Wildcat Families,

As we wrap up our first full week as an entire school community, I’d just like to share some highlights and updates in regards to what’s been happening these first couple of weeks here at school.

• We welcomed our Kindergarteners this week and they have done amazingly well, learning how to be safe, respectful and responsible. They’ve learned how to be “PAX Quiet” in class, can walk in line down the hallway using their “0-inch voices,” and can do it with “PAX Hands and Feet.” So fun to see their growth in just a few days.

• All of our students are working towards earning their classroom PAXport, demonstrating that they can be safe, respectful and responsible throughout all areas of the school. Students have showed us the Wildcat Way on the bus, in the cafeteria, at recess and are working with teachers to practice safe and respectful behavior throughout the school. This teaching and practice establishes consistency in expectations for all of us Wildcats.

• This week, students in grades 1-5 worked on their baseline reading and math assessments which help inform our planning and support for students. We lead small group instruction that targets specific skill areas based on this information.

• We’re kicking off math instruction using a new curriculum called iReady Classroom Mathematics, which asks students to try and explore math using numerous strategies and ways of thinking that they present and share with each other and the class. We’re excited to build mathematicians working together to learn math in a different way this year!

• Our PSO met this week and has lots of needs for volunteers at our Harvest Festival coming up on Friday, September 27. If you’d like to help, please visit the PSO Volunteer page. A background check is required of all CFT volunteers. Information about background checks and a few other volunteer requirements can be found here.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Sincerely,

Tim, Principal

Familias Wildcat,

Mientras concluimos nuestra primera semana completa como comunidad escolar completa, me gustaría compartir algunos aspectos destacados y actualizaciones con respecto a lo que ha estado sucediendo estas primeras semanas aquí en la escuela.

• Le dimos la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes del kinder esta semana y les ha ido increíblemente bien, aprendiendo a ser seguros, respetuosos y responsables. Han aprendido cómo ser “PAX callado” en clase, pueden caminar en fila por el pasillo usando sus “voces de 0 pulgadas” y pueden hacerlo con “Manos y Pies PAX ”. Es muy divertido ver su crecimiento en tan solo unos días.
• Todos nuestros estudiantes están trabajando para obtener su PAXport en el aula, demostrando que pueden ser seguros, respetuosos y responsables en todas las áreas de la escuela. Los estudiantes nos han mostrado el Wildcat Way en el autobús, en la cafetería, durante el recreo y están trabajando con los maestros para practicar un comportamiento seguro y respetuoso en toda la escuela. Esta enseñanza y práctica establece coherencia en las expectativas de todos nosotros, los Wildcats.
• Esta semana, los estudiantes de 1ro a 5to grado trabajaron en sus evaluaciones de referencia de lectura y matemáticas que ayudan a informar nuestra planificación y apoyo a los estudiantes. Dirigimos instrucción en grupos pequeños que se enfocan en áreas de habilidades específicas basadas en esta información.
• Estamos iniciando la instrucción de matemáticas utilizando un nuevo plan de estudios llamado iReady Classroom Mathematics, que pide a los estudiantes que intenten explorar las matemáticas utilizando numerosas estrategias y formas de pensar que presentan y comparten entre sí y con la clase. ¡Estamos emocionados de formar matemáticos que trabajen juntos para aprender matemáticas de una manera diferente este año!
• Nuestro PSO se reunió esta semana y tiene muchas necesidades de voluntarios para nuestro Festival de la Cosecha que se celebrará el viernes 27 de septiembre. Si desea ayudar, visite la página de Voluntarios de PSO. Se requiere una verificación de antecedentes para todos los voluntarios de CFT. Puede encontrar información sobre verificaciones de antecedentes y algunos otros requisitos para voluntarios aquí.

¡Que tengas un fin de semana fantástico!

Atentamente,

Tim, Director

Your feeder schools are excited to invite you to our Hispanic Heritage Celebration in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15, 2024. The celebration will be held at Fowler Middle School on October 16, 2024, from 5 PM to 8 PM, we're aiming to make this year’s event even more memorable than the last!

Last year’s celebration was filled with incredible dishes shared by our families and generous contributions from local Tigard businesses. It was a true community effort, with collaboration from CFT, MWW, MET, FMS and THS, We're hoping to build on that success this year. We would love to see more families share a dish from their culture, though it’s completely optional.
As we continue to organize this event, we’re welcoming the support of parents and local businesses. Your participation—whether it’s through contributing a dish, donating, or simply attending—will help make this celebration a wonderful reflection of our diverse community.
Thank you in advance for being part of this special event. Your feeder schools can’t wait to celebrate with you all!
