Happy National Counselor Week!
Thank you, Ms. Brittany, Ms. Kate and Ms. Holly, for all that you do here at Llewellyn! Our stars shine brighter because of you!
Llewellyn Yearbooks
Llewellyn is pleased to provide YEARBOOKS FOR ALL students again this year! The feedback that was received last year was fantastic. YOUR help is needed in making this happen. Yearbooks are roughly $15 to produce. We are asking for donations to help cover this cost. If you are able to pay the $15 for your student(s), please do so here. If you are able to cover another student or even partial cost of a book, this will help us to achieve our goal of a yearbook for every student! You can also bring cash or check to the office as well.
On this note! If you are taking pictures of classroom fieldtrips, events or other school activities please share them with us! You can upload them to this google folder. We would love to have a wide range of photos to choose from for the yearbook!
Recruiting for the Llewellyn Carnival!
Save the Date for the 2025 Llewellyn Carnival on Friday May 30th!
This is a community building event open to Llewellyn Students, their families, friends and prospective students. It runs on parent and community involvement and there will be a sign-up for specific roles in the spring. However, if you or your business would like to run one of our carnival games, we love the help and have many neighborhood organizations participating year after year.
In addition, we are looking for someone to help join our planning team this year. This is a really fun event that is designed to build community and is not a fundraiser. Please help keep this event going and bring some fresh ideas to the party.
Contact Brittany Petering at brittany.g.jones@gmail.com for more information.
From the Office
Parents - When you email us with attendance, call the attendance line (503-916-6256), or sign in your student late, please use the proper first and last names of your students. We are unable to look up students in the Attendance module using preferred names and trying to figure out who the student actually is can be time consuming. Thank you for your help!
If you have a last-minute change to your student's end of day plans, please call the office by 2:00PM. After that, it becomes much harder to get a note to teachers before the day ends. PLEASE CALL! We cannot guarantee that emails to the office or teachers will be seen after noon. Thank you for your help in making sure your student gets where they belong after school!
Please feel free to reach out to the office with questions. The office is open between 7:00AM and 3:00PM on school days.
Volunteering at Llewellyn
We LOVE volunteers! If you plan to volunteer at Llewellyn at any time, a background check must be completed. This is done at the district level at no cost to you and is good for three years. Please keep in mind that it can take up to 2-3 weeks for the application to be processed, especially at the beginning of the year. Look here for more information, to apply, or to see if your current application is still valid.
