We are in the final fourth of the school year. This seems crazy but time flies when you are learning lots.

• We are learning important things.
• Teachers will send home papers about how your child is doing.
• Help your child come to school every day and do their work.

Thank you for helping your child. Please ask us if you have questions.

In partnership,

Oregon state law requires all students 7 and younger to have documentation of vision screening within the first 120 days of school. HSD will provide that screening for all kinders; if you have had your child screened previously, check with the office for a certification form.

Our office will be closed for summer break beginning June 24. In order for us to plan for the number of students who will make up our classes, we need your registration as soon as possible and hopefully by June 10. The office will reopen mid- August.

If you know of other families with children of kindergarten age who need to register, please encourage them to call or come into our school.

We kindly request that parents do not send treats or snacks to school for birthday celebrations. This promotes inclusivity, healthier choices, and focused learning. Some students have dietary restrictions or allergies that prevent them from enjoying certain treats. By not having treats, we can ensure that valuable class time is not disrupted and that our students can fully engage in their lessons.

Our district now has the ability to make donations and payments electronically.

Please be courteous and not wear or send your students wearing colognes, perfumes or other scents. Colognes/Perfumes/scents, can cause sniffling, dizziness, headaches, nausea and breathing problems for many students/staff members.. Many staff and students have health conditions (asthma, migraines ) that can be triggered by fragrances. NOT using fragrances at Ladd creates a healthier environment for everyone. Thank you!
