Happy Friday to you! We had a great return to school and hit the ground running! We loved seeing everybody back at school and to hear about all the amazing things our community did over the break! As we get settled back in to school here are some things coming up next week.
Midterms are next week - the term is going by quickly! Please be aware that our grade book program Chalk is frozen during the next week. This is a great time to check in with teachers and make sure that students are headed on the trajectory towards success!
Next week is also our winter round of MAP testing - please help by talking through testing with your kids. We have been talking through testing strategies here at school and with your help at home, there is nothing but success ahead. Discuss how to slowly take a test, what do you do when you don't know an answer (test taking strategies: eliminate the possibilities, narrow your choices, listen to the tone of the answers). A good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast are very helpful, too!
Have a great weekend and we will see you all on Monday!
Mindset thought of the week:
Prior to the holiday break we lost a dear friend, Mark Silverman, a long time member of the West Linn-Wilsonville community. One way we can all honor Mark and continue his legacy is to live by one of his favorite mindsets. Mark was known for saying and living by this quote, “
Be kinder than necessary
.” What a simple and powerful statement. The best way to honor Mark is to live this mantra every day! It really does have the power to change our world. Thank you Mark for the impact you have made on this community and we honor you by working towards the goal of always “being kinder than necessary!”

Mid-Term Week
Midterm week is next week! This is when we put posting grades on pause so students can evaluate their accomplishments half way through the term. Chalk will be frozen from January 14th-21st. Students can check in with their teachers at any time during this week to discuss grades, missing assignments or with any other questions. We hope you will encourage them to approach a teacher with any and all questions so they can feel successful in their classes. Chalk will be back in action on January 22nd!

Swimming PE Unit Ahead!
On January 22nd-25th, we will be heading to the
North Clackamas Aquatic Center for four days of PE fun in the pool. They have an amazing program that the kids really love. Obstacle Courses, Water Polo, Water Basketball, Relay Races and of course, our favorite - wave pool and slides.
See our school schedule for the week. Please check your child's swimsuit and make sure it still fits. This is the time for a well-fitting, modest, one piece suit, or one that is meant for swimming (not sunning). We can only accept signed doctor notes for not joining in the fun! Please bring a suit, clean towel, and a plastic bag for wet items to school each day!
