Welcome back Timberwolves
Cedar Park teachers returned on Monday, August 29th after a long summer that kept them away from the building. They have been working tirelessly all week getting their rooms cleaned and ready for students.
We look forward to greeting the 6th graders on Tuesday, September 5th and all students on Wednesday, September 6th. Please remember that 6th graders are asked to NOT bring anything to school on Tuesday. They can begin bringing supplies on Wednesday. For bell schedules and other important school information, please check out our school website at www.beaverton.k12.or.us/schools/cedar-park.

Keep Cedar Park Awesome! 2017 School Fundraiser
Lat year's fundraiser was such a huge success that this year the PTC has set a goal to earn $50K! We can do it, but we need your help.
Beginning Friday, September 8th (yes, that's the first week of school), we'll have weekly raffles for different actions driving participation through First Giving:
- Friday, Sep 8 - anyone who has set up a FirstGiving page - prize: Blazer tickets
- Friday, Sep 15 - for every unique donor, you get 1 entry into raffle - prize: TopGolf giftcard
- Friday, Sep 22 - for every $50 worth of donations, 1 entry - prize: Timbers tickets
How do you set up a First Giving page? The directions are included in your student's 5K packet, or you can visit this website to donate, join a team or set up your own page. Giving has already begun.
What does the money support? Money raised supports several embedded activities each year, including: after school programs, field trips, 8th grade trip to OSU, 6th grade Outdoor School, 7th grade Engineering experience; team projects and parties, and ongoing school technology needs. In addition, we are targeting a few special projects for support:
- Engineering Lab - help Cedar Park develop and supply the first and only middle school engineering lab. This lab will allow any teacher or class access to technology and design tools to develop engaging and creative projects like this one featured on the district website. Estimated cost: $10K
- Library update - help Cedar Park update our school library so that it's technology and digital-student friendly. We need to purchase furniture that invites and supports student collaboration and technology engagement. We need tables with electrical outlets, whiteboard tables, glass-enclosed study areas, and much more. Estimated cost: $20K
Your support and participation are key to this fundraising effort. Last year, we were able to raise $40K, so we know that our goal this year is possible. Cedar Park is a great school, and we want to keep it that way. Our kids and our school community need your help, so please go online and register today.

Advisory gets a reboot
In addition, the focus of advisory will change throughout the month. The focus themes are Connecting with Kids, Academic Support, MYP Learner Profile / Community Service, WEB Activities / School Activities. We hope students will find this new format more relevant and supportive of their emotional/social/academic needs.
