As we step into a new semester and feel the first hints of Spring, it’s the perfect time for a fresh start. This season is all about growth, both in the garden and in the classroom.
Speaking of which, our Community Garden has now been cleared and our Dandelions and Sunflower Club, led by our very own Lilly Groff, are looking forward to digging in this Spring. We are so excited to see our students embrace new challenges and bloom throughout the coming months.
Let’s make this second half of the year our best one yet!
Alors que nous entamons un nouveau semestre et que nous ressentons les prémices du printemps, c'est le moment idéal pour un nouveau départ. Cette saison est placée sous le signe de la croissance, tant au jardin qu'en classe.
À ce propos, notre jardin communautaire a été nettoyé et notre club « Pissenlits et Tournesols », dirigé par Lilly Groff, a hâte de mettre la main à la pâte ce printemps. Nous sommes ravis de voir nos élèves relever de nouveaux défis et s'épanouir au fil des mois à venir.
Faisons de cette seconde moitié d'année la meilleure qui soit ! |

Join us on February 20th from 5:30–8:00 PM for our annual Carnaval, one of the most fun and memorable nights of the year! Families can enjoy games, face painting, a Treat Trot, photo booth, book sale, and a new addition this year- food trucks!
We can’t make this amazing night happen without our community’s help. You can contribute by donating gently used, kid-friendly books, store-bought treats (allergen-free treats are especially appreciated!), or small items for your class raffle basket—each class has a theme, and your class reps can guide you. There are also many ways to volunteer before and during the event, such as making signs, calling for donations, selling tickets, assembling raffle baskets, serving King Cake, and helping keep the event fun and safe for all.
Carnaval is a special way our school comes together to celebrate, build community, and make great memories—we hope you’ll join the fun and help make it a huge success!

Some of you may not be aware that the easiest and fastest way to let us know that your student will be absent is to call the 24/7 attendance line at 541-790-7092. Follow the prompts to leave us your student's name, reason for absence, and a number to call if we have questions. I check this hotline regularly throughout the day.
Thanks! Mme Eliza |

At Charlemagne, we are dedicated to supporting your child’s emotional well-being and academic success. To ensure our school counseling program is meeting the needs of our students and families, we need your perspective!
We invite you to complete a brief Parent & Guardian Survey. Your feedback is invaluable—it helps us identify the topics that matter most to you, from stress management and friendship skills to college and career planning.
Please complete the survey here. Merci beaucoup!

Flu season is upon us, and we have had a growing number of students out sick from school. While attendance is certainly important, our biggest concern is that students are safe and healthy while at school. Here are some reminders and guidelines for what to do when your child is sick:
DO NOT send your child to school until they have been fever-free (under 100 degrees) for 24 hours without any fever-reducing medication (e.g., Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil). Aspirin should not be given for fever due to viruses in order to prevent a complication called Reye’s syndrome. In general, if your child has a cough lasting 7 days, seek medical care.
Please keep your child home if you see any of these signs: - Fever greater than 100.0° F
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Stiff neck or headache with fever
- Any rash with or without fever
- Unusual behavior change, such as irritability and/or lethargy
- Jaundice (yellow coloring of skin or eyes)
- Skin lesions that are “weepy” (fluid or pus-filled)
- Colored drainage from eyes
- Brown/green drainage from nose with fever
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath; serious, sustained cough
Your child should not return to school until 24 hours after their last episode of fever, vomiting or diarrhea. If possible, consider keeping your student home for an extra day to fully recover. If your student has a chronic condition that is impacting attendance, please contact your school nurse. Simple measures can often stop the spread of common illnesses, including: - Repeated Cleaning: Clean frequently touched surfaces (doorknobs, changing tables, toys, equipment, etc.) using a bleach/water solution (1/2 cup bleach to 1 gallon water)
- Handwashing: Wash hands frequently, especially after diaper changes, toilet use, and prior to eating.
- Vaccination: Flu vaccines are available and can be effective in preventing or decreasing the severity of illness
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Lane County Health Department Communicable Disease Control Program at 541-682-4041. |
