December News

Touchstone Families,

December is such wonderful month at Touchstone.  Our school is rich in diversity and the winter months are a great time to celebrate all of our traditions.

The winter months are also a great time to give back to our local community.  I am happy to report Pre-K2 classroom contributed the most to Touchstone’s Can Food Drive, with a total of over 270 food items.  As a school, we donated over 700 food items to the Oregon Food Bank.

Between now and Dec.12, we will be collecting toys for local children in need.  Please bring a new and  unwrapped toy to school and place it under our tree, by Dec. 12th.  Our PreK and Kindergarten classrooms will be walking to the toys to Les Schwab.  Our donations will help support the FOX 12 and Les Schwab Toy Drive.

On the last day before winter camp, Friday December 19th, we will be hosting a “Wear Pajamas, Bring Pajamas” event. Students may wear pajamas to school with a pajama donation for a local child in need.  Pajamas can be new or gently used.


Winter Camp:

Winter Camp is quickly approaching.  It is important to note school is not offered from Dec.22-Jan.2.  School resumes Monday, January 5, 2015.  Touchstone does offer winter camp on the following dates: Dec. 22, 23, 26, 29, 30, and Jan. 2. There is no camp or school offered Dec. 24 & 25 or Dec. 31 & Jan. 1.

If you would like to attend Winter Camp, please sign up on the sheet outside your child’s classroom door.  Camp hours and cost will also be posted.  As always, see the front desk with any questions.


Winter Weather:

Winter weather is always fun to predict.  So many factors go into deciding to delaying or closing school; weather, driving conditions, future weather forecasts, to name a few…  The safety of our families, students, and staff are always of the utmost concern.

When the weather is causing issues families can first turn to the news.  Tune into the weather report and get answers to, “What is the weather doing/ predicted to do?”  This will give you a good indication if things could get called at the last minute.  We tend to follow the Beaverton Public School District, but not always.

Our school website will also have the most up-to-date news, in regards to our school closing/delaying.  Information can be posted to the website immediately.  So please visit, www.beavertontouchstone.com, for the most up-to-date school closure/delay information.  We will always try to give you as much notice as possible.
