June 1–5 is spirit week! Show your school spirit by dressing according to these themes:

• MONDAY: SPORTS DAY (AND FIELD DAY!)
• TUESDAY: PAJAMA DAY
• WEDNESDAY: CHEETAH PRIDE DAY
• THURSDAY: CAREER DAY
• FRIDAY: DRESS LIKE A TEACHER DAY

We are excited to announce that Field Day will be on Monday, June 1st this year, with the following schedule:

• Grades 3–5 from 9:15–10:45 a.m.
• Grades K–2 from 12:15–1:45 p.m.

Then the Staff vs. 5th Grade Kickball Game will be that afternoon from 1:50–2:25 p.m.

Don't forget your water bottles!

We have noticed a couple instances of bikes being left on the upper playground during school hours. Please make sure, if you are leaving a bike or scooter at school, that it is left on the bike racks, NOT on the playground or locked to the fence. It becomes a problem with kids messing with them at recess time. Thank you!

Priority Pre-K enrollment is given to:

• Children from families affected by homelessness, incarceration, substance abuse, mental health issues, and domestic violence;
• Migrant and refugee families;
• Children who speak languages other than English;
• Children who experience developmental delays and disabilities;
• Children of teen parents or military families;
• Children living in foster care;
• Children enrolled in a Title VI Indian Education Program or organization.

Even if your family does not meet any of the above criteria, we still encourage you to apply. Applications are available on the PPS website, and you’ll find answers to any questions you might have on the PPS Early Learners page. You can also reach the Pre-K team via email at prekprograms@pps.net and by phone at (971) 706-1806.

Please check the lost and found regularly to claim lost items. It is a big task to deal with all these items, so please help us! At the end of the year all items will be donated to the PPS Clothing Closet.

PPS works hard to ensure that all staff and students are trained to respond effectively and efficiently during an emergency at or near school. One of the many ways we accomplish this is through our mandatory drill requirements. These drills are essential in ensuring our school community is as prepared as possible for emergency situations. Learn more about PPS Emergency Management here.

Atkinson has completed our drill requirements for the year, so we're done!
