A message from the Principal…
Dear Ardenwald Families,
All Ardenwald staff are All-Stars. Each day they endeavor to create a positive learning environment for each student. Teachers, nurses, administrators, secretaries, instructional assistants, our social work intern, student teachers, our counselor, instructional coach, school psychologist, custodians, cooks, daycare staff, bus drivers – all play an essential role in the education and well-being of our students. In an effort to create a stronger community, we have combined all Staff Appreciation weeks this year. EVERY staff member of Ardenwald will be celebrated during the week of May 7-11.
As I walked about school today, I observed students eagerly engaged in our community and in learning. In the morning, our custodian, the cooks, and cafeteria staff provided breakfast in a clean and friendly environment. In the library, children were at the edge of their seats intensely listening to a story. In kindergarten, students were focused on listening to their classmate’s ideas. The courtyard was alive with activity with older students in a lunchtime conversation with their teacher. In a classroom, students were sitting in circles discussing different ways to solve a math problem. In another classroom, students were questioning the meaning of a story. In the field in front of the school recess supervisors and 3rd graders were playing an enthusiastic game of kickball. Teachers were having quiet hallway conversations to figure out how to support students. In the office, temperatures were taken, pick-up plans modified, and lunch money collected. At the end of the day, bus drivers warmly greeted each student. It sounded like and looked like the music and art of school. Normal sounds, normal sights that I was glad to see and hear. They are evidence of the combined effort of our entire staff. I hope you have an opportunity to celebrate our staff the week of May 7-11.
Have a wonderful May!
Best Regards,
Dr. Karon Webster, Principal

Querida familias de Ardenwald: Todo el personal de Ardenwald es “Estelar”. Todos los días se esfuerzan por crear un ambiente de aprendizaje positivo para cada alumno. Maestros, enfermeras, administradores, secretarias, asistentes de instrucción, nuestro aprendiz de trabajo social, maestros en práctica, nuestro consejera, instructor de instrucción, psicólogo escolar, conserjes, cocineros, personal de guarderías, conductores de autobuses, todos desempeñan un papel esencial en la educación y el bienestar de nuestros alumnos. En un esfuerzo por crear una comunidad más fuerte, este año hemos combinado todas las semanas de Apreciación de Personal. CADA miembro del personal de Ardenwald será celebrado durante la semana del 7 al 11 de mayo. Mientras caminaba por la escuela hoy, observé a los alumnos ansiosamente comprometidos con nuestra comunidad y con el aprendizaje. En la mañana, nuestro conserje, los cocineros y el personal de la cafetería brindaron el desayuno en un ambiente limpio y amigable. En la biblioteca, los niños estaban al borde de sus asientos escuchando intensamente una cuento. En kindergarten, los estudiantes se enfocaron en escuchar las ideas de sus compañeros de aula. El patio estaba lleno de actividad, los estudiantes mayores conversaban en la hora del almuerzo con sus maestros. En un aula, los estudiantes estaban sentados en un círculo discutiendo diferentes formas de resolver un problema matemático. En otra, los estudiantes tenían una discusion filosofica sobre la importancia de la historia. En la cancha frente a la escuela, los supervisores del recreo y los estudiantes de 3er grado estaban jugando un juego entusiasta de kickball. Los maestros tenían conversaciones tranquilas en los pasillo sobre cómo apoyar a los estudiantes de mejor manera. En la oficina, se tomaron temperaturas, se modificaron los planes de recogida y se recolectó el dinero del almuerzo. Al final del día, los conductores de autobuses saludaron calurosamente a cada alumno. Parecía la música y el arte de la escuela; sonidos normales, miradas normales que me alegré ver y escuchar. Es evidencia del esfuerzo en conjunto de todo nuestro personal. Espero que tengan la oportunidad de celebrar a nuestro personal la semana del 7 al 11 de Mayo. ¡Espero que tenga un Mayo maravilloso! Atentamente, Dr. Karon Webster, Directora

May 2018 Dear Parent or Guardian of student bus riders: Our goal each day is to transport all student bus riders safely to and from school. On Wednesday, June 13, all student bus stop information from this year will be saved for the 2018-19 school year. This is consistent with what we did last year. For the 2018-19 school year we are only accepting online Transportation Requests. Links can be found on each school’s website under the Parent menu and also on the Transportation Department’s website located under the Transportation Requests by School form link. A new request must be completed and turned in for processing by Friday August 17, 2018 . This is necessary ONLY if your student:
● Is new to the District ● Moved to a new residence ● Needs a different alternate stop
Only one alternate address within the school’s attendance area is accepted . If you need assistance filling out the online request please visit your school office. A few reminders when filling out the request online:
● Complete all required areas, as indicated by a red asterisk ● Enter school name/current address/and student information ● Enter alternate address ● Indicate AM (before school), PM (after school), or Both ● Indicate which days of the week ● Electronically sign and submit the form as soon as possible. Initial routes will be established
August 2, 2018. These may change and updates will be posted accordingly. Routes will be finalized for school start up on Friday August 17, 2018 .
● Transportation requests received after August 17th will be processed 3 weeks after the 1st day of school. Until that time, students may use an existing nearby stop.
We want to make sure the school has the correct address where your child will be picked up and dropped off on the first day of school. If you have questions about bus service or the online Transportation Request please contact your school office or our Transportation Department at 503.353.6150. Respectfully, Ryan Hahn Director of Transportation
