Dear Awbrey Park Families,

As another school year comes to a close, I want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible volunteers. Whether you helped our classrooms, organized PTO events, or chaperoned field trips, your support has been invaluable. We are incredibly grateful for your time and dedication, and we feel so fortunate to have such a supportive, caring school community.

Looking ahead, we have some exciting projects happening across our campus this summer! Many of you have likely noticed the new covered area being built on the playground. This is actually the first step in preparing for a brand new playground. Over the summer, all of our current playground equipment will be replaced with brand-new structures, ready for students and families to enjoy when we return in the fall.

To keep everyone safe while construction is underway, safety fencing will surround the playground area through the end of August. However, our fields and basketball courts will remain open and available for families to use.

With a busy final week ahead, please be sure to check our school events calendar for important dates, and review the key reminders below as we wrap up the year:

• Last Day of School: The final day of school for students is Friday, June 12th.

• Early Dismissal & Transportation: All students will be dismissed early at 11:45 AM, and regular school transportation will be provided.

• Library Books: School library books were due on Thursday, June 11th. If your child still has any school library books at home, please encourage them to return them to their classroom teacher as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for your continued partnership and for making this another great school year for our staff and students. If you have any questions or concerns as we wrap up the year, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

Jared Tiecke, Principal

As a reminder, Friday, June 12th is the last day of school. Students will be dismissed at 11:45am and lunch will be provided to all interested students.

District transportation will still be available for all students who currently ride the bus.

Our 5th Grade Breakfast will be on Friday, June 12th from 9:00-10:00am in the Awbrey Park cafeteria. Parent/guardians are welcome to join us for our traditional "clap out" as our 5th grade students take one final lap around the outside of the building on their way to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Once students have entered the cafeteria, parents/guardians are invited to check in at the front office (bring photo ID to help expedite the process) and join their student in the cafeteria for a slide show from their 5th grade year at Awbrey Park.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the event or need special accommodations, please contact the school office at 541-790-4050. Thank you!

As we approach the end of the school year, please note that all student medications (both prescription and nonprescription) stored in the Health Room must be picked up by the last day of school: Friday, June 12, 2026.

For safety reasons, medications cannot be sent home with students, and we are unable to store medications over the summer. Any medications not collected by June 12th will be safely discarded in accordance with district policy.

We kindly encourage you to set a reminder to ensure timely pickup. If you have any questions or need to arrange a specific time, feel free to contact me by text (541-654-9713) or email (mccall_s@4j.lane.edu). Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Warm regards,

Suzie McCall, RN
School Nurse
