Vaccines play a crucial role in protecting our students from serious illnesses and help keep our community safe. Parents/ Guardians of students who are due to receive vaccines should receive a letter in the mail. Please check if your child’s vaccinations are current, including their recommended flu shot, and contact your medical provider or any of the resources listed below.

Safety Reminder: The days are getting shorter and it's staying dark longer. Please drive carefully in school zones, especially when students are present. Make sure traveling students are visible and walking on the sidewalk wherever possible.

Safety patrol will temporarily be taking a pause. We are looking for adult volunteers to help supervise morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. We will focus on 17th and Shaver & 18th & Shaver for patrol until further notice. Please reach out to Mr. Gardiner or the PTA if you would like to volunteer! It's a great way to meet members of the community!

Parents of 3rd Grade Boys-

We are seeking to start a Sabin Stars basketball team for 3rd grade boys through Portland Parks and Recreation Golden Ball league and wanted to send out a notice for anyone interested. All the information on Golden Ball can be found here: https://www.portland.gov/parks/sports/goldenball

Basics of the league/season:

Seven games played on Saturdays, January 18 through March 1, 2025. The league is divided into two halves, the first 3 weeks, followed by a realignment if necessary, and no break between halves. Games are played at various Portland Public Schools and Parks Community Centers. Game sites may vary from the first half to the second half.

I have submitted the paperwork to register the team with Portland Parks and Recreation but there is no guarantee of us getting a team in Goldenball if there are too many teams. We should be notified by the PP&R around the end of November. If we are lucky we will be able to practice at Sabin.

Next steps and Cost:

We already have 5 students interested in playing and at least two other parents interested in helping coach. We are seeking a total of 10 players on a first-come, first serve basis. If we have more than 10 total we may want to start a second team so that kids can all get playing time.

I was a coach of my daughter’s team at Sabin for a few years and found the league and overall experience to be great for the kids and enjoyable as a parent.

There is a cost of $450/team for the season along with cost of basic jerseys but don’t want cost to be an impediment to joining the team for any kid. Please reach out if you have any questions about the fees or waiving the cost.
