Turn-Around Student of the Year
Congratulations to 8th grader, Tiffanie Eaton. Tiffanie is Judson’s Turn-Around Student of the Year Award winner for the
2014-2015 school year. Since arriving at Judson as a sixth
grader, Tiffanie’s attitude and work ethic has made a 180degree change in every way. Her fantastic attitude towards
staff, her peers and completion of her school work has made her
deserving of this award. Tiffanie will join students from other
schools who were also chosen by their teachers for the TurnAround Award, at an awards ceremony on May 12th.
Take Your Child to Work Day
National “Take Your Child to Work Day” is Thursday, April
23rd. If this is an event your student will be participating in, we
ask that you send written permission with your student to take
to the Attendance Office BEFORE April 23rd in order for the
absence to be excused.
Normally, your student would need to be in attendance for a full
school day to take part in after-school events. However, for this
one day, they will be able to miss school and still participate if
the absence has been excused prior to April 23rd. Students
who have not been excused prior to April 23rd, will not be
able to participate in after-school activities and/or events.
Please feel free to contact the Judson office if you have any
questions.
All students choosing to participate in TYCTWD are NOT
eligible for the Perfect Attendance Award given at the end
of the year.

How can I help my child progress on his or her career path?
9) Supporting career-related learning
Meaningful and effective education prepares students for academic success AND for life. Thus, schools in Oregon are
required to deliver career and life role education as part of their curriculum. Career and life role education helps prepare
your children for the six roles of adulthood - that of the individual, the learner, the producer, the consumer, the family
member, and the citizen. It helps your children connect the personal side of their lives to their education and their future.
They learn to live, learn to learn, and learn to work.
Career-related learning spans a wide array of formal learning activities and projects. Your children may take part in a
career day or an internship, create a career portfolio, complete a senior project, write their resume, take an interest inventory, and visit colleges or industry sites as part of their school day. These types of activities are part of the school's comprehensive guidance program. They help your children develop self-knowledge, explore their options for work and learning, and develop plans to succeed after graduation.
Oregon school districts are creating career programs that best fit their students and their communities. Each district,
however, must insure that their graduating seniors have:
1. Developed an education plan and build an education profile.
2. Demonstrated extended application of their knowledge and skills through a collection of evidence.
3. Demonstrated career-related knowledge and skills in these six ar eas: per sonal management, teamwor k,
communication, problem solving, employment foundations, and career development
4. Participated in career-related learning experiences as outlined in their education plans.
Parents and communities are critical to the success of career-related learning.
Middle school career-related learning
As your children enter middle school, they are also ready to begin career exploration. Career exploration helps them personalize the world of work through research and experience. It explores the questions "Who am I?" and "Where might I
go with my life and learning?"
By seventh grade, your children will begin to build an education plan. In order to do so, they will engage in activities
that help them learn more about themselves in relationship to work. They might explore whether they prefer to work
with data and information, people, or things - and then connect their preference to occupations or a broad career area.
They might take a formal career assessment that helps them learn about their personality type - are they more realistic,
investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, or conventional. They might be asked to research different career fields, interview people about their work, or shadow someone on the job.
By eighth grade, you and your students will be asked to think about the transition to high school. Your children will set
some broad career goals - which career focus areas they want to pursue, what they want to do after high school, what
other activities they want to engage in. Their education plan will also look at the kinds of classes that will be important
to their goals. At this stage, the more your children learn about what it takes to achieve their dreams, the better prepared
they will be for making the most out of high school.
You can support career-related learning at your children's middle school by:




Finding out about the career-related learning goals and programs at the school.
Talking about the education planning activities with your children.
Helping your children reflect on what they are learning about themselves and their options.
Reaching out to teachers and guidance counselors when you have questions or concerns about the goals and
plans your children are setting.



Helping your children find and connect to adults who share their interests or career field.
Participating in career events and activities as a volunteer.
Talking to your employer and other acquaintances when the school needs the larger community to participate in
an event.

Why Us, Why Soil blocks




Soil blocks are made by hand. They are a self-contain plant growing system. No plastic. No sides.
Each soil block contains a variety of organic nutrients, for a healthy start through planting time.
Soil blocks do not get root bound. The roots sense the edge of the block and wait until they are put in the ground.
makes them transplant resistant. There is little damage when planted, for a smooth transition into the soil.
Plastic pots are tapered. More root growth happens in the soil blocks.
This
When to plant: While you can plant tomatoes now and monitor for a late frost, the tomatoes will pr efer staying in the
greenhouse and waiting for the soil to warm up a little more. Mid May is a great time to plant tomatoes outdoors. The soil
has warmed up and the danger of frost has passed.
