CFT Weekly Wildcat
Week of April 3 , 2023
Message from the Principal
Wildcat Families,
Today I’d like to highlight and celebrate your support and partnership, while at the same time looking ahead continuing to build our family-to-school connections. First, a huge thank you to all of our families for their tremendous support for last week’s Jog-a-thon, both through financial donations as well as with in-person cheering and support. Early indications are that our PSO raised more money than ever before. We look forward to investing those funds in new ways to build community and a love of learning. Your commitment to donate what you’re able both financially and with your time is support that is felt and appreciated throughout our school.
We look forward to meeting this upcoming week to build partnerships between our teachers, students and families with our Family Partnership Days. This coming week we’ll have no school for students on Thursday and Friday as families join us on Wednesday night or throughout the day and evening on Thursday to gather, reflect on how things are going so far this school year, and to set student learning and behavior goals for the year ahead. Our hopes are that we get to listen to your experiences, your child’s experiences and to share ours with the hopes of collaboratively making some amazing plans together.
If you have not yet heard from your child’s teacher about setting up an appointment for these partnership meetings, please let us know.
Have an amazing weekend and we’ll see you next week!
Sincerely,
Tim, Principal
Mensaje del Director
Familias Wildcat,
Hoy me gustaría resaltar y celebrar su apoyo y colaboración, mientras al mismo tiempo miro hacia el futuro para seguir construyendo nuestras conexiones entre la familia y la escuela. Primero, un enorme agradecimiento a todas nuestras familias por su tremendo apoyo durante el Jog-a-thon de la semana pasada, tanto a través de donaciones financieras como con aplausos y apoyo en persona. Los primeros indicios son que nuestro PSO recaudó más dinero que nunca. Esperamos invertir esos fondos en nuevas formas de construir una comunidad y el amor por el aprendizaje. Su compromiso de donar lo que pueda, tanto económicamente como con su tiempo, es un apoyo que se siente y aprecia en toda nuestra escuela.
Esperamos reunirnos la próxima semana para construir asociaciones entre nuestros maestros, estudiantes y familias con nuestros Días de Asociación Familiar (conferencias). La próxima semana no tendremos clases para los estudiantes el jueves y viernes, ya que las familias se unirán a nosotros el miércoles por la noche o durante todo el día y la noche del jueves para reunirse, reflexionar sobre cómo van las cosas en lo que va del año escolar y establecer el aprendizaje de los estudiantes y objetivos de comportamiento para el año. Nuestra esperanza es que podamos escuchar sus experiencias, las de su hijo y compartir las nuestras con la esperanza de hacer juntos algunos planes increíbles en colaboración.
Si aún no ha recibido noticias del maestro de su hijo acerca de programar una cita para estas reuniones de asociación, háganoslo saber.
¡Que tengas un fin de semana increíble y nos vemos la próxima semana!
Atentamente,
Tim, Director
MESSAGE FROM YOUR PARENT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION (PSO)
Jog-a-thon
Thank you everyone for your time, donations, and overall support. We surpassed our goal of $20,000 and set a new school record by raising over $30,000! The top 3 class with the most money raised by November 17th gets a class celebration. So far it is a close race but there is still time to help your student's class be one of the top three. Visit pledgestar to see the current standings and make donations. Special thanks to Alicia Bales, Allie Valesano, and the specials teachers for their efforts to make this a fun event and successful fundraiser.
Oregon Battle Of the Books (OBOB)
We are also still looking for more parent volunteers. We have about 50 students signed up today, and to make this a successful program, we need more volunteers. Volunteers need to attend each meeting to help manage the kids and to also help run the battles. Our first meeting is next Monday, 10/23 from 2:20-3:20.
