At 8:30 the front doors open and students can go to their lockers and to class. They should be in class by 8:45. The school day ends at 3:15. Unless your student is in a supervised activity, they should be leaving campus at that time. </span></div>

We really need to have some committee roles filled for this event to be successful. Please consider one of the following as outlined from Sabrina </span><span style="border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Arts Fair Committee Jobs</span><br /><span style="border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 400; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">that still need to be filled as of 10/17/19</span></div>

Help set up the SUG. Just make changes as needed from last year’s SUG. Monitor SUG and make sure we get enough volunteers. Set up a manual sign up sheet during conferences and transfer those sign-ups to the SUG. Must be mostly available Dec. 6th for AF setup and also all day during the AF. </span></li>

Violet, one of last year’s cafe managers, is still helping out but we need more help. This job requires a food handlers permit, which we will pay for, and requires you to do a short test on-line. You will help acquire donations of food and beverage, prepare shopping lists, shop for whatever is needed, prep food both Dec. 6 and 7 and also be there all day on the 7th to run the cafe. Splitting up the duties of this job makes it much more </span><span style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: -14pt; vertical-align: baseline;">manageable</span><span style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: -14pt; vertical-align: baseline;">. </span></span></li>

You get a walkie-talkie. We need one person in Gym and one person in Cafeteria (would also love to have one person for gallery area). You need to be available Dec. 6 and 7th all day. We can get you in the loop right away so you know how we do things at the AF, from set-up to tear down. </span></li>

We need someone to set up our budget so we know how much we spent vs. how much we bring in. We also have a Square App system to keep track of inventory which makes it a lot easier. We have a google sheet from last year you can see...it needs help!</span></li>

You can ask neighbors, friends and family to support the run with a set amount or a per lap pledge. Use the paper pledge form that came home this week or set up an online page that can be easily shared via email or social media. Families are encouraged to join us on run day to cheer on the runners and mark laps. The run will take place from 2:30 to 3 pm.

You can ask neighbors, friends and family to support the run with a set amount or a per lap pledge. Use the paper pledge form that came home this week or set up an online page that can be easily shared via email or social media. Families are encouraged to join us on run day to cheer on the runners and mark laps. The run will take place from 2:30 to 3 pm. A sign up for volunteers will come out soon.

Once students leave school grounds during a school day, we cannot ensure their location or safety and we do not have staff that will follow them. We also do not have the capacity to notify every family when students leave the building. If a student is marked absent and it has not been arranged in advance, you will receive the standard automated call. If you plan to meet your student and sign them out, arrange in advance to meet them at a certain time in the office to do so. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is the 2nd annual middle school conference on race. This year's conference has 4 workshops including an arts integration component and an art piece for each school to install back at their own school. The conference is a day in a half. The eight schools participating are (in alphabetical order): Beverly Cleary, Beaumont, Da vinci, Harriet Tubman, Laurelhurst, Faubion, Ockley Green, and Vernon. Funding for this conference is based on a grant from Teaching Tolerance, funds from PPS equity department, and left over funds from last year's donations. We've asked for $9,500 for the grant, $2500 from the equity department, and $500 left over from last year. If you would like to help keep this conference going strong each year, please consider giving a small donation to help the larger cause. The donations are used to help offset cost associated with lunch, substitutes, snacks, transportation, workshop presenter stipend, printing, artist, art materials, badges, journals, wristbands, high school training, location fee. We will hear whether the grant is approved by February 1st. If it is not approved, the conference will go on, however, it will lack all the bells and whistles such as lunch, arts integration, and some supplies. It will remain free to students. Any donation, no matter how small is helpful. Thank you for consideration and time, I know how often requests and donations are asked of families. Click on above link to donate online or you can send a check made out to Beverly Cleary School reference "Raise Our Voices" conference mail to: Beverly Cleary School, Attn: Rosanne Malmstrom, 1915 NE 33rd, 97212. Please do not hesitate to contact lkobs@pps.net with any questions. </span></div>

The Signup is live. Students do generally attend conferences with the parent/guardian. Teachers meet with year-long students only. If your student is taking term explore classes, please do not sign up for those teachers. There
are two locations for Dance conferences and between the three teachers, they
will cover the appointments. You cannot sign up with a specific dance teacher
so just find a time that works on either the “Gym” or “Dance Office” tab. Part-time
teachers are only at school for part of the times, proportionate to their FTE.
Ms. Young and Ms. O’Leary will only be available on Monday, the 19th. Make sure
you are in the correct teacher’s tab and note the date and time you are signing
up for. If your plans change, be sure to delete your time so another person has
a chance to take the slot. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f45a5a82faaff2-msaccuardi" previewremoved="true" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Conference Sign Up. </span></span></a></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

The Signup is now live and filling fast. Students do generally attend
conferences with the parent/guardian. Teachers meet with year-long students
only. If your student is taking term explore classes, please do not sign up for
those teachers. There are two locations for Dance conferences and between the
three teachers, they will cover the appointments. You cannot sign up with a
specific dance teacher so just find a time that works on either the “Gym” or
“Dance Office” tab. Part-time teachers are only at school for part of the
times, proportionate to their FTE. Ms. Young will only be available on Monday,
the 19th. Make sure you are in the correct teacher’s tab and note the date and
time you are signing up for. If your plans change, be sure to delete your time
so another person has a chance to take the slot. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f45a5a82faaff2-msaccuardi" previewremoved="true" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Conference Sign Up. </span></span></a></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Suggest or help them to clean out their binders and get organized for a new
