Bus Loading Zone in front of the K-2 building needs to be kept clear
Parents in the bus loading area are holding up drivers, it's making busses late to the high school and students are missing breakfast and late for classes. It's been getting worse since winter break.
We really need parents to not be loading/unloading in front of the K-2 building. If they could be limited to the front of the 3-5 building that would help a ton.
Thank you Panther Families for helping us keep things running smoothly.
Valentine's Luncheon
Some things to keep in mind for the luncheon.
- You can still come even if you didn't send in an RSVP. $5/lunch
- Please be aware that we ordered food based on our best estimate with the pre-orders we received. We should have plenty to eat but we appreciate your understanding if we run out. Priority will be to our students and those that have pre ordered.
- Please come in a few minutes prior to your child's start time to allow enough time to check in and pay.
The Kids and staff are all excited and look forward to having you join us!
Mark your Calendar for Family Specials Week!

Mr. Steenslid, Mrs. Wilkins, Maestro, Mrs. Fiskum, and Mrs. Peterson will be opening up their Specials classes to family members 18 and older the week of February 26th-March 1st. Come join us for your students’ scheduled 30 minute PE, Library, or Music class! Check in at the office of the Special you are attending and wait outside the gym, library, or music room.

Salem Kids Relay Shirt Sponsors
Hello Panther Families
I know it may still seem far away but it's that time of year when Mr. Steenslid starts preparing for this year's Salem Kid Relays that will be happening in May. What we are looking for are any families that own a business or work for a business that would like to be a sponsor of the relay team to help pay for this year's relay shirts. PTC paid for the shirts last year and are happy to do it again but we thought that by finding sponsors would help with the cost since we are anticipating more runners and coaches this year and prices have gone up as well.
We are looking for sponsors. We are asking for sponsors to donate $200. With your donation, you will have your company logo put on the back of the relay shirts and you will also receive a relay shirt for yourself.
If you are interested in being a sponsor, please feel free to email
Mr. Steenslid- msteenslid@cascade.k12.or.us

Read Every Day February Challenge “Leer Todos los Días” el desafío de febrero
In February, grade alike classes will be competing to see who can read the most. The rules will remain the same for Read Every Day. You must read at least 15 minutes on 5 different days to count towards the goal. The class from each grade level who has the most students turn in a Read Every Day Reading Log, with at least 15 minutes of reading, on 5 different days will be selected to have a doughnut party. To increase the likelihood of winning, read every day, for 5 days in a row, for at least 15 minutes, and immediately turn in your reading log after finishing. Get a new log and new books and start the process again for the whole month.
Good Luck to everyone and may the most dedicated readers win!
En febrero, las clases de los mismos grados competirán para ver quién puede leer más. Las reglas seguirán siendo las mismas de “Leer Todos los Días”. Debes leer al menos 15 minutos en 5 días diferentes para contar para la meta. La clase de cada nivel de grado que tenga la mayor cantidad de estudiantes que entreguen un Registro de lectura Leer todos los días, con al menos 15 minutos de lectura, en 5 días diferentes será seleccionada para tener una fiesta de donas. Para aumentar la probabilidad de ganar, lea todos los días, durante 5 días seguidos, durante al menos 15 minutos, y entrega inmediatamente su registro de lectura después de terminar. Obtén un nuevo registro, libros nuevos y comienza el proceso nuevamente durante todo el mes.
¡Buena suerte a todos y que ganen los lectores más dedicados!
Volunteers
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.

Compliment Corner
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!
