INFORMATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
(“*” Indicates the number of weeks it’s been in newsletter.)


This week's staffroom Tom Petty music playlist is being brought to you by Marisa Nordlin!


Lunch Helpers for this week: Mrs. Chandler's class. Click here for the lunch helper schedule! Please send the same 4-5 students this week to help in the lunchroom @ 12:00. Thank you.


Playground: Culture club met and we will begin implementing a few changes over the next few weeks. Thank you for you support as we figure out these needs. 

  • The "Walk the Line" line is now around the basketball courts. This will simplify monitoring.
  • A line will be painted separating upper and primary at recess.
  • Areas will be designated after the line is painted.
Positivity Thought of the Week: The strength of OR is how we treat/celebrate/RESPECT each other and our kids. We celebrate each others success. There's enough negativity in life that every little bit of positive is important to remember. OR will always support those that want to celebrate others professionally and personally.


Walking in the AM: We are looking at other ways to get more support out on the yard when school opens. Be on the look out for the update. 

*Homework Policy: Please remember, at the start of last year we decided that we are a flexible homework school. Homework is not required or turned in for a grade. Nightly reading is encouraged. I'm having a lot of parents talking to me about the homework load at home. We can clarify at our next staff meeting. 

*Lunch Protocol: This is working wonderfully. Thank you. 
  • Teachers will distribute a card with a #1 or a #2 to students who have chosen hot lunch right before lunch, ensuring the appropriate number of cards to students.
  • Hot lunch students will take card to the lunch counter, show it to the helper, then put the number in the appropriate container.
  • The cards will then be returned to a bucket by the mailboxes in the office.
  • Students without cards will be asked to go to the back of the line to ensure that everyone gets the food they ordered.
Note: Dates may change. Please continue to double-check the google calendar to confirm dates.
