Orca Updates 9/26/26

Happy Saturday, Orca Learning Community!


After a wacky start to the week (Monday arrival unplanned fire drill!), we have come to a close. This week held lots of learning in classrooms, beginning our grade-level Reading Groups, students completing their iReady assessments, and our first rainy day recesses on Friday.


Nearly every day, each grade level has a dedicated reading group time when students receive small group instruction based on their reading needs. Some groups focus on strengthening phonics skills, while others explore novels that build on students’ interests. Our Armin Jahr literacy specialists work alongside teachers and paraeducators to provide materials and support so every student can grow in their love (and skills) of literacy!


At our Orca Family Friday Assembly this week, we presented an "Outstanding Orca" award to one of our 4th grade students. During lunch this week, he noticed that a friend needed help and quickly jumped into action! His awareness and quick action helped staff respond right away. We’re proud of the care he showed supporting his peer and helping his friend!


Shout out to our PTO for our first Popcorn Friday! Campus smelled delicious :)


Upcoming dates to remember:

October 7: Chipotle Takeover Night

October 12: Indigenous People's Day (no school)

October 15: Picture Day

October 23: Rising School Assembly (details to come)

October 29: Fall Festival andTrunk or Treat

October 30: NO SCHOOL

¡Feliz sábado, comunidad de aprendizaje Orca!


Después de un comienzo de semana un poco inesperado (¡la alarma de incendios durante la llegada del lunes!), llegamos al final de otra semana escolar. Hubo mucho aprendizaje en las aulas: comenzamos nuestros grupos de lectura por grado, los estudiantes siguieron completando sus evaluaciones i-Ready y el viernes tuvimos nuestros primeros recreos bajo techo por la lluvia.


Casi todos los días, cada grado tiene un tiempo dedicado a los grupos de lectura, en los que los estudiantes reciben enseñanza en grupos pequeños según sus necesidades. Algunos grupos se enfocan en fortalecer las habilidades de fonética, mientras que otros exploran novelas relacionadas con los intereses de los estudiantes. Nuestros especialistas en lectoescritura de Armin Jahr trabajan junto con los maestros y paraeducadores para proporcionar materiales y apoyo, ¡y ayudar a cada estudiante a desarrollar su amor por la lectura y sus habilidades!


En nuestra asamblea Orca Family Friday de esta semana, entregamos el reconocimiento “Orca Destacado” a un estudiante de cuarto grado. Durante el almuerzo, se dio cuenta de que un amigo necesitaba ayuda y actuó de inmediato. Gracias a que estuvo atento y reaccionó rápidamente, el personal pudo responder enseguida. ¡Estamos orgullosos del cariño que demostró al ayudar a su compañero!


¡Muchas gracias a nuestra PTO por nuestro primer viernes de palomitas! El campus olía delicioso :)


Próximas fechas para recordar:

7 de octubre: Noche de recaudación de fondos en Chipotle

12 de octubre: Día de los Pueblos Indígenas (no hay clases)

15 de octubre: Día de fotografías escolares

23 de octubre: Asamblea Rising School (pronto compartiremos más detalles)

Daily Attendance Matters

September is Attendance Awareness Month! Being at school consistently helps students keep up with learning, build friendships, and feel connected to our Orca community. Even a few missed days each month can add up to missed lessons and routines. In Washington, regular attendance means missing fewer than two days of school per month on average, including excused absences. If attendance is a challenge for your family, please reach out to our office, we’re here to help!


¡Septiembre es el Mes de Concientización sobre la Asistencia Escolar! Asistir a la escuela con regularidad ayuda a los estudiantes a seguir aprendiendo, hacer amistades y sentirse parte de nuestra comunidad Orca. Incluso unos pocos días de ausencia cada mes pueden significar perderse lecciones y rutinas importantes. En Washington, asistir regularmente significa faltar a la escuela menos de dos días al mes en promedio, incluidas las ausencias justificadas. Si la asistencia es un desafío para su familia, comuníquese con nuestra oficina. ¡Estamos aquí para ayudarles!
