Board Update

The board met Thursday evening to do final interviews on two candidates for the Executive Director position. After speaking with both candidates, the board went into an executive session to discuss who could be the best fit. We read all comments from the Google doc as well as faculty input and opinions. Once the discussion was over, the board voted unanimously in public session to allow Erik Johnsen to enter negotiations with the desired candidate. Once an offer has been accepted by the candidate, the board will announce who our new Director will be. We look forward to our schools future and what it holds for our children and community.

As a reminder, all our board meetings are posted on the online school calendar, and agendas are added at least 24 hours prior to the meeting.

If you have a child who will be turning four by June 1, 2022 and are interested in our Sprouts pre-school program that is integrated into our two mixed-age kindergarten classes for the 2022-2023 school year, please email sprouts@madronetrail.org for more information.

State Testing Happening Now

Classes have begun State Testing. 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 in person.

Medieval Games a Success!

The 6th graders traveled to the Kingdom of Woodland today to perform acts of bravery, demonstrate chivalrous behavior, and summon fortitude in the face of adversity. They all succeeded in their quest and were awarded the title of Squire for their deeds. Here they are kneeling before the King to receive a royal blessing before beginning the tournament.
