Eagle Update

And just like that, September is already coming to a close!

Tonight we have our Playground Ribbon Cutting Ceremony followed by our Back to School Night! Families and students are invited to attend the Ribbon Cutting at 5:15 and then Back to School Night between 5:30 and 7:00 pm at a time that works with your schedule. Students will be able to show their families the work they have been doing so far this year. Classroom teachers will have information and activities available for families to participate in either during the visit or to take home. Additionally, families can choose to visit our Specials Teachers, the Media Center, the Eagle Zone, or check in with Mrs. Hartley or Mrs. Laura. Our District curriculum newsletter was sent out yesterday but is also linked here for information about the content standards that are covered in our elementary schools.

Last week, we introduced this year's Fun Run with our annual Kickoff Assembly! Students got a glimpse of what they can expect for this year's Fun Run and the different prizes we are trying to earn as a school. You may have heard something about an ice cream on my head - and yes, one of the prizes is to turn me into an ice cream sundae! The students seemed particularly excited for that one!! Fun Run envelopes came home in Friday folders last week and can be returned to teachers or to the front office all the way up to the day of event, Friday, October 2. It is going to be a great day!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at tonight's events!

Kindly,

Sarah

Oregon is committed to preparing every learner with academic knowledge and skills necessary for success beyond high school. Oregon’s statewide assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are fully aligned to Oregon’s State Standards and provide students in grades 3-8 and 11, along with their families, one measure of academic achievement and growth.

Oregon law (ORS 329.479) permits parents and adult students to annually opt-out of Oregon’s statewide assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and/or Mathematics by submitting an annual form. The opt out form will be provided at least 30 days prior to the start of testing. Testing will be in the spring. Specific testing windows will be shared at a later date.

The Annual Notice of Statewide Tests linked below provides additional information about state testing requirements.

The District will be welcoming volunteers back into our school buildings this year. All volunteers will need to complete and have an approved background check on file prior to volunteering (this must be renewed each school year). The background check process can take 7-10 business days, so please allow sufficient processing time if you are planning to volunteer for a specific event.

Our Archer Glen Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is creating an updated email list for school information and other ways to support our school. If you are looking to volunteer at Archer Glen this year, please sign up using the link shared here. If you are new to Archer Glen you will need to create a new login. Past volunteers can use their old sign in. (Please note that this link does not work well on your phone so you will need to use another device).

ALL parents will need to fill out their information again as the system gets updated each fall. The registration will ask some questions about volunteer preferences, please still answer the questions and select all activities you might be interested in learning more about!

You can find out more information about how to sign up for volunteer opportunities at Archer Glen using HelpCounter by visiting Archer Glen PAC's Instagram handle here.
