The Fowler Weekly

Dear Fowler Families,

Our PSO is just absolutely amazing. We just wrapped up Teacher Appreciation Week and the amazing Taco Bar on Wednesday was fire! Thank you PSO. We are always looking for parents to donate time or skills. Whether you are a PSO elected member, a meeting participant, or an occasional volunteer, you are valued! Our teachers work incredibly hard for your children and we hope you will consider joining some or all of PSO options in the future. We are still looking for some elected and volunteer positions for next year. Please reach out to Trish, tmerrick@ttsd.k12.or.us, or Heather Champion, fowlerpsopresident@gmail.com, if you are interested and want to learn more.

Please double check your calendars as May 22nd is a no school day because it is a professional development day. This one will sneak up on us, and I want to make sure you have plans for your students on that day. Please tell them I’m suggesting reading novels and working on math. ;-)

Have a great week!

Andy

We had a fun week celebrating our teachers! By Tuesday we had hung their portraits in the Main Office with the message “WE LOVE OUR TEACHERS!”

Wednesday our Fabulous PSO, and many families, provided a delicious Taco Bar. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our lunch! We loved the picture: “Let’s TACO ‘BOUT our amazing TEACHERS!” A special thank you to Alicia Bales and Noelle Gross for leading this charge.

We have three ASA Jamborees this week! Yes! All on Wednesday, May 15. And really, we have four, because our ASA Cheer will be supporting our Soccer Jamboree.

• ASA Basketball Jamboree versus Hazelbrook

• ASA Soccer Jamboree versus Hazelbrook

• ASA Volleyball Jamboree at Hazelbrook

Jamborees run from 3:30-5:00. Families are welcome to come watch the Jamborees - please enter the Gym entrance for Basketball. Soccer will be held at the track.

For Volleyball, parents/guardians may check their student out with the coach following the Jamboree and take them home directly from the Jamboree if they choose. For remaining students, the bus will return to Fowler at approximately 5:30pm. Student participants will NEED A RIDE HOME.

It’s time to prepare for the Talent Show at the end of the year! We have a LOT of super talented people and it’s time for them to shine!

Here is the timeline:

• May 17: Applications Due

• May 21 & 23: Auditions 3:15-4:15pm

• June 5 & 6: Mandatory Rehearsals 3:15-4:15pm

• June 11: Mandatory Dress Rehearsal 3:15-500pm

• June 12: Performance at the end of the school day

Fowler Middle School students will participate in the PBIS School Climate Survey during Morning Meeting the week of May 20, 2024.

The School Climate Survey is an anonymous survey used to identify school climate issues within our school. There are 9 questions asking about student experiences at school and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. As part of the survey, students are asked demographic information about identity. A copy of the Student School Climate Survey questions are linked here for your review.

The data collected from this survey will be used to understand student perceptions of school climate issues within our school and how student identity may impact each student’s school experiences. School staff will use the survey results to inform our efforts to improve our school climate.

Though survey results are anonymous, families are given the option for their student to opt-out of participation. If you would like to opt your student out, please contact Raquel Trujano, Counseling Secretary, rtrujano@ttsd.k12.or.us or 503-431-5009. Although our hope is for all students to take the survey, we will honor requests to opt out.

Tuesday, May 14

This week Tigard High School sports will be visiting our lunches in order to encourage your student to get involved in their teams next year! Several fall sports hold camps this spring. Encourage your student to check it out the opportunities available to them.

The 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony is June 12! We look forward to celebrating our 8th graders moving on to High School. We will host this Celebration at Tigard High School from 6-7pm on Wednesday, June 12. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend this Celebration, we do ask that you limit attendees to immediate family members.

We would love to get a picture of your student as a younger version of themselves. (A baby picture, or anything before 8th grade, we’re not picky!) We have many already submitted, but we would really like to honor all of our students in this way. It is definitely NOT too late!

• There will be a slideshow for the 8th Grade Celebration, and we would like to be able to include both a current photo and a young photo of each student.

• If you would like to submit a current picture for us to use other than their school photo, because so many of them have changed significantly since the beginning of the year, you are welcome to do so. We would prefer not to use “selfies” for the slideshow.

• Please send pictures to fowleroffice@ttsd.k12.or.us along with your students full name and/or ID number.

Mr. Kobor is taking students on his last educational trip to Scotland, England, and Paris in Summer 2026, and your student is invited! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you will not want to miss. We will start in Edinburgh, where we will experience kilts, bagpipes, and haggis as we absorb proud Scottish history. Then it's on to England, where we will explore Warwick Castle, Shakespeare's birthplace Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford University, Windsor Castle, and a theatre performance in the iconic city of London. Lastly, we will experience the history and culture of Paris - a magical city!
