your students' after-school plans, please try to do this one hour before students are released so that we have enough time to communicate with teachers and staff.

We appreciate your support in making sure we know where your students are during the school day. Thank you!
