!!Cheldelin Track Meet Moved!!
The
Cheldelin Track Meet, originally scheduled to be held
here at Cheldelin Thursday 5/8/08, has been RELOCATED TO
CHS. The meet will still be on Thursday 5/8/08
beginning at 2:00 PM, but it will be held at CHS. All
Cheldelin students are invited to attend the Track Meet.
Permission slips will be sent home on Monday
afternoon with all our students, and will be available on
the Cheldelin Website as well.
-
Students wishing to attend the track
meet at CHS must return their completed, signed
permission slip to the office by WEDNESDAY MORNING.
-
NO LATE PERMISSION SLIPS WILL BE
ACCEPTED. NO EXCEPTIONS.
-
The track meet will run until
approximately 5:00 PM. CHELDELIN STUDENTS WILL NOT BE
TRANSPORTED BACK TO CHELDELIN.
-
All student attending the track meet at
CHS, WILL NEED TO BE PICKED UP AT 5:00 WHEN THE MEET IS
OVER.
As you may be aware, the Cheldelin track has some
structural issues with both cracking and areas of
missing asphalt that create 1-1 ˝” potholes of various
sizes. It does not appear to have gotten significantly
worse this year than it has been for the previous 3-5
years when it was identified for replacement. The
district will shortly be going out to bid for track
replacement this summer with funds from the Facilities
Improvement Bond and with favorable bid results, the new
track should be in place by the start of the ’08 school
season. A short term solution of cold patching and
filling of the cracks may have been possible but would
most likely not have resulted in a completely smooth
surface and unevenness would remain.
Although the Cheldelin students have been using the
track for PE and track practices without incident, the
District’s Facilities and Maintenance Division
recommends not using it for the inter-school track meet
for the following reasons:
-
The track meet format may require all
lanes to be used, not allowing the competitors to avoid
the worst spots, which may be possible in a practice or
PE setting.
-
Competitors using lanes with uneven
sections of surfacing may be placed at an unfair
disadvantage by having to adjust their stride to avoid
these areas.
-
With the increased excitement from the
competitive environment athletes may not be as aware of
imperfections in the running surface and more likely to
have an accident.
-
Bringing athletes from other schools in
who are unfamiliar of the characteristics of the track
increases the likelihood of an incident due to the
surfacing.
Hopefully, the grandstand and new track surface will
provide an exciting venue for the meet and next year the
event can return to Cheldelin’s new track.

IS YOUR STUDENT READY FOR NEXT YEAR?
By now your 5th, 6th, or 7th grade student
should have brought home a registration packet for the
2008-2009 school year. Please complete and return these
forms as soon as possible, as they help us finalize our
planning and get ready for next year.
Packets should be returned to the office by Friday, May
23rd.
If your student has
special scheduling needs (e.g. core classes in the morning,
a certain teaching style, a shortened day, or the like),
please pick up a Special Scheduling Request form, complete
it, and return it to the office by Tuesday, May 13th. We
will do our best to accommodate your requests, but please
keep in mind that we are scheduling approximately 600
students, and we may not be able to grant all requests.
If your student will not be attending
Cheldelin next year, please call Annette at 766-4820 to let
us know so we can be prepared to send his or her records to
the new school in a timely manner.
If you need a new copy of the registration
packet, you can pick one up in the Cheldelin office.
For questions about your 8th grader’s high
school registration, contact CVHS Counseling at 757-5815 or
CHS Counseling at 757-5881.

TRACK YOUR STUDENT’S PROGRESS
Pinnacle Internet Viewer is a web-based
application that allows you and your student to track grades
and attendance. You can see what assignments are missing,
how many days absent or tardy, total points earned, current
grade in every class, etc. You can access the website by
clicking on the link on this page that says Check Grades.
By now you should have a received a letter
explaining how the system works and giving your login
information. If you have lost it and need a new copy,
contact Annette at 766-4820.
OFFICE PHONE USE CLARIFIED
We have recently
removed office phone use. We keep a phone log, and are
noticing that often the same students are using the phone
day after day, often several times a day. Students are also
leaving class saying they need to use the restroom or go to
the library, and coming to use the phone instead.
Students are welcome to use the office telephone for
emergencies. Emergencies include things like illness
or injury or missing the bus after
school. They
do not
include after-school plans, or getting permission to ride a
different bus. These arrangements need to be made before
school. Students may also use the phone
once per day at lunch time only
for a
brief, non-emergency call. Students may not make
non-emergency calls at any other time, or more than once per
day.
Thank you for your understanding.

and learn about the 6th grade program.
This Open House is designed for parents

A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR
VOLUNTEERS
We have volunteers in our office helping
answer phones, dealing with counter traffic, assisting sick
or injured students, in our classrooms helping teachers with
all kinds of projects, in our library helping kids learn to
read, and working on our 8 th
grade celebration and party. Volunteers
make possible our magazine sale and book fairs, both of
which raise much-needed funds for our school. Volunteers
helped cook meals, load and unload luggage, and chaperone
busses to and from Outdoor School. They ferry and supervise
kids on field trips, help supervise the cafeteria and other
common areas at lunch time, run the student store,
generously donate their time, their money, and their talents
to help make Cheldelin a better place for kids. We couldn’t
possibly do it without you!
PROGRESS NOTICES
Each quarter, about midway through the
quarter, Cheldelin sends home progress notices for students
who are receiving a grade of D or below in any class.
The last progress reports of the
school year are tentatively scheduled to be sent home the
week of May 13th.
If at any time during the year, you have
questions or concerns about your child’ s progress, you are
encouraged to contact teachers via email or by calling the
school office at 757-5971. All district email addresses are
of the following format:
Firstname.Lastname@corvallis.k12.or.us.
