PTC Meeting updates

Special thanks to BSD Emergency Coordinator, Ashley Vanderjagt, who shared at our PTC Meeting last night.  She went over the many districtwide security improvements that have been incorporated, emergency protocol & drills, as well as emergency preparedness tips for your family and home.

She is a wealth of information!  If you couldn’t make it to last nights’ meeting but have some questions, please contact Ashley at ashley_vanderjagt@beaverton.k12.or.us,  or visit BSD’s Public Safety Office page.

Passport Club

The world is complex and not always black and white.  Einstein said, “The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.”

All the more reason that young people should gain a foundation in geography so that, later on, they are more apt to wrestle with the complexities of life more successfully.

Cast your VOTE

The Beaverton School Board on Monday, Jan. 22, 2018 unanimously adopted a resolution to place a five-year Local Option Levy Renewal on the May 15, 2018 ballot. This is a vote-by-mail election.

If approved, the Local Option Levy Renewal would allow Beaverton schools to preserve 300 teaching positions, maintain class sizes, and help ensure students are prepared for post-high school success. The levy renewal costs $1.25 per $1,000 assessed property value. Homes with the median assessed value of $238,000 would continue to pay less than $25 per month. The levy could raise approximately $31-$35 million a year.

In 2013, voters approved a five-year local option levy to restore teaching positions that had been cut due to repeated state funding shortfalls. The levy has raised $128 million, and 100% has remained in Beaverton schools to fund approximately 300 teaching positions and reduce class sizes. In the 2017-2018 school year, 158 of these positions were allocated to Beaverton’s elementary schools, 53 to middle schools, 70 to high schools, and 18 to options schools. The current levy pays for five full time teachers at Terra Linda.

This is a great opportunity to help out – minimal time commitment but BIG impact!

Opportunity #1: We are in need of someone to arrive at 7:50am on Passport check days to set out maps and stamps and quiz the 6 or 7 first graders who arrive before school begins. We have a team of 5th grade students who also help. It is quick, fun, and rewarding. You are out the door by 8:30am! (training provided)

Opportunity #2:  For those of you who like to plan ahead! We are in need of someone to help copy and collate maps and intro letters to students for the 2018/19 school year.  This person will assist Veronika Zeisset in early September. The time commitment is 2-3 hours.

Please contact Lori Miller or Amanda Englund if you would be interested in either of these opportunities or if we can provide you with more information. 

With the Olympics just around the corner, have fun with your kids locating all of the countries you see- especially during the parade of nations! Turn it into your own home/family competition and see if you can find the different countries before your children!

PTC Club and Event Happenings:

Congratulations to Ms. Schroeder’s First Grade Class!

Ms. Schroeder’s first grade class won the $100 prize for class participation at the Jog-A-Thon (kudos to Mrs. Kohl’s kindergarten class for tying)!

After winning, the class took a vote and conducted research to determine which animal would make the best class pet. Students brainstormed, researched online, and wrote letters to PetSmart to get answers to their questions.

After a review of all their information, students chose a Winter White Dwarf hamster and aptly named her Snowball. Students watched a video and read books on hamster care before preparing a formal class agreement to ensure Snowball is treated well.

Snowball has only been a Terra Linda Tiger for one week but she’s received a very warm and ecstatic welcome. Snowball has been a great lesson on motivation and reward, research, and responsibility!

THANK YOU to Ms. Schroeder, her students, and parents for working hard to raise money for our school!

Beaverton School District Clothes Closet

The BSD Clothes Closet is a volunteer service organization that provides free clothing for children, in need, in grades K-12, who reside in the District attendance area. It is staffed by Beaverton School District parent group volunteers. Students can find school-type clothing such as: jeans, t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, warm coats, socks and underwear.

We wanted to combine Terra Linda Movie Night with an opportunity to give back to our community. Please bring new socks and/or underwear and place them in the lobby bins at Movie Night. There’s currently a high demand for larger sizes that fit ages 13-18.

If you are unable to attend Movie Night but would like to donate, we will have a bin available for drop off in the school lobby, 1/22-1/31.

Family Movie Night

The Terra Linda PTC would like to invite you to a fun family movie night on Friday, Jan. 19th @ 6:30pm

Entrance is FREE and put on by the PTC.  

If you’d like to donate to the BSD Clothes Closet, bring new socks and/or underwear and place them in the lobby bins at Movie Night.

Concessions will be available and $1 raffle tickets will be sold to win some amazing Lego sets!!

PLEASE NOTE:

All children will be admitted with a supervising adult present.  Please do not drop off children as we are not providing supervision. Parent/Guardian and/or responsible adult must remain at Terra Linda for the duration of the event and supervise the children they bring.

This movie is rated PG. We’d like to provide you with a movie review to determine if this would be a good movie for your child.

Subway – Dining for Dollars

Our next Dining for Dollars event is Thursday, January 25th from 4-8PM at TWO Subway locations:

  • 14740 NW Cornell Rd (by Kaady Car wash)
  • 455 NW Saltzman Rd (by Dairy Queen).

Just mention you are with Terra Linda when you order, and they will be donating a portion of the purchases back to our school!  They have been a generous community supporter of Terra Linda, and we are excited to partner with them for this event!

Student Directory

A parent volunteer has been working to create a secure (log in protected) online Student Directory.  We are excited to provide this resource to you!

If you would like to edit or opt out of sharing any personal information, please click on this link to opt out by February 1st.

In the coming month, you will receive an email with a log in protected link to access Terra Linda’s online student directory.

OBOBOregon Battle of the Books

OBOB will meet on January 19 after school in the library.  Parents can pick up in the library at 4:00.  Please remember to send a note to school so your child can attend the meeting.

This month we will focus entirely on practice battles.  Each team should send a parent volunteer on Friday to help manage battles.

The final meeting of the year will be held in February.  We are working to finalize this date as we need to confirm with several teachers that are volunteering their time for this event.

Running Club reached 763.25 miles in December.  Our January special token was a snowflake that we gave out in 50 degree weather!

The Winter Olympics are just around the corner- what a great opportunity to teach kids about the nations of the world! Help your students look beyond the games to learn about the homelands of the athletes and gain a deeper appreciation for where they come from.
