Welcome from your Liaisons

Welcome to Beth's 1-2 class!

I'd like to introduce you to your liaisons for the year-Juli Maus (mama to Eleni in 1st grade and Danica in preschool) and Marion Rice (mama to Griffin in 2nd grade).

We'll be your point people to coordinate class events, get TFT info to you and remind you of important happenings and volunteer opportunities. We are here to support Beth, our students and you. Our goal is to make this a fun filled year for our whole class community. We will do most of our communicating via emails and this blog, so please check back often.

We have put up sign up sheets for the following classroom volunteer positions:

Morning duty helper: We are looking for an 8 week commitment starting the week of September 28 through November 16. It involves getting to school a bit early and engaging with the kids in structured creative activities and building community with parents as kids arrive.

Math/Literacy and Reading Workshop helpers: Again we are hoping for an 8 week commitment starting the week of September 28 through November 16.

Please let us know if you are available and would like to help at least part of the time, but need to make some special arrangements.

Important upcoming events:

Tuesday, September 22 6:30-7:30 Back to School Info night. Bring your questions. Adults only please.

Halloween Potluck, October 30 4-7. Save the date. More info to follow.

We'd also like to put out a class roster with emails and phone numbers so as your children make friends, we can build our community through play dates and helping each other. Please contact us privately if you DO NOT want to be on the roster. If we do not hear from you, we will assume you consent. Rosters will be distributed on October 1.

Please feel free to contact, Juli at mausjuli@gmail.com or 503 735 3040 or Marion at marionrice@me.com or 503 708 0707 if you have any questions, concerns or would like to add to the classroom in anyway.


Thank you. We look forward to meeting you all and sharing the year with you.
