Athey Notes
Week 18
Welcome to Week 18
Dear Athey Community,
Welcome to the 2023 portion of our school year! We began the new year with goal setting, non legally binding resolutions and one word intentions. A large number of promises to remember to bring a pencil to class, keep their locker clean, meet deadlines, make new friends, be positive, have hope and so much more were made. It might be fun to check in with your students to see what they are hoping to do in this upcoming year and see how you can support them!
This week we are back to a full week! All of our clubs - Scratch Coding, Science Fair, Green Thumb, Origami, We Care Alliance and HOMEWORK Club - will be meeting after school. Our 7th and 8th grade FTC Robotics group is continuing to prepare for their big competition in February. At the end of the week we will be sending 20 students to Eugene to take part in the All State OMEA music conference. And lastly, our PTSA will be regularly gathering donations for their huge and amazing garage sale on Wednesday mornings.
Thank you for all you do to support your students as we head to the end of the quarter!
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Joel Sebastian
Athey Creek Middle School Principal

West Linn-Wilsonville COVID-19 Reminders
WLWV continues to support the health and safety of our students and staff. All students and staff members are expected to monitor for signs and symptoms of illness. As we move through this pandemic, community support has grown and access to COVID-19 tests are more readily available in the community. A school may send a student home with an at-home test in certain situations, but onsite testing is not available.
If you are seeking more regular testing, Oregon Health Authority does support a staff screening program (linked here). Students and staff are required to isolate at home in the event they test positive for COVID-19 or if they are exhibiting 2 or more COVID-19 symptoms. Please use this screening tool to determine whether or not you or your student should come to school.
Avisos sobre COVID-19 de West Linn-Wilsonville
El Distrito Escolar WLWV continúa respaldando la seguridad y salud de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Se espera que todos los estudiantes y miembros del personal vigilen su salud por signos y síntomas de enfermedad. A medida que avanzamos por esta pandemia, el apoyo de la comunidad ha crecido y el acceso a pruebas de COVID-19, son más fácilmente disponibles en ésta. Una escuela puede mandar a un estudiante a casa con una prueba para la casa en ciertas situaciones, pero no están disponibles las evaluaciones en sitio.
Si usted está buscando pruebas más regulares, la Autoridad de Salubridad de Oregon, respalda un programa de examinación al personal (ligada aquí). Se requiere que los estudiantes y personal se aislen en casa en el evento que resulten en la prueba de manera positiva por COVID-19 o si están exhibiendo dos o más síntomas de éste. Por favor, use esta herramienta para examinarse, y determinar si usted o su estudiante deben de presentarse en la escuela o no.
