Hello Tamarack Families,

I hope this finds you smiling. Welcome to our new families as well, we have several new students joining us since the last newsletter, welcome!

It is going to be a beautiful weekend (crossing my fingers that stays true!), bringing lots of sunshine! I know I'm ready for a change in weather and hope your family is able to get out and enjoy it. Below you will find information about a Hillsboro Hops Reading Program for Spring Break. Also your child may ask to work on a family recipe with you. We will be sharing recipes from each family on April 18th, see below for more details. We will also send home a flier.

April 18th @ 5:30pm-7pm Additionally, please consider offering the opportunity to learn from your family: We invite you to come celebrate the heritage, culture and traditions of our Tamarack Community through an open house of sharing! If you can partner with us and share your heritage by hosting a table please contact Nidhi Choudhary choudhan@hsd.k12.or.us

* ¡Te invitamos a venir a celebrar la herencia, la cultura y las tradiciones de nuestra comunidad de Tamarack a través de una jornada de puertas abiertas para compartir! Si puede asociarse con nosotros y compartir su herencia organizando una mesa, comuníquese con Nidhi Choudhary choudhan@hsd.k12.or.us

Also, another plea to try and have your student(s) in their classroom by 8am when we take attendance. We average about 40 students late/day and those first few minutes of greeting each other and setting up the day are important. We also have tight schedules around supervision, and staff start moving to their next scheduled assignment at 8am. I truly appreciate your help 🙂

Hope you have an amazing Spring Break (no school March 25th-29th)!

Check your child's backpack for the Hillsboro Hops Home Runs for Reading Program! Your child will be bringing home a log next week to track the number of hours read (or co read w/ support) for a chance to win prizes! Including a classroom visit from Barley and a free ticket to a 2024 Hillsboro Hop Baseball Game! This is a daily minute count and a great time to get your library card handy and check out some books! I look forward to celebrating the number of minutes Tamarack reads as a whole when we return from break. I will be announcing the challenge at our March assembly and sending logs home Thursday the 21st/ Friday the 22nd. Thank you for partnering with us over break to support literacy skills!

Still optimistic!😊 but I do not have any updates for preschool yet...

Our preschools are grant funded and are coordinated by our Early Learning Team at the District Office: https://www.hsd.k12.or.us/Page/148

I should have more information in April and will communicate as soon as I do.

Our Kindergarten Orientation will take place on May 16th at 5:30pm; here are a link to the our slides: Tamarack Kinder Orientation 24-25 Registration is Open! https://www.hsd.k12.or.us/kindergarten

Can’t wait to meet the next team of Otters!
