SMART (Start Making A Reader Today) is an early literacy nonprofit that envisions an Oregon in which every child can read and is empowered to succeed. We engage community volunteers to help 1st-3rd grade children become confident readers by providing one-on-one literacy support, valuable adult mentorship, and books to take home and keep. Our SMART (Start Making A Reader Today) program runs on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:00-1:00 pm, and 1:00-2:00 pm. We could also use a few more volunteers to read one-on-one with students, help them discover the joy of reading and choose books to take home and keep. Volunteer for one hour per week from NOW through mid-May! If you are interested in signing up to volunteer, or to learn more about SMART, visit www.getSMARToregon.org or call 971-634-1616. Sunnyside Volunteers! While spring is approaching, this is a good time to check in with all of you to make sure you have completed all the necessary paperwork so that you are ready to volunteer in classrooms, on field trips, or at “Family Fun Night”. The good news is, the majority of you are all up to date. Thank you. However, for some of you there are still a few things that need to be taken care of. Remember, to go on ANY field trip, you MUST have a background check on file with us and the District. This is a District-wide requirement and there can be no exceptions. Since these checks are done at the district level, they take at least a week to complete; so the sooner you get this taken care of, the better. Last minutes checks cannot be completed in time. Please note that the background checks are good for three years, while the volunteer orientation is good for your entire time in our building. Feel free to contact me to check on your status so we can make sure that you are ready to volunteer. Volunteer orientation will be held before each PTA meeting at 6:15 pm or 3:15 pm. These are short meetings and will not take much of your time at all. Again, I can let you know if you have not attended one yet. Thanks to all of you volunteers who have worked so very hard helping our school this year. In big ways and in small ones, any help given to a teacher, a student or a staff member is appreciated. Please watch for emails to come for help that will be needed during Family Fun Night. If you are not getting emails from me, please check your spam folder. If we do not have enough people to help run games, etc., we have fewer activities and longer lines. If everyone pitches in for just a short session, we can ALL enjoy the fun! Thanks to all of our fabulous Sunnyside volunteers!! Jen Lindeman, Sunnyside Volunteer Coordinator Sunnysidevolunteers@gmail.com Have A Great Picture to Share? The yearbook committee is seeking candid pictures...the first day of school, field trips, etc. Pictures may be submitted electronically by emailing them to SunnysidePTA@gmail.com, or you can drop them off at the school office at any time. Pictures will be accepted through the month of March. Remember, we will not be able to return pictures to you once submitted. TAG Referral Period Forms are now available in the school office to request evaluation for the TAG program. Talk to your child’s teacher if you would like further information. Completed forms are due by February 29th. Dual Language Immersion Program Tours and Information Meetings The goal of the North Clackamas School District Dual Language Immersion Programs is to increase the academic achievement of English Learners while promoting multilingualism and affirming the diverse identities, languages, races and cultural heritages of students and families in the North Clackamas community.
