Parent Night- Rescheduled

We apologize for the last minute cancellation of Parent Night. The Oregon Department of Education is constantly updating their guidance and we have to roll with it as best we can. We will be announcing the rescheduled date next week after we meet together as a faculty.

One of the things we were going to do at Parent Night was sign up for volunteer opportunities and committees. We can still get that process started! Please click on the link below to sign up for volunteer and committee work.

Volunteer Sign-Up Sheet

Registration Packets

Registration packets went out today. Please take the time to fill them out and update the information in there. It's very important we have current information for each student. If you need a replacement packet or have questions about it, contact Miss Sherrie in the office, sherrie.gasper@madronetrail.org

Yoga Instructor Needed

Mr. Tryllium is seeking a yoga instructor amongst the Madrone Trail community who would be willing to offer an introductory yoga class tailored to 10 and 11 year olds in the next couple of weeks. The 5th grade class will be studying ancient India and he would like an expert to bring the core principles and asanas to his class. If you are interested in helping out please email him at mateo.tryllium@madronetrail.org. Namaste.

2020-2021 Yearbooks Still For Sale

We still have 2020-2021 yearbooks for sale in the office! They are $18, cash or check only. We also have a few students who never picked theirs up from last year. We will get those to students next week.

Seeking Substitute Teachers and Classroom Assistants

Madrone Trail is looking to add to our substitute teacher and substitute classroom assistant list. There is a valley wide shortage of subs and we would like to look within our community to see if anyone is interested in being a substitute at our school. To be a substitute teacher you would need to have your Bachelor's Degree and get registered with TSPC (Teacher's Standards and Practices Commission) which we would assist with. We generally prefer not to have parents sub in the classes their children are in for a variety of reasons. If you are interested in either of these positions please contact Dawn in the office, dawn.widen@madronetrail.org.

Meet Nico Grin- Intervention Assistant

Nico Grin joined Madrone Trail last year as our Intervention Assistant. Nico grew up in Northern California but has called Oregon home for over 7 years. She has 8+ years of experience working with students teaching environmental education, leadership, and outdoor education. She also recently finished her Master's in Education at SOU. She and her husband love living here in the valley, having everything a nature lover could want. Outside of work she can be found reading, cooking, backcountry skiing, hiking, working on the house, or adventuring with the dog.
