Onsite Testing: This is now once a week. For the month of March we will have surveillance testing every Tuesday from 12:15 - 3:15 

The first half will be school/district info and the second half will be CAASPP Training for grades 3-5.

Trash from Recess: After each recess, please have your classes do a quick pick up of playground trash. This will really help when the wind is blowing and keep our campus clean.

Dress Code: As the weather gets warmer, please remind your students and families of appropriate clothes. Here is an excerpt from our OR Student Handbook

  • Shoes must be worn at all times.  Sandals must have straps and toes need to be covered.  No flip-flops.

  • Clothing should be free of writing, pictures or any other insignia, which are crude, vulgar, profane, or deemed inappropriate for school attire.

  • Clothing must conceal undergarments at all times.  See through shirts, tank tops, halter tops, spaghetti straps, low cut tops, bare midriffs, tight shorts and very short skirts or shorts are prohibited.  Pants must be worn around the waist and not hanging below the mid-section.  All tank tops must be at minimum of two finger widths wide.

*Recesses: Please follow recess times and return to class. It affects other services and times because other students are waiting.
