Construction Project Impact
Drop off this morning was a great practice for the week ahead! We will update our community as the easement construction project progresses. Thank you to the volunteers who helped direct traffic and children this morning!

Reminders

1. Any families with Early Childhood students will come in the Gardner School exit, park, and walk their child all the way to the Imagination Playground for check in.  Same plan for pick up! 

2. Families with only K-6 students will drop off and pick up at Smith Root next door. If your child will be staying in After Care this week, please let Lisa Linderman know by emailing here.

Parent Conferences Starting Next Week
Check the classroom newsletters from your child's homeroom for a link to schedule parent conferences. We look foward to sharing about your child's progress! 
Update Contact Information
Action Needed!
Our Director of Business Operations, Sheila FitzPatrick, changed her email address recently. We have heard from some families that communication from her has been sent to spam folders by email providers. 

Please add sfitzpatrick@gardnerschool.org to your list of safe senders to avoid missing important financial aid and contract communication in the next week.

COVID-19 Updates

Is your child's immunization record updated with their Covid-19 vaccination?

We use this information for contact tracing and the state's system is backlogged, not always showing the most up to date results. If your child has recently received their first or second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, please let us know by emailing a photo of their vaccine card to health@gardnerschool.org, or by stopping by the front office to share it in person.

Learning in Action

Speaking and Performance Skills
Klickitat students are writing a play based on the style of the Ancient Greeks, and in practicing these lines, they are also strengthening their speaking and performance skills. Parents of our 5th and 6th graders will get to see the final play after students film it during an overnight field trip on the Gardner School campus next month. 

Save the Date!

The week of March 28th- April 1st will be full of opportunities for parents to see their students' learning. Stay tuned for class by class event dates coming soon!

Campus snapshots

We continuing to have exciting facilities work done on campus, and our Imagination Playground students were excited to see a series of wood slices left for them to use in play. Hands-on learning about the Lunar New Year, engineering challenges, and more kept our students active indoors, too.
