Mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 22nd, as we celebrate Unity Day!

Unity Day is the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month in the U.S. It is a day for our entire school community to come together to promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion for all students.

Our goal is simple: to send a visible message that we stand together against bullying and for a warm, welcoming, and safe school environment. 

We encourage all students and staff to wear and share the color orange on October 22nd! This bright color represents solidarity and support for students who have been bullied and for bullying prevention efforts everywhere.

Let's show our Charlemagne spirit and unite for kindness!

L'union fait la force,

Poppy

First, I just want to say thank you to the PTO for providing bottled water stations for our school this year! Grades K/3, 1/2 and 4/5 all have stations located near their classrooms. Please find more information here regarding the 4j School District's response to waterquality in our schools.

Second, as mentioned, the fencing/gate system has been completed. We are looking forward to further building improvements including a covered play area and updated equipment on the playground. Pending school board approval, both projects are slated to begin this summer and hopefully be completed by next Fall. Stay tuned for updates as we get nearer to this summer.

No School? No Problem! We have your upcoming No School days covered here at Kidsports. Kidsports is excited to offer PeaceHealth Play Days for kids when school is not in session. Your kids will get to spend the day having fun, being active, trying new sports & games, being creative and playing with friends.   We still have some space in our Oct 10th Camp!

Kidsports is the perfect place for your kids to spend time being active when school is not in session. Kids will experience an action-packed day of games, such as dodgeball, kickball or basketball, along with other activities like Silent Disco, Gaga ball, Chalk Art, Obstacle course, Pickleball, Yoga and much more. Kids should wear active clothing and gym shoes with non-marking soles and bring a water bottle, as well as a lunch/snacks that don’t need to be refrigerated or heated. No phones or smartwatches are allowed. Play Days are planned according to the Eugene School District 4J calendar. Spots are limited. Scholarships are available to those who qualify; please learn if your child qualifies prior to registering.

​Our Halloween Parade will start at 8:50 a.m. on Friday, October 31.

Parents are welcome to arrive at 8:35 and view the parade from the courtyard. For students who do not wish to participate in the parade we will have an alternate activity space available.

Below is a list of do's and please don't's that we hope will make the day enjoyable for everyone.

If students are going to wear a costume, they must wear it to school. Please include shoes that are appropriate for school. No heels, no slippers, and no flip-flops.

Students will not be permitted to change at school. Costumes should not interfere with the ability of a student to go to the bathroom by themselves.

Please note that students will still have recess and any other activities they regularly have on 

Friday. Please send them with a coat, proper shoes, etc. so that they can participate fully the rest of the school day.

Please limit makeup to whiskers, freckles, eye make up, etc. No full face paint or masks.

Costumes must not be too scary or inappropriate for the school environment.

Please no gory or grotesque costumes. No props are allowed: no swords, weapons, wands, etc.

Your student should not dress as another person’s race, religion or culture. A costume can be of a character or an individual who is of another race/religion/culture than your child, but not of a generalized race or ethnicity, religion or culture. Costumes should not be caricatures of any group.

Students will be asked to change clothes for inappropriate attire which might entail a call home.

If you are not sure about the appropriateness of a costume, please discuss with your teacher or the principal.

​

...and for being part of what makes Charlemagne a great place to learn and grow. Let’s make it a fantastic year! Joie de vivre!

Warmly,

Madame Poppy
