Gratitude Tree

YG recently decided to set up a gratitude tree. Students are writing what they are grateful for on ginkgo leaves and filling up the tree. We have two trees up- one for Kinder, 1st, and 2nd grade, and one for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade.

It has been a joy to watch the tree grow and become more colorful with thankful thoughts and intentions.

Erin’s Law

Parents, this STOP, WALK, TALK poster describes what many of our classrooms teach for dealing with unwanted behaviors among peers at school. You may want to print, or review this process with your child if they are having a small problem with another student at school. And as the poster suggests, please encourage your child to bring bigger problems to an adult so we can help solve the issue.

Volunteer at Yujin Gakuen

Many of our parents asked what steps they need to take to volunteer at school. Please see the links below or visit the 4J webpage “Volunteer in the Eugene District 4J.”

As a parent or guardian, you may wonder how you can get involved in your child’s education. One great way to do this is by volunteering in the Eugene District 4J schools. Volunteering offers many benefits for both you and your child. It’s a great way to meet other parents and get to know the teachers and staff at your child’s school. It can also be a fun and rewarding way to spend some time with your child.

If you’re interested in volunteering, there are a few things you need to do. First, you’ll need to complete a background check. You can find more information about this on the 4J website. You’ll also need to complete a mandatory training session. Once you’ve done these things, you’ll be ready to start volunteering.

So why not give it a try? Volunteering is a great. See the links below to get started or visit “Volunteer in the Eugene District 4J.”
