A message from Megan Elston

Happy Friday! 

It’s been a great week at TRCS. We have been working hard to prepare all of the paperwork for Outdoor School and our 4/5 Week team has also been busy planning for the 4th and 5th grade fun. Please make sure you check in with your 6th, 7th and/or 8th grade student(s). They brought the paperwork home on Thursday. 

We are down to two weeks left in term two! Students should be communicating with teachers about late or missing work and final dates to turn in work for credit. This is a great weekend to check ParentVUE if you haven’t in a while. Thanks for your help at home! 

I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend. We will see everyone back on Tuesday, 2/22/22!

Twin (Twos) Day - We are having a-mostly-impromptu twin day to celebrate the amazing, once-in-a-lifetime date of 2/22/22. And it’s on a TUESDAY! Dress the same as a buddy, or two buddies (it’s the thought that counts) for this very fun day! We will have some very fun activities for students on this day to celebrate.
Late Arrivals/Early Departures - As much as it is possible, we would appreciate notification to office@3rcs.org whenever your student is arriving late or leaving early. There are a lot of moving parts to our days and it is so helpful when we can plan and communicate to our team when these situations arise. We also appreciate scheduling appointments outside of the school day, so that there are limited interruptions in learning in the school day.
OUTDOOR SCHOOL INFORMATION
Dear 6th, 7th and 8th grade parents,

All ODS paperwork was sent home with students yesterday. Please take the time to read through the entire packet. We strive to keep the communication clear and concise. With the added precautions surrounding COVID-19, there is more information than usual to share with you. We strongly encourage all 6/7/8 parent to attend the ODS meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, February 23rd at 4:30 pm. We will be reviewing the program for the week, as well as introducing Trackers staff and our nurse for the week. We will record this meeting in the event that you cannot attend. All paperwork and payments are due Thursday, February 24th.
4/5 WEEK INFORMATION
Dear 4th & 5th grade parents,

Our staff is working hard to plan a fun and unique week for our 4th and 5th grade students while the older students are at Outdoor School. The schedule will be released next week and will include lunch orders, field trip information, and more! Please be watching for this important information.

Thank you!
March Health Curriculum
This March, students will begin receiving instruction in sexual health. According to OAR 581-022-1440(2), each school district shall teach age-appropriate, comprehensive sexuality education, HIV/AIDS, and STD prevention in elementary and secondary schools. If you missed viewing the curriculum last week in person, you can email Jasmine Kiefer to set up an appointment. We are happy to answer any questions that you have that will help you to make an informed decision about your child’s instructional experience. Opt-out forms were emailed to parents this week.
