We survived our first week with rave reviews and fewer glitches than expected! Thank you to the staff and parents who’ve pitched in here and there! If you’re interested in volunteering for the kitchen, please email evan.wilson@madronetrail.org. 

Reminders: to participate in the school lunch program, you need to sign up your student(s) on the EZ school app. It is really important. We have had a large number of kids coming through our line for soup who are not yet registered. STARTING MAY 3, IF YOUR CHILD COMES THROUGH THE KITCHEN AND THEY ARE NOT REGISTERED IN THE APP, THEY WILL BE GIVEN A SACK LUNCH FROM THE DISTRICT. As long as they are in the system, they can receive soup and salad. There has been some misinformation spread that it is free. This is only the case if you’ve qualified for free lunch (please fill out this form to see if you qualify). If your child is in the system and you do not have a cash balance in their account, they will still be charged and your balance will be negative. You are expected to bring your account into good standing in a timely manner. You do not have to upload money to multiple student accounts in different transactions. If you have more than one student, upload the total amount for all of your children to a single account. Then click “transfer to other students” below the list of your kids. Check and cash are accepted at the kitchen on school days from 8:30-11:00 am and 2:00-3:30 pm. If you have questions or need assistance: evan.wilson@madronetrail.org. 

The next May Faire Committee is Monday, April 25 at 3:30 pm.

Timeline:

All children need to be at school by 11 am dressed in white clothing.

All parents are asked to sign up to work a shift or two at the Faire. Click the below link to sign up. We need people to help with set up, starting at 9am, with parking and with all the booths. Your class teacher and parent rep will have your class booth info. 

We need 10 foot pop up tents for each booth. If you have one, please let your class teacher know. 

We are also needing willow branches for Flower crowns.

Every family is asked to bring baked goods to sell at the Bake Sale booth. We prefer homemade goodies and will accept store bought too. 

You can contact the May Faire Committee at mayfaire@madronetrail.org.

From the Athletic Director 

We will begin State Testing in late April. 3rd-8th graders are tested in Language Arts and Math, and 5th and 8th graders take a Science test as well. This is the first year since the pandemic that the students will take the full test and participation rates will be tracked. Parents have the right per Oregon Law to opt their child out of the test. If you would like to do so, please contact our School Test Coordinator, Ms. Cori, cori.royer@madronetrail.org, to arrange to sign the opt out form.

It's National Volunteer Appreciation Week so we would like to take this opportunity to thank some of the volunteers that help Madrone Trail in a variety of ways.

Here are some of the people the faculty would like to thank for their service in no particular order. We fear we may be forgetting some, but know that we appreciate all of you!
