E-Learning Half Day 

Friday, September 2, the children will have an e-learning day half day.  The expectation will be for the children to log into Classlink, then It's Learning, and then click on the Blue Jays Class. The children will have a class zoom meeting at 8:30.  When the meeting concludes, children will have an assignment to complete and turn in on the following Tuesday.  Additionally, children will have the opportunity to follow their i-ready learning paths.  The school day will end at 11:15.  Please be on the lookout for more information coming in an email.

PTA

The Ellis class with the most parent PTA memberships will receive an ice cream party to celebrate!  Please join PTA!

It is very important that all families sign up for our community Remind!  Please text @ac3c9 to number 81010 or if you are having trouble with 81010 try texting @ac3c9 to 971-239-4842  (Please sign up!)

The classrooms can be cool at times.  It is a great idea to send a sweater or sweatshirt, labeled your child's on the tag, in their bookbag. According to administration, students will not be allowed to wear hoodies in school.

Please send in a water bottle labeled with your child's name for them to keep at school throughout the week for when they get thirsty.  The weather is HOT and the children can become extremely thirsty at recess and throughout the day. 

 

Please be sure to login to PowerSchool and sign your student's technology permission slip.  You may also want to purchase a protection plan.  It is highly recommended that the computers remain at school where they can remain fully charged and ready for use each day at school.

This year, the children will be traveling to explorations on Tuesday mornings.  Be sure to send your child to school in shoes that will work well for them in P.E.  For those new to the school, the children have art, music, PE, Spanish, Technology, and Engineering with the exploration teachers in one morning each week.
