Hello Eagles
Sorry for missing a week there, I guess I had a little too much fun at the family movie night! As we head into October, you will quickly discover we have a jam packed month ahead; so be sure to take a few minutes to review all the events on the calendar. Adding to the chaos, many of you will find homework in your folders this week, so please urge your children to plan accordingly.
OPT General Assembly
The OPT General Assembly is happening this Wednesday at 7PM! Please make some time to show up or call in on Zoom! Check your inbox for an email from Darcy with the subject "October 2nd @ 7 PM - OPT General Assembly Meeting & Elections!" for link and password for the zoom call. If you don't see the email, please reach out to evergreenopt@outlook.com to ask for a link.
Field Trips
We have 2 field trips this week! Kindergarten is going to the Arboretum on Monday, and the 4th Grade has a Corn Maze field trip on Thursday. These are the first field trips of the year, and for many in Kindergarten it is their first field trip ever. Later in the month, 3rd and 4th graders have their overnight field trips to Mt St Helens and Islandwood.
Professional Development Day on Friday
This Friday, Orctober 4th is one of the professional development days for our teachers. As a result, there will not be normal classes. If you signed up for camp that day, please remember pizza will not be provided, and you should package lunch for your children.
OPT Skating Party
Next week on October 7th, is the OPT Skating party at Lynwood Skate & Bowl. Skating parties have become tradition at Evergreen and this year we will have three! All family members are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
TIP: If you are looking to rent a push cart (skate assist), please plan to arrive early as those sell out fast!
Picture Day
Time to lower those ears and practice your best smile! Picture day is coming next week on October 10th. You should have received the order form for Lifetouch. Please remember these are just photos for the yearbook and uniforms are required. Later in the year, a free-dress photo day will give your child a chance to express themselves more.
Progress Reports
Also coming up we have our first progress reports next week on Friday October 11th. This will be the first official opportunity to receive feedback about your child's progress, and it is an important mile stone moving toward conferences later in November.
