The

The aquatic center was fantastic this week! Students had fun playing inner tube water polo, swimming through obstacle courses, working with teams in relays, and of course, the free swim today. Another highlight today were the pool’s vending machines! Hopefully, all students found that during the winter, being at the pool is quite amazing.
We have our annual State of the School meeting this coming Thursday. It will be an opportunity to look back at the first half of the year and look forward to all the great events ahead. We will be talking curriculum, board goals, upcoming dates (at least all the ones we have set) ODS/4-5 week, and the board will be talking strategic plan. We could also use some help with baked goods for our night. If you are willing to provide some baked goods please contact
the office
. Gatherings are always better with yummy treats!
We are in the height of flu/cold season. We are doing everything we can here to keep the building and surfaces as clean as possible. If your child is staying home please contact the office as soon as possible. Here are the guidelines TRCS follows as recommended by Clackamas County Health Authority.
Cold and Flu policy:
Fevers:
- Your child needs to stay at home until the fever is below 100.5 for 24 hours without fever-reducing medicine.
- If your child is sent home due to a fever, they must stay home and be fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medicine.
Vomiting or Diarrhea:
- Your child needs to stay home until symptoms are gone for 24 hours.
Compassion thought of the week: As we continue to celebrate MLK, I wanted to share a quote I saw this week. It is not one of his most common quotes, but I enjoy its simplicity and message, "No person has the right to rain on your dreams." We live in a society with a lot of quick inputs via the internet and social media. I think it is more important now than ever to encourage each other and believe that we can achieve what we dream. We can also achieve more when we do things together! Keep dreaming and keep supporting those around you to chase those dreams.
Have a great weekend and we will see everybody on Monday!
