Weekly Check In
Madrone Trail Community,
Thank you to all of the students and parents for stepping up to the challenge of taking and administering the I-Ready test at home! As of today, we have 85% of the tests complete, 8% in progress, and 7% not started. That's pretty good for our first try! Class teachers and/or aides will be reaching out to those still not finished on Monday to help get our complete percentage up to 100%. The test can be taken over the weekend, if that works better for families. Some students have had to redo their test because of rushing. The test will flag students that go too quickly, or seem like they are just clicking buttons at random. It's important we get accurate results, so retesting is important. Class teachers will speak to families if that is the case. The next testing window is January, so we don't need to worry about this again for awhile.
We have another Materials Pick Up and Drop Off Day for some classes, including specialty classes, coming up on Thursday, October 29. If you are unable to come on Thursday, the school office will be open on Friday, October 30, even though there is no school that day. We are trying to standardize when our pick up days are across all classes to minimize the amount of times parents have to come to school. We apologize that there hasn't been consistency so far. Look for emails from class and specialty teachers for details.
Halloween is also coming up soon! Look for an email from your child's class teacher as to what their plan is for it.
Stay safe, don't forget to vote, and enjoy the beautiful fall weather and colors.
Blessings on our school,
~Cori Royer
Assistant Director/Games Teacher

Madrone Trail T-shirts
We still have t-shirts for sale in the office! If you're new to the school, or your child is outgrowing their old one, this is the time to get one. We are putting them on sale, $10 for a kid's shirt and $15 for an adult shirt. You can pay with cash, credit card, or check. Pick one up the next time you are at school.

Easy Ways to Support Madrone Trail
If you shop at Amazon and/or Fred Meyer there is an easy way to earn money for our school!
For Amazon: The Amazon Smile program donates 0.5% of eligible purchases to organizations. Go to smile.amazon.com and choose Madrone Trail Initiative as your charity of choice. You can only do this through a web browser, not the app. Every time you shop, remember to do so through the website, and 0.5% will go to our school on eligible purchases.
For Fred Meyer: The Fred Meyer Community Rewards program donates to local schools, community organizations, and non-profits. Go to their website and click on the link to "Link your Rewards Card now." You will need to create a log-in if you don't have one already, or sign-in if you do. Search for Madrone Trail Public Charter School, and select us as your charity of choice. Every time you use your Fred Meyer Reward Card it will donate a small portion to our school. Last quarter our school earned $30.36 from only 13 families, the more families we can get to do this the better!
Thanks for your support!
