The Llewellyn Friday Flyer

This has been such a fun week! There was reading happening EVERYWHERE! (I'm not kidding!)

Thank you to everyone for coming to last night's READING NIGHT! I hope you and your young readers enjoyed our Guest Readers: Dillon T. Pickle, Ms. Gilkey, Science Erin, Principal Pam, and authors Michelle Sumovich and Rose Collins. So many good books to share and giveaways on top of that! Thank you to our PTA members Melissa Federspiel, Iniray Luper, Lindsay Lopez, for organizing this special event!

Speaking of reading....today's Llewellyn Reads was so incredibly fun! Students lined the hallways, some with their reading buddies, and arm loads of books and read for 30 minutes. The smiles, giggles, and snacking on popcorn made this an especially wonderful community event!

Raffle Winners were announced today. Our Principal for a Day will be Deacon Bumgarner (Prelosky) and the Librarian for a Day will be Edi Cass (Schneider).

Check out the Readometer...We've reached our school goal of 100,000 minutes and then some!

Congratulations and thank you for all you did to support this wonderful event!

(Reminder) Please look for your child's report card to come home with them on Monday, February 5th.

Warmly,

Principal Pam

A little color theory to make the winter less dreary! First graders learn about warm and cool colors while creating spectacular, squishy folded prints; fifth graders practice mixing skills using tints, tones and shades in their custom color wheels.

Every Friday will be a School Spirit Day. Students and staff are encouraged to wear their Llewellyn gear new or old. One Friday per month will be a fun theme. On 2/23 it will be Pattern Day!

Wear your favorite patterns and show your school spirit!

PPS is required to ensure that all students are up to date on all school-required immunizations, or have a signed medical exemption letter signed by a licensed physician or a non-medical exemption, by Wednesday, February 21, 2024 (“Exclusion Day”). Immunizations are required by state law for children and students in attendance at public and private schools, preschools, childcare facilities and Head Start programs in Oregon.

On February 7th, the Multnomah County Health Department (MCHD) will mail a notification letter to all students who are due to receive one or more required vaccinations or who do not have a record of immunization. Students who do not have all their school-required vaccines or a qualifying exemption by Exclusion Day will not be allowed to attend school until their immunizations are up-to-date.

What to do if you get a letter

1. Call your school if you have already provided your child’s immunization record to the school and verify whether the school has a copy on file.

2. If your student needs updated vaccinations, get your child immunized right away. You can schedule an appointment with your child’s regular health care provider, or with:

• One of the MCHD Student Health Centers. Benson High School students can call the Benson Wellness Center (OHSU).

• The MCHD Immunization Clinic at 619 NW 6th Avenue, Room 150, Portland, OR. This Clinic occurs every Tuesday and Thursday 9am - 4pm, and Friday 10am - 5pm. Call 503-988-4724 for an appointment.

1. Bring to your child’s appointment the Certificate of Immunization Status Form that was included with the letter you received from MCHD. This Form will let the provider know what vaccinations your student still needs. If you misplace the CIS Form you received in the mail, you can request another copy from your child’s school).

2. Once your student has received their required vaccines, sign the completed immunization form and turn it in to your child’s school.

Thank you for keeping your student and their classmates safe, in school, and ready to learn!

PPS is seeking input from students, teachers, school staff, and community members about how to build a long-range plan to lower carbon emissions in our district. The question we want help answering is: “How can PPS most effectively implement GHG emissions reduction measures to give us the best chance of meeting our emissions goals, given financial, industry, and facility constraints, while considering historic inequities in the distribution of resources across PPS?” See dates and details for more information and how to provide input.
