Clackamas River Chinooks!
October 7, 2021
We want to thank you all for you cooperation in changing the traffic pattern. We have seen our buses able to come and leave on time, and our parent pick up line moving along much more quickly than in the past. We couldn't have done this without your cooperation.
As a reminder, please wear you facemasks when on school campus. We appreciate the example that this sets for our students and the support it shows for our teaches and staff. We understand that people have all different levels of comfort with our current environment, and while we are requiring masks to be worn by students we appreciate parents and families doing the same.
This week our food pantry and clothing closet open at CRE! If you are dealing with food or clothing insecurity, or if you would like to stop by and see what we have to offer, please come on Wednesday sometime between 1 and 4pm.
This week we were able to hire 2 new online teachers to support our students when they are in quarantine or isolation. We will be working with them in the coming week to make sure they are ready to take on the difficult task of bridging the gap for our learners. Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Jarvis and Mrs. Williams.
Thank you for taking the time to read the updates and watch the video from the school. CRE is a busy place and we want to keep our parents in the know as much as possible! Enjoy your weekend and we'll see you all very soon!

Social Media Challenges
Estacada School District Families,
As reported in the media, there is a new TikTok challenge going around called the “devious lick” challenge. It involves stealing or vandalizing school property and posting videos about it. We have also seen several other challenges over recent days that encourage students to say unkind and hurtful things to other classmates.
Please talk to your child/children about this challenge and about social media in general. While something like this may seem like an innocent prank on the surface, their words and actions have a very real impact on our schools. Students taking place in challenges that hurt or embarrass other students are unacceptable, and will be taken seriously by our administration. Additional challenges that involve theft and vandalism can cost our schools thousands of dollars to repair or replace items, and are a criminal offense. If you or your child need support or resources related to social media challenges, please contact your child’s school counselor.
We also ask that you monitor your child’s TikTok and social media accounts. Here are some resources to get you started as you have important conversations with your students: https://www.commonsense.org/education/family-resources. Additionally, please report any concerns to your child’s school. Strong partnerships between schools and families allow us to proactively address concerns.
Thank you for your support and understanding regarding the impact this trend has had on our schools and community. We appreciate your partnership in working to keep dangerous and destructive social media trends out of our schools.
