Week 20
1. Drive Slowly
- Slower speeds give drivers more time to react and keep children/adults safe.
- Please do not speed on our street.
- Speed limit should be within 15 miles per hours during drop off and pick-up.
2. No U-Turns
- U-turns are illegal on our street.
- If you can still see Multnomah on your right while driving, do NOT MAKE A U-TURN.
- U-turns create dangerous situations.
- U-turns causes unnecessary traffic.
3. No Jaywalking
- Do not cross in front of the main gate if you are parked across the street from the school.
- The glare from the sun makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for drivers in the valet line to see you.
- You are crossing where the valet line exit, which is very dangerous.
- Walk your children down to the crosswalk at Multnomah and Indiana or down to the kindergarten gate area.
- Let's model safe crossing for our students.
Teachers will be sending out unsatisfactory notices this week. Should your student be at risk of receiving a 1 or 2 score on their upcoming progress report due to any of the following reasons he/she/they will be receiving one.
Unsatisfactory progress towards meeting the expected learning targets
Unsatisfactory progress towards meeting the grade-level standards taught
Progress reports will be issued during the week of March 9 - March 13 during our second semester Parent Conferences.
This is only a midpoint warning notice. It is a good time to have conversations with your student and teacher about what work might be missing or what concepts he/she might need extra support in. It also allows students 5-6 weeks to work on improving his/her/their scores and content knowledge before a final score is awarded.
Please reach out if you have any clarifying questions.
If you have signed up your child for any of our intervention or enrichment programs, please note that attendance is extremely important as there are only a limited number of days the teachers/students are meeting. It is never fun to play catch up, so let's help our students' success factor by ensuring their presence.
During the Fall Festival you might have visited the HAWKS booth. Here is a message from Collette if you are interested in signing your child up. It is a program outside of Multnomah after school hours.
Message from Collette:
HAWKs (Hiking Adventures with Kids) is excited to launch at Multnomah for after school enrichment on Wednesays this semester! Using place-based education, our goal is to create community, forge connections with nature, and instill a sense of stewardship for our earth in our explorers and their families. After school we pick up the explorers in the musical Venture Van, journey to a new trailhead or park, then learn about ecology and nature through games, crafts, journaling, species identification, birding, indigenous stories, and hiking! Our outdoor classrooms include Griffith Park, Deukmejian Wilderness Area, JPL Riparian Area, Elysian Park, Brand Park, and more wonderful green spaces. At 5:45pm, we return the explorers to school for parent pick up. Join us for adventures this Spring! Multnomah After School Link
