Conference Sign Up
https://ptcfast.com/schools/John_McLoughlin_Elementary
Conferences are very important to us. It is a great time to connect about your child's progress. Please note that teachers will not be able to accommodate more than one conference per child and will only be able to conduct conferences during our district allotted conference days. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Ms. Henkin, principal.
If you are unable to sign up using the link, please contact your child's teacher.
Kinder Connect March 5th 5:00pm-6:00pm
Meal Angel
Thank you for the generous donations to date! There is more need. So please consider becoming a "Meal Angel" for a student with a high meal account balance. Donations taken at the front office.
Oregon State 5th Grade Science Testing Begins March 11th
ODE anticipates that the OSAS Science Assessment will take most students roughly ninety minutes to complete. Scores will not be available to students immediately upon completion of the assessment. Teachers will begin reviewing practice science tests this week. In addition, students will be given breaks. If you want to exempt your child from science testing please contact Ms. Henkin. This is a significantly different process than opting out of testing per ODE. Candice.Henkin@orecity.k12.or.us
We recycle plastic at JME
For the last several years John McLoughlin has participated in the TREX plastic recycling challenge. WE accept clean stretchy plastic. Plastic recycling bins are located at our front door. Since January 2020, our local stores are no longer providing single use plastic bags, but there is a lot more plastic that can be recycled. Anything stretchy and clean!
Thank you to these local businesses and service organizations that continually donate plastic to us for the TREX Challenge: Healthy Pet, West Linn, 1st Presbyterian Church HOPE program, and OC's "Yoga for Life" class.
