Superintendent Video Message
UPCOMING EVENTS
September 2015
September's video message from Superintendent Scott welcomes students, staff and families back to school, and introduces Executive Directors Grant Corliss and Ted Zehr to discuss the importance of student attendance, parent involvement, and use of the ParentVUE system.
Throughout the year, there are many times we will need to contact you with information about your student. Please take a few moments to make sure we have complete and current information (especially phone numbers and e-mail addresses) for all parents, guardians, and emergency contacts by checking your information in ParentVUE. Thank you!
Back to School Traffic Safety
The Washington County Sheriff's Office and Safe Routes to School program have teamed up with local school districts to request drivers' help in ensuring students get to and from school safely as the school year gets underway this week. Click here to watch an informational video, and click here to see the full press release.
Starting in September, the District will conduct vision screenings for students in grades K, 1, 3 and 5, in partnership with the Oregon Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation.
Preparedness Month Action Item: Register Your Phone for Reverse 911
September is Preparedness Month and this week's action item is to register your phone for Reverse 911. Reverse 911 is a system law enforcement and emergency service providers can use to alert people in certain geographic areas in the event of an emergency.
Did You Know?
When it comes to attendance, 90 percent is a D, not an A.
Students should aim to be at school on time every day and accumulate no more than eight absences in the course of a school year - both excused and unexcused - for an attendance rate of 95 percent or higher.
