Message from Principal Schleif

We’re thrilled to share that our first quarter has been a wonderful success! We’ve made great progress toward our 80-30-30 goals, and we’re especially proud that 88% of our students are regular attenders — way to go, families!


As we look ahead, we’re excited to connect with you during family-teacher conferences next month. Teachers will be reaching out soon to schedule a time for you to join a small group conference. These meetings are a great opportunity to celebrate your child’s growth and partner together for continued success.


It’s been a joyful start to the school year filled with learning, laughter, and community — from field trips to our Pirate Parade and Costume Parade, students are creating lasting memories together.


Thank you for your continued partnership in making this such a strong and positive start to the year!


Warmly,

Shawna Schleif

Harvest of the Month - Cranberries!

Each month Rogue Valley Farm to School partners with local farms to bring tastings of our Harvest of the Month. This month is for cranberries! Your student will have the opportunity to taste cranberry applesauce, as well as fresh and dried cranberries at the cafeteria tasting table on 11/12. Learn more about cranberries by checking out this fun interactive sheet (spanish version) where you'll find recipes, videos, nutritional info, kids activities, and information about the local farm where the cranberries were grown! Phoenix Elementary is part of the Rogue Valley Farm to School Digging Deeper School Partnership. To learn more about the partnership and Rogue Valley Farm to School click here. If you want to get involved with our tasting tables, we are looking for parent volunteers this fall! This is a simple and fun way for parents to spend time in the cafeteria during lunch and facilitate the exploration of fresh local food in a way that is low-key and rewarding. If you're interested, please fill out our volunteer form and indicate that you're interested in helping at tasting tables.
