Eagle Update

We had an incredible Day 1 of our annual Talent Show today! I am so impressed by the courage and confidence our students have to share their talents in front of the school. Our first through third graders truly owned the stage and entertained the audience with their skills. I know our fourth and fifth graders will do the same tomorrow!

Earlier this month, we conducted our winter administration of the MAP assessment for both ELA and Math. The MAP Growth score reports will be distributed to families via ParentSquare tomorrow, February 27. Each report will include your student’s assessment results, along with detailed information explaining how to interpret the data and an overview of the MAP assessment. We look forward to having our students and staff engage with this comprehensive data as we continue to support strong academic growth across our school community.

We are wrapping up Kindness month this week - though we learn about and celebrate acts of Kindness all year long! You may remember that I mentioned we were going to start a Kindness chain with each link representing an act of kindness in the month of February. A big thank you to Ms. Ham who has been creating our chain, it goes back and forth across the hallway from our Learning Lab past the library which is over 400 links as of this report!

Just a reminder, Trimester 2 will be ending next Friday, March 6. There is no school on Monday, March 9 so teachers can work on student grades.

Kindly,

Sarah

As your School Resource Officer, your child’s safety on campus, and on the way to and from school is always my top priority. Please review the following regarding bicycle safety and car seat requirements in the State of Oregon.

Child Car Seat Requirements (ORS 811.210)

• Under 2 years of age: Rear-facing car seat.
• Age 2+ and under 40 lbs: Forward-facing car seat appropriate for age/size.
• Over 40 lbs and under 4'9": Booster seat ensuring proper lap and shoulder belt fit.
• After meeting height/weight requirements OR at age 8: Children may transition to the vehicle’s standard seat and seatbelt.
• In Oregon, no specific law sets a minimum age for front-seat riding, but it’s safest for children to ride in the back until age 13.
• Rear-facing seats must never be placed in the front seat.

Bicycles, E-Bikes & Other Wheeled Devices

• Helmets are required for all children under 16 when using bikes, scooters, skateboards, or rollerblades. Failure to do so can result in a $25 citation issued to you, or your child (age dependent). (ORS 814.485 & 814.600)
• E-bikes and e-scooters are not legal for riders under 16 unless on private property. State legislation is still working to implement specific statutes to address this newer technology
• An e-bike must have working pedals for human propulsion. Without pedals, it is NOT an E-bike. It is considered a moped or motorcycle and must follow different laws. (ORS 801.258)

To celebrate, Nutrition Services is hosting a special drawing! Every student who participates in the school breakfast program next week will be entered for a chance to win. On Friday, March 6, we will draw the name of one winner for each school.

The Prize: Each winner will receive a $25 Fandango gift card, furnished by our partners at Cool School Cafe. Happy School Breakfast Week everyone!

Kindergarten Open House is an event for parents and incoming Kindergarten students to visit the school, hear from staff members, and meet their peers.

Kindergarten Open House

March 12 from 4:00 - 6:00

Archer Glen Elementary

Families should park in the main parking lot and enter through the front doors (the front doors face Sunset Blvd). Sessions will start every 25 minutes, starting at 4:00. The last session will start at 5:40. Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes prior to the start of your preferred session.

While waiting for sessions to begin, families will be given a chance to meet representatives from the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), learn about the on-site after school care option, take a picture in the self-serve photo booth, and do a craft activity together.

Individual Kindergarten Open House sessions may fill up. To guarantee a spot in your preferred session, families have the option of reserving a session by clicking here: Archer Glen Kindergarten Open House Reservations (not required to attend the Kindergarten Open House). One reservation per family - both parents can attend the session using one reservation.

We are excited to announce Archer Glen's SECOND ANNUAL International Culture Night to celebrate the many diverse cultures that represent who we are as a community. We would be so happy if you would be willing to share with us your heritage and culture! This year the date will be April 14th! Last year, this event was a huge success and many people attended to celebrate our diversity! We would love families to share their culture through craft, food, artifacts, dance, pictures, etc. to enjoy and experience the many wonderful cultures that make up our school! Please return the form sent home in your child's Friday folder if you are interested. Extra forms are also available in the office.

The District welcomes volunteers into our school buildings. 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.

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).
