We want to extend our sincere thanks for joining us for Back to School Night. Your presence made the night special and marked the beginning of a wonderful partnership between our school and his family. It was a pleasure to see so many familiar faces and meet new ones. We hope you found the presentations and discussions informative and provided you with valuable insight into what your child's educational journey will look like this year. Your commitment to your child's education is truly inspiring. Please remember that our doors are always open and we encourage open communication throughout the school year. Together we can make this a successful and fulfilling year for your child. Once again, thank you for being a part of our Aumsville Elementary community.

We look forward to a fantastic school year ahead!

It truly takes an “all hands on deck” mentality to run a school effectively. If you are interested in volunteering in your student’s class, chaperoning a field trip, or helping out behind the scenes, please begin the background check process found here or on the Cascade School District website on the “parents and students” page.

The background check process takes two-four weeks, is completely free, and lasts for two years. We recommend completing this early in the school year so as to avoid delay.

You no longer need to provide proof of COVID vaccination in order to volunteer.

Our annual Move-A-Thon has been moved to the Fall, and students will get moving on Friday, September 29th! In fact, don't blink, it'll be here before we know it. It is time to get our students excited and ready to MOVE and earn some money for fun activities. The attached flier has more details about the changes this year.

Last year PTC supported our school in so many outstanding ways:

• AMAZING plethora of prizes for Move-a-thon at ALL earning levels
• Country Kids Relay shirts
• Field trip $ for each student
• Staff Panther Stores
• Student Panther Stores
• Teacher dinner at conferences
• Teacher dinner for Math Night
• PE equipment
• Recess equipment
• 5th grade Promotion refreshments & balloons
• Space themed cookies for OMSI Night
• THOUSANDS of dollars for the Book Vending Machine to support the "We LOVE To Read" program
• 1st week of school staff treats
• Bike Day snacks & water
• Every appreciation day under the sun, including our local police & fire
• Fun & festive signs out front (Welcome Back, Happy Teacher Appreciation Week, etc)
• and . . . . much more!

Below is the schedule to view your students' running time. Any parent is welcome to come watch and cheer, but you will need a background check to help/volunteer for the event.

Arrival and Dismissal procedures are similar to last year.

Arrival

For arrival, please note that the school day begins at 7:50. Additionally, please make sure that if you are dropping off your student from the car, do not drive through the bus lane as buses are dropping off and heading to the secondary campus.

You can drop your student in the first aisle of parking in the 3-5 lot where a crossing guard is present. If you prefer to park and walk your student, please make sure to utilize a crosswalk. Thank you for helping to keep everyone safe.

We encourage families to build independence with their students and have them walk to class on their own. With that said, if you need to walk your student to class please know that after the first week of school, we will need you to sign in as a visitor in either office to receive a name badge.

Dismissal

For dismissal, bus riders will load the bus under the supervision of their classroom teacher, and students who are picked up will wait for their ride in their grade-designated spaces. Please see the dismissal map for exact locations.

Please remember that whoever picks up a student must be listed on the approved pick up list and have their driver's license to confirm correct pick up. If you need to add people to the approved pick up list, please call the corresponding office to the grade of your student.

If there happens to be a change in go home plans, please make sure to call the office by 2:00 so we can distribute the information.

Breakfast and Lunches are Free for all Aumsville Elementary Students. However, if a student brings cold lunch and want only a milk they need to purchase the milk. You can add money to their account. MealTime is also where you can pay your School Supply money.

You can create and use your My MealTime account. This is a fast and secure online service for making credit or debit card deposits and monitoring your student's lunch account.

Go to www.mymealtime.com

Step 1: Register, Click or tap the Register button and follow on screen prompts to create your My Mealtime account.

Step 2: Link Your Student. Click or tap the "Add Student" button, then find your student's school. Link them to your profile by using their student ID number that was provided by your student's school.

Step 3: Make a Deposit

Download the mobile app: Using your device's web browser and go to mymealtime.com. If you are on your mobile device, from the My MealTime sign-in screen, choose the appropriate button to download the app.

Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn life around. If you would like to publically compliment someone at Aumsville Elementary or a community partner at an Aumsville Elementary event, you may do so here.

The compliment will show up in the next Panther Periodical!
