The October Character Trait at the K8 is Integrity. Having INTEGRITY is being strong enough to do what you know is right. You can have integrity by knowing the difference between right and wrong and choosing to do the right thing, even when it is difficult.
The Youth Truth Family Survey for the 509J School District is now open. The survey is to better understand how to improve the school experience for your child. This is your chance to make an impact on the future of our schools, and it takes around 15 minutes of your time. There is a link to the survey in the October Eagle Nest newsletter (https://cep.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5oG5AJffycgQvcy?DEIFamily=1&Q_JFE=qdg&gender=2)
The annual Impact Aid Family Engagement Meeting is coming up Thursday October 24th at 5pm at the Warm Springs K thru 8 Academy. Dinner will be provided. This will be an opportunity to learn about how Impact Aid funds have been spent in the 509J school district this past year and offer input for ideas and recommendations for new initiatives for students.
Attendance Matters. Missing 2 days a month can affect a student’s academic progress. By 9th grade attendance is a better predictor for high school graduation than 8th grade test scores. What you can do to help with your student’s attendance:
- Talk about the importance of showing up to school every day.
- Help your children maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
- Schedule non-urgent medical appointments and dentist appointments on no school days.
- Encourage your child to join meaningful after-school activities, including sports and clubs.
- Check on your child’s attendance in PowerSchool to be sure absences are not adding up.
- Call your child’s school if you have questions or need support.
During the school year the Caldera Arts program provides an enrichment opportunity for students during REACH once per week. Students need permission to attend Caldera and spots are limited. Interested Students can reach out to counselor, Anna Keifer at akeifer@509j.net or call the school office. Students can also pick up a permission form from Mrs. Keifer.
Family Access Network advocates are service brokers who link children and families to critical social supports with the goal of keeping children in school. You can contact our WSK8 FAN Advocate, Jodi Begay by text/call at 541-647-7214 or email jbegay@509j.net.
