Congratulations to Sato 5th grader Adelia Badmaeva who was the Top Finishing 5th grader for the District Spelling Bee! Congratulations Adelia! We are so proud of you!

Sato's Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade teachers have worked hard this year to set students up for success with foundational literacy skills by using an explicit, systematic approach to teaching phonics.

While each K-2 classroom does have some decodable books, our students need even more books in their classroom libraries.

Decodable books are important because they are accessible and only include words with patterns that have been explicitly taught. Students feel success when they can read the words on the page. This project will support students' foundational literacy skills.

Thank you for your support and generosity!

It’s data collection time again for Beaverton’s Safe Routes to School program. The purpose of this program is to make walking and biking to school safe, convenient, and fun.

Parent’s and guardian’s input into how students travel to and from schools and their impression of the safety of the route is valuable as the city and county prioritize needed improvements for our roads.

The following links will take you to a district survey and will be combined with classroom tallies to give us a good picture of how students are getting to and from schools throughout the district.

The district survey will be open for responses for approximately four weeks from May 1st until May 31st. We appreciate your help in giving us information to make the Safe Routes to School program effective for all Beaverton School District students.

Families-

Please keep your students Raccoon Run T Shirt handy! On Friday, June 7th, we will ask students to bring/wear their Raccoon Run T Shirt again so we can take a whole school photo with students wearing their grade level color in Rainbow Order!

Sato will be used to provide Extended School Year Special Education Summer School this year. Therefore, our playground and parking lot will be closed to the public from 8:00am-1:00pm from July 9-July 25th.

What is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month?

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a month to recognize and celebrate the many contributions of Asian and Pacific Islanders throughout America’s history!

Why do we celebrate it?

America has not always recognized and honored the contributions of Asian and Pacific Islanders, and that’s wrong. Now we take time in May to recognize this community, though we engage in this learning all year long!

Family discussion questions:

• What can you do to learn more about the contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islanders?

• A stereotype is an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about specific groups of people. What can you do to dispute any stereotype, including those about Asian and/or Pacific Islanders?

What is Jewish Heritage Month?

Jewish American Heritage Month is a time to learn about and celebrate the diverse cultures and many contributions of Jewish Americans.

Why do we celebrate it?

The United States has often portrayed the Jewish community negatively and has overlooked or ignored their many accomplishments. That is wrong. We learn about the extraordinary Jewish Americans at Sato.
