Principal's Message
Dear Terra Linda Families,
We had quite a week last week! It was the first week that all of our Kindergarteners were at school, and it was the first full week for the other grades. Staff and students are all working on our stamina for full days of in-person instruction for five days in a row! Teachers were focused on building strong classroom communities and getting to know each of their students.
At the same time we are building community, we are also maintaining our focus on safety protocols like wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and frequent hand washing and hand sanitizing. We are also using quarantine as an additional tool to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Sometimes we will need to quarantine an individual student; other times we may need to quarantine an entire class. Both are preventative measures that follow Washington County Health Department guidance. Our sincere hope is that all of our safety measures allow in-person school to continue for the majority, if not all, of our students. If your student is in quarantine or is assigned to quarantine at some point in the future, please know we will connect with you and your student to help them continue learning while they are at home. Students who continue connecting with us at school each day while in quarantine will not be marked absent.
Emergency Drills
Students will be practicing several emergency procedures this week:
- This morning, students participated in a Lockdown drill. Here is more information about BSD Emergency Protocols that you can use in case your child has any questions. Though lockdowns are used in only the most serious of situations, we explain to students that lockdowns are one way to keep them safe at school.
- On Tuesday, students will participate in a fire drill. We practice evacuating the building quickly and quietly and gathering as a class outdoors away from the building.,
- Teachers will also be showing students a bus evacuation video to explain what to do if there is an emergency while on a school bus while traveling to or from school or on a field trip.
Curriculum Night 9.23.21
Thursday is Curriculum Night! Your child's teacher will be on Zoom at 6:30pm to share details about their plans for this coming school year. Zoom codes will be sent out by your child's teachers. I will also send out a summary of codes on Wednesday.
On Friday, teachers will be sending out a recording of each session in case you have more than one child at Terra Linda and want to see all presentations. If your preferred language is something other than English, you can turn on the Closed Captioning feature in the YouTube video we send home.
If you would like an interpreter to meet with you on Zoom and interpret the recording in your preferred language, please send a ParentSquare message to Maria Anast and Liz Sarles. We will arrange an interpreter for you beginning the week of September 27.
Teachers are looking forward to connecting with you on Thursday!
With Appreciation,
Christy

We are not allowing guest riders on buses this year, such as students going home with a friend for a play date, due to COVID, contact tracing, and space availability. Thank you for understanding.
Please Label Everything with your Child's Name
Club K After School Zone (Repeat)
They do not yet have enough students interested in morning care. If you're interested, please fill out the ParentSquare form that we sent out today. We will take all names of interested families and share with Club K. If we can get morning care started, you would then need to register with Club K.
Morning Care (if it is offered) would be available from 6:45am to 8:15am on school days. Cost for morning care would depend on the number of days needed.
ParentSquare for School Communication This Year (Repeat)
The Beaverton School District is now using the ParentSquare platform for district, school and teacher communications, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent/guardian, using their preferred email address and phone number. Download the app or log into the ParentSquare web portal. For more information, please visit the BSD ParentSquare webpage.
Be sure to customize your settings to match your preferences! You can choose to receive messages as texts, emails, and/or in the app. To update preferences, click on your name in the upper right corner, choose "my account" then "Customize my Settings" on the far right.
Need help? Just call us at Terra Linda. You can also watch the short video below.
