Beth Breiten will be handling any immediate issues and will be in contact with me daily while I’m away. I have full confidence in our MRA Staff in their ability to keep things running smoothly and unhindered. I will have access to email and will do my best to reply in a timely manner while I’m gone. If you have a Cedars student who will require a conference this week, we will conduct those when I return. Cedars Homework Club Homework Club will no longer be assigned to our Cedars. Mrs. D and Ms. Carrie are both now available to support students with homework and/or struggles in class Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays after school and at lunch. They would like students to sign up the day before for the afternoon times. If your student needs help, or would like to stay after school to complete homework, please have them sign up with either teacher. Our Vision Is: Successful graduates with the knowledge and confidence to pursue their dreams and enrich the community. Intent to Return Forms Intent to return forms are attached to this memo and are available on our website. These must be filled out in order to keep your children’s spaces at MRA for next year. The public lottery is April 7th and any unclaimed spots will go into the lottery. Please return your completed form to Jaylene in the office no later than April 1st. Thanks. Student Immunizations It is quickly approaching the time of year when we have to report incomplete immunizations to the state. As a reminder, all 7th graders should have updated TDAP shots this year. Reminder letters have been sent home. Please feel free to call the MRA office if you have any questions. MRA Dance MRA Family Fun Night is on February 13th. If you would like to help, please email Jaylene Slinger at jslinger@mra-k8.com. You can run an activity, bring supplies, help with set up/take down etc. Thank you all and I hope to see you there! Jaylene Slinger MRA Cardiac Caper 5K Fun Run Our second 5K Fun run of the year is taking place this Thursday, February 12th, from 3:15 to 4:15. Everyone is welcome. $5.00 gets you into the run and allows you to get a heart charm and a certificate of completion! Bring your friends and family and join us. Sign up forms are attached to this memo. Auction 2015—Roaring Twenties—Location Changed to Clackamas County Fair Grounds The next auction meeting will be at Legends (formerly known as Arrowhead) on Monday, February 22nd at 6:30 p.m. If you have questions feel free to email Ann Breiten at amb000amb@aol.com and Susie McAbee at susiemcabee2013@gmail.com. If you have procurement questions please email us at auction@mra-k8.com. Auction Procurement: Hard copies of procurement letters and donation receipts have home with each student. The letters can be given to any business, potential donor, or attendee. The receipt is in duplicate and includes our tax ID number. If you get a donation, or have a service or item you want to donate, please fill out the receipt and bring one copy back to Jaylene in the office. Every family is expected to procure at least one donation. If you are able to help procure more than one item and have some time to make phone calls or send out a few emails, please stop by the auction procurement table and pick up a list of donors to contact. Much of procuring truly is as simple as emailing or making a phone call. We will have a scrip for you to follow. All auction information is also currently available as a download off the front page of our website, and is attached to this memo. Thank you all for your support in this very important fundraiser. Our goal this year is $25,000.00 in profit. Scrip Orders We will be taking scrip orders every Monday this month. Please see the attached flyer and order form! We do appreciate your purchasing scrip. We can raise a considerable amount of money through this program without costing you anything. Check it out if you haven’t yet. Report Cards—this information is also posted on my blog at: http://www.molallariveracademy.com/blog_1.php Hopefully all of you have successfully gone into Jupiter and found your student’s report cards. As a reminder, the grading system we use at MRA is not the same as the A, B, C system of more traditional schools. We assess students on skills in various areas, and score them based on whether or not the student has mastered the skill. Some skills are taught all year long, such as most of the writing and reading, and some are by unit, such as several of the thematic (science and humanities) skills. The rating is as follows: 1—Beginning, the student is just at the starting stage of getting the skill 2– Emerging, the student is making progress 3—Proficient, the student has mastered the skill 4—Exemplary, the student has it mastered and is able to apply the skill in a variety of ways and on a deeper thinking level We do not expect students to get 3’s and 4’s on skills that are taught all year long for this first report card . A 2 means that they are on track, and if the teacher doesn’t see that the student is continuing to make progress and is headed toward a 3 or a 4 by June, you will be notified. We do, however, want students to have mostly 3’s and 4’s on skills that are taught only in a single unit. If you aren’t clear and have questions about how to read your child’s report card, please make sure to talk to their teacher. Homework—Cedars Parents First, many thanks to all of the Cedars parents for your support this week as we implemented the new homework policy. It has already made a difference. I do want to be clear that although a phone call home is not a pleasant experience, the ultimate goal is not to punish our students. The goal is to get parents, students and teachers on top of any homework issues early, and to schedule conferences after 3 missing assignments in a five day period in order to determine why the student is struggling with getting it done. The issue may be their planner, it may be a communication problem, it may be a lack of understanding, etc. Our bottom line goal in these consequences is to make sure we have a clear line of communication to help your student be successful in all aspects of their education.

Cheese Pepperoni Hawaiian Arts & Science Charter serving Kindergarten through 8th Grade Support Our 6th Annual Fundraising Auction Molalla River Academy is an Arts and Science themed charter school in its 6th year of existence. The school strives to provide students with an exceptional and unique educational experience. MRA offers specialized teaching with an emphasis on the Arts and Sciences, and high standards for academic achievement. The school reached its first charter renewal milestone in the spring of 2012. The school has an enrollment of nearly 200 students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. On April 18th of 2015, we will hold our 6th annual auction, The Roaring Twenties, at Clackamas County Fair Grounds in Canby, Oregon. We would like to count on your support this year in order for the event to be a success. The mission of Molalla River Academy is to guide students in becoming responsible lifelong learners and compassionate community members through interdisciplinary studies in the arts and sciences within a safe and nurturing environment. Ways You Can Help Sponsorship: Participate in our Corporate Program Gift Certificate: Donations for services or products Product Donations: We appreciate any product donation Time Donations: Time donations are always received with enthusiasm and are a wonderful way to give to our children and parents (yard work, fishing trip, handyman, holiday helper, tutoring, etc.) Advertising: Advertise in our auction catalog Attend the auction Just as we challenge our students to grow through the academic stages, we need to continue to challenge each other to support this excellent educational opportunity. Charter schools are public schools, but they receive roughly 20% less funding than their public counterparts. The school makes up the other 20% through corporate donations, grants, and various fundraising activities. Without the funds gained through our auction, MRA would be highly challenged to offer the quality experiences that the children deserve. We hope that you will visit our website at http://molallariveracademy.com to learn more about the school and how it offers a unique learning environment. With your support, we can continue to offer this excellent educational opportunity. Thank You! ‐Molalla River Academy Auction Committee 16897 S.
