Online Book Fair: May 12th-25th

Spring is a busy time of year with field trips and fundraisers here at Sauvie Island School. In order to bring the spring book fair to our families with no disruption to library classes, we are hosting an online fair. Some benefits of the online fair are:

• Being able to shop along with your child in the comfort of your home.

• Larger selection (3000+ products!) than in-person book fairs.

• No long checkout lines!

• 25% of all purchases going directly to the SIS library to provide current fiction and non-fiction titles to all students.

• Free shipping on book-only orders of $25 or more.

You can explore the book fair flyer here and shop using our exclusive online link starting May 12th: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/sauvieislandschool

Attention all SIS Parents and Guardians,

Please be aware that Sauvie Island School has a transportation agreement with the Scappoose School District, which permits us to share the Middle School parking lots as our transportation hub in the AM and PM.

Sauvie Island School has committed that all of our parents and guardians who drop off or pick up their students at the middle school bus hub will drive slowly, park in a designated parking spot, and walk with their student(s) through the parking lot. We can not have students going through the parking lot unattended. This is extremely dangerous.

All children must be closely supervised at all times when on school district property. Children cannot be left unattended in vehicles, on the tennis court, or in the grass field area.

Our parents and guardians must also abide by all rules and expectations of the transportation agreement for it to continue. Any parents and guardians who do not abide by all rules and expectations will no longer be able to utilize the bus hub. Please remember this agreement is to ensure the safety of all students.

We appreciate your help in ensuring that we meet all of the expectations in the agreement with the school district!

Hello Volunteer Community!  Would you like to know how to support the students, teachers and staff at Sauvie Island School?  Below are the current and ongoing volunteer needs:  

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week 5/5-5/9:  We invite you to help us celebrate our wonderful staff by signing up to contribute a food item.  Please see the sign up sheet here for more details. 

Annual SIS Auction:  Support ranges from asking for donations and sponsorships to helping with planning the event. 

Please email ptcauction@sauvieislandschool.org if you are interested in being involved in this important event. 

Auction Weekend Setup/Cleanup:  Many hands are needed to help with setting up the auction and cleaning up after the event.  If you are available and would like to lend a hand during Auction Weekend, 5/16-5/18, please see the sign up for details.  

Silent Auction Desserts Needed:  Calling all bakers!! Desserts are needed for the Silent Auction Dessert portion. Please sign up here if you are able to make a delicious dessert to contribute to this year's auction. Details are included in the sign up.   

Ongoing volunteer opportunities can be found in the newsletter and on the SIS and SIS PTC Facebook pages!  Check them frequently to stay up to date on any volunteer needs we may have.

A reminder that all volunteers need to have an up to date background check on file with the school office.  Please reach out if you are unsure if yours is up to date and we can verify for you.  These need to be renewed every two years.  As always, feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns or if you would like to be added to the email list for ongoing volunteer opportunities at volunteers@sauvieislandschool.org.

Best,

Kelli Magnia and Mashell Pastorino

This link provides information on those assessments and participation options (Spanish translation available here).
