Happy Friday to All of You!
Progress Reports (i.e. 1st Quarter Grades)
We will be passing out 1st quarter grades to your students today during 7th period so your student(s) should have them when they arrive home. If you do not get them please remember that Edline provides you immediate access to grades and progress. If you still would like a hard copy then please do not hesitate to call the school office at 503-554-4600.
Google App Permission Forms
Google App Permission Forms are due to our office by Monday. If we do not receive these permissions then unfortunately we will have to deny access to Google Docs for your students. Google docs are what we now use for things such as word processing, power points, email, and calendars. It is a very useful tool.
PTO
We had 11 parents at our PTO meeting last night. As always it was a very good dialogue. The PTO minutes will be posted on the website next week so if you cannot attend meetings but are interested in the information please read the minutes. PTO meets every 2nd Thursday of each month. Our next meeting is December 15th at 6:30 PM.
