Reopening for the 2020-21 School Year — K12 Online Option
At this time, the West Linn-Wilsonville School District is planning to reopen schools in the fall. We are awaiting guidance from Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Department of Education (ODE) regarding the health and safety parameters for reopening. As we learn more and our plans begin to take shape, we will communicate them to you.
This fall, we are also planning to launch an optional WLWV K12 Online Program for students and families who wish to continue learning at home and through a comprehensive, standards-based, online curriculum program taught by our own highly qualified staff. As this optional program develops, we will communicate the details and the registration pathway to you.
No Meal Service on Friday, May 29
If families need additional meal assistance, including free and reduced lunch applications, please visit the nutrition services webpage. For information about the Oregon Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), please visit the Oregon.Gov website.

Nursing Notes — Cooking With Children
These are unprecedented times, for sure! Many of us have found ourselves sheltering at home and cooking more than usual. Have you invited your kids into the kitchen? There are many benefits for children and teens when they are able to help in the kitchen. Even the smallest toddler can lend a hand by washing fruits and vegetables or stirring batter. Older children can take on larger tasks of chopping, sautéing, and baking under the observation of an adult. Teens, with a little bit of practice, can complete an entire meal.
Cooking provides children with a learning opportunity that stimulates all of their senses. Not only does cooking help with math and language skills, but it can help build self-confidence and empower children to make healthy choices. Learning to cook influences food choices and behaviors, and has been shown to increase children’s consumption of fruits and vegetables, contributing to their overall well-being. Even a choosy-eater may be more willing to try a new food if they are involved in the cooking process. If tasting a new food is challenging, encourage your child to smell or touch the food, which can serve as a bridge to later tasting that new food.
Read more about the benefits of cooking with children by visiting the Nursing Department Webpage.
