January 26th
Athey Creek Families,
What a wild ride. Your students did a great job getting back into the swing of things this week. Thank you for your patience and support. I know we've had a few challenging things occur. Please know that I take our school's safety seriously, and we work each day to make Athey a safe and inclusive school. Please email or call with questions. I will make sure to connect with you. It's hard to believe we were iced in last week. Despite the rain, kids were back at recess playing on the field, walking the track, and playing foursquare.
MAPs testing has begun, students are working hard on revisions as the quarter comes to an end, and teachers look forward to a fresh reset at Semester 2!
* Some student's schedules may have changed to balance class sizes or support a change in classroom dynamics
* Some classes might have changed if your student had a double art elective or a missing class period
* If your student has an urgent request, please have them complete a form with the main office. We are not changing classes for teacher preference or shuffling to be in a period with friends. 😉

West Linn Public Library
The West Linn Public Library is coming to visit Athey's 6th graders during lunch recess on Wednesday, Jan. 31st in the library. The 7/8th grade is scheduled for February 14th during lunch recess.
During the library lunch visits, we will be designing and creating buttons using a button press. Students will also have the optional opportunity to get a public library card if they are interested. If students are interested in getting a library card, students will be asked to fill out a library card form and will be providing the following information on the form:
First and Last Name Birthday Home address Email Phone number Create a 4 digit pin specific to their card
Mental Health Support: Question, Persuade, Refer
See information from our Social Work Team attached.
Lost... but not found
As a reminder, please send your student to check the lost and found. On February 2nd (the grading day) we will donate the items to a local charity and start fresh for Semester 2. Thank you!
