Ewing Young News

On Monday, September 14th and 15th, we are having our back-to-school mini-conferences with classroom teachers. These are important opportunities for our families and teachers to connect and talk about the upcoming school year.

Our first day of cohort meetings is Wednesday, September 16th. Please reference your class placement letter to know which cohort your child is scheduled to attend.

Kindergarten home visits are tentatively scheduled for Monday and Tuesday pending the smoke. If this changes because of unhealthy smoke levels we will communicate with you directly to reschedule.

Technology pick-up is scheduled for Monday, September 14th from 9 am - 11 am.

One of the changes across the state from last year's remote teaching to our comprehensive distinct learning model this year is daily attendance is required. Each teacher will be taking attendance during their live cohort session and will use this information for making follow-up attendance phone calls. If there is a reason that your child is going to miss their meeting please communicate that with your classroom teacher in advance.

Due to COVID 19 protocols, we are handling things differently in the office. You may call or email the school to get assistance during normal school hours (8am – 4pm) at 503-554-4750. If someone does not pick-up please leave a message and your phone call will be returned as soon as possible.

Karen Lang is officially joining the team as our school secretary this year!

Our new SLP will be working with some of our students.

Ms. Branner is working with Mr. Taylor this year as a student-teacher. So if your child is in 2nd grade you will be seeing her in your live lessons.

We welcome Stephanie Seet as our new school counselor this year. We are excited to have her join the team and begin to connect with our students and families!

It is important for us to help our students and families have the supplies they need at home. Through a partnership with our EYST parent group, we have established a resource room 2 years ago and want to make sure you are aware that this resource is still available. If you need school supplies or other items please call the main office for support.

We have good news that allows us to make sure more students get the food they need. On Monday, August 30, the USDA announced that we are able to operate the Summer Food Service Program until the end of December. This will allow any child age 1-18 to eat for free. We are going to continue with the delivery model that we have planned, and want to encourage everyone to take part in this. Deliveries will be on Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 am–1 pm.

Even though this means anyone who signs up will be able to eat for free, I want to encourage all of you to still fill out the free/reduced meal application. We do not know if we will be allowed to continue with the Summer Food Service Program in January. It would be good to have this on file with any direction we go. In addition, those who apply and qualify for free/reduced lunch receive other benefits, like discounted fees associated with classes, sports, and testing.

If you are signing up for the first time, use the Meal Delivery Sign Up link below. If you have already signed up for meal delivery and need to add children, please contact Naomi Adams at 503-554-4725. adams@newberg.k12.or.us

Please contact your school office, counselor or the nutrition department with any questions.
