School Report
Ms. Prats reported that we currently have 506 students. Our school received a .5 FTE to help out with the blend classrooms. Mr. Tobias is still at OHSU after suffering an aneurism just before school began. He is scheduled for surgery this Thursday and is in all of our thoughts and prayers. Rachel Parks was hired to help while Mr. Tobias is out, she is a well respected teacher who has substituted for our school before and we welcome her to Sumpter during this time. The Parent Handbook that was in the 1st day packets to students is a new addition and she is hoping we as parents find it informative. She also handed out copies of the district strategic plan. One thing about parking at our school, if people would please not park on Rockwood across from the main driveway of the school as it makes the street too tight for traffic to flow and buses are having a hard time making it through the tight squeeze. Thank you for not parking on the red zones in the parking lot. She did ask that if any parent is feeling their child is having a problem to please address it with the teacher as soon as possible so the situation can be rectified.
Other Business
We are in search of a new secretary for Parent Club. This position would take minute notes at the monthly meeting and prepare them to be sent out via email. If you are interested in this position please contact us via email.
If anyone is interested in helping with the yearbook please contact Patrick Hurley.
