The Fowler Weekly

Dear Fowler Families,

We hope you all enjoy some bonus time with your family or friends this Memorial Day Weekend. Many soldiers sacrificed their lives for our country and we sometimes forget the reason for the holiday weekend. Even though we are all celebrating with our families, let's all take a moment to reflect on all of those who sacrificed their lives.

We also want to take a moment to make sure we are clear about year end expectations for 8th grade students. Going to Oaks Park and participating in the myriad of our final week’s activities are a privilege. 8th graders may lose the ability to attend, or the option to join, these activities for reasons including but not limited to: bringing, using, or sharing any illegal substance or material at school, acts of defiance that result in suspension, fighting, chronic absenteeism, or intentional tardiness.

Please know we will share these expectations with students this week, as well.

ASA and Homework help are over! The only reason students might be staying after school now is to participate in Affinity Groups, Advanced Drama Rehearsals or Talent Show rehearsals.

Several REAP students traveled with Mr. Devonte and Ms. Raquel to KOIN 6 on their day off Wednesday!

Not only did they get on television live that day. (Click on live to watch the video). There was also a segment about them on AM Extra on Thursday. (Click on AM Extra to view the segment.) Thank you KOIN 6 for being so welcoming!

Fowler Middle School has, once again, been recognized as a No Place for Hate School! This Affinity Group has been meeting on Friday morning since Winter Break. Way to go, Falcons!

CALENDAR NOTES:

• The last day of school this year is Friday, June 14, with dismissal at 12:05pm. Grab & go lunch will be available.

• The 2024-2025 School Year Calendar is now available on the TTSD website. However, please keep in mind: This calendar is subject to change based on the outcome of the current labor negotiations. Adjustments may be made to the 2nd half of the school year.

Don’t forget to make a yearbook purchase! Yearbooks are sold for $30 on a prepay, first come/first serve basis and they are simple to purchase.

• Yearbooks will be handed out the last day of school.

• You may send a check or cash with your student to turn in to the Main Office or you can click here and purchase the yearbook online.

PLEASE follow these instructions to be sure your student gets their yearbook:

• When paying online you will need your student’s ID number and their legal last name as it appears on their school records (upper and lowercase sensitive).

• If you have problems logging in please email smilettivega@ttsd.k12.or.us to have your password reset. PLEASE DO NOT set up a guest account.

For 6th and 7th grade families: Looking to save time and money? We have the answer for you! Everything on the school supply list will be delivered to the school for you to pick up at our Welcome Back event on Wednesday, August 28. Check out the prices-they are impressive!

We look forward to celebrating our 8th graders moving on to High School. We will host this Celebration at Tigard High School from 6-7pm on Wednesday, June 12. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend this Celebration, we do ask that you limit attendees to immediate family members.

We would love to get a picture of your student as a younger version of themselves.

(A baby picture, or anything before 8th grade, we’re not picky!) We have many already submitted, but we would really like to honor all of our students in this way. It is definitely NOT too late!

• There will be a slideshow for the 8th Grade Celebration, and we would like to be able to include both a current photo and a young photo of each student.

• If you would like to submit a current picture for us to use other than their school photo, because so many of them have changed significantly since the beginning of the year, you are welcome to do so. We would prefer not to use “selfies” for the slideshow.

• Please send pictures to fowleroffice@ttsd.k12.or.us along with your students full name and/or ID number.

Important Dates:

June 4 8th Graders visit Tigard High School

• Students need to be on time this day! The buses will be leaving Fowler right after attendance is taken.

Mr. Kobor is taking students on his last educational trip to Scotland, England, and Paris in Summer 2026, and your student is invited! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you will not want to miss. We will start in Edinburgh, where we will experience kilts, bagpipes, and haggis as we absorb proud Scottish history. Then it's on to England, where we will explore Warwick Castle, Shakespeare's birthplace Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford University, Windsor Castle, and a theatre performance in the iconic city of London. Lastly, we will experience the history and culture of Paris - a magical city!
