Wildcat Families,

We’re starting to kick into high gear here at CFT as teachers are now providing instruction to help students meet our high expectations for both positive behavior and academic learning. I’ve visited many classrooms this week and have seen great student discussions specifically related to math, where students share how they’ve solved a problem and classmates then share their agreement or disagreement to modify the response. It’s exciting to see such active thinkers throughout our school!

With September being Attendance Awareness Month, I’d like to share that our student attendance to date this year is 95.96%, meaning that almost 96% of our students are at school everyday. That is a great number and one that we should all be proud of. Thanks for making coming to school a priority! Kicking off in a few weeks, we’ll celebrate with the Golden Clock award to the class with the highest attendance during September. It’s a really close race so far with our 2nd grade classes in the lead. There’s still plenty of time to get those numbers up close to 100% in the next couple weeks.

On Thursday morning, 9/26, I’ll be hosting Coffee with the Principal from 9:00-10:30 here in our library. Coffee with the Principal provides an opportunity for me to get to know you a little bit better, for us to get your input on school-related situations and for you to ask questions or share about your experience as a parent. At this meeting, I’ll be asking for your input about our CFT School-Family-Student Compact, which needs to be updated to capture your voice and experience. In addition, we’ll save time for questions. I hope you can make plans to join me.

Logistically, there are a couple of items that we still need your help and support with. Morning arrival and parent drop off continues to be heavily congested. We’ve noticed that some families have started to pull into our bus lane to drop off students in the morning to avoid the backup in our parent drop-off area. Unfortunately, our bus lanes need to remain clear for both buses and emergency vehicles throughout the day. Although it may take slightly longer, we need all parent drop off traffic to pull through our northeast parking lot, dropping students off on the sidewalk, then continuing to move forward. Families who need to stop for extended periods need to park at the Broadway Rose Theater and walk over to the front entry with students. To keep traffic moving, the parent drop off area is provided for a quick student exit to the sidewalk, where adults will greet students at the door. We appreciate your cooperation with this.

Enjoy your weekend!

Sincerely,

Tim, Principal

Familias Wildcat,

Estamos empezando el año aquí en CFT a medida que los maestros brindan instrucción para ayudar a los estudiantes a cumplir con nuestras altas expectativas tanto de comportamiento positivo como de aprendizaje académico. Visité muchas aulas esta semana y vi excelentes debates estudiantiles relacionados específicamente con las matemáticas, donde los estudiantes comparten cómo resolvieron un problema y los compañeros luego comparten su acuerdo o desacuerdo para modificar la respuesta. ¡Es emocionante ver pensadores tan activos en toda nuestra escuela!

Dado que septiembre es el Mes de Concientización sobre la Asistencia, me gustaría compartir que nuestra asistencia estudiantil hasta la fecha este año es del 95.96%, lo que significa que casi el 96% de nuestros estudiantes están en la escuela todos los días. Se trata de una gran cifra de la que todos deberíamos estar orgullosos. ¡Gracias por hacer de venir a la escuela una prioridad! Comenzando en unas semanas, celebraremos con el premio Golden Clock (reloj dorado) a la clase con mayor asistencia durante septiembre. Es una carrera muy reñida hasta ahora con nuestras clases de segundo grado a la cabeza. Todavía hay mucho tiempo para que esas cifras se acerquen al 100% en las próximas dos semanas.

El jueves 26 de septiembre por la mañana, organizaré un café con el director de 9:00 a 10:30am aquí en nuestra biblioteca. El café con el director me brinda la oportunidad de conocerlo un poco mejor, de recibir su opinión sobre situaciones relacionadas con la escuela y de hacer preguntas o compartir sobre su experiencia como padre. En esta reunión, le pediré su opinión sobre nuestro Pacto Escuela-Familia-Estudiante de CFT, que debe actualizarse para captar su voz y experiencia. Además, ahorraremos tiempo para preguntas. Espero que puedas hacer planes para unirte a mí.

Logísticamente, hay un par de elementos en los que todavía necesitamos su ayuda y apoyo. La llegada por la mañana y la salida de los padres siguen estando muy congestionadas. Hemos notado que algunas familias han comenzado a ingresar a nuestro carril de autobús para dejar a los estudiantes en la mañana para evitar el atasco en nuestra área de entrega de padres. Desafortunadamente, nuestros carriles para autobuses deben permanecer despejados tanto para los autobuses como para los vehículos de emergencia durante todo el día. Aunque puede tomar un poco más de tiempo, necesitamos que todo el tráfico de padres que deja a los estudiantes pasen por nuestro estacionamiento noreste, deje a los estudiantes en la acera y luego continúe avanzando. Las familias que necesiten detenerse por períodos prolongados deben estacionarse en el Teatro Broadway Rose y caminar hasta la entrada principal con los estudiantes. Para mantener el tráfico en movimiento, el área para dejar a los padres se proporciona para una salida rápida de los estudiantes a la acera, donde los adultos recibirán a los estudiantes en la puerta. Agradecemos su cooperación con esto.

¡Disfruta tu fin de semana!

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!
