Dental Visit
All Smiles Community Oral Health will be providing free dental screenings, sealants, and fluoride at our school during the week of April 15th. Healthy teeth are important to your child’s overall health. A dental screening is a quick look inside your child’s mouth to check the overall health of their teeth. Dental sealants are protective coatings put on the back teeth to prevent cavities and fluoride is a vitamin that is brushed on the teeth to make teeth stronger and prevent cavities.

State Assessments 3rd-5th
Each year our third, fourth, and fifth-grade students take the Oregon state assessments. Students are tested in the areas of ELA, Math, and 5th graders also take the Science assessment. These tests will take place in the Spring and are completed during the school day. Students will take practice tests during class time to prepare them for the assessment. Families are encouraged to explore the tests as well. Families can access the sample tests here.
There is also an option to opt your child out of the ELA and Math tests. If this is something you are interested in doing, please contact our head secretary Crystal Robles and complete the attached document.
If you would like to opt-out of the Science test please send Crystal an email. Any other questions about the assessment, feel free to contact your child's teacher or Mr. Womack.
