Drop off and Pick Up Procedure
Please note:
- Students walking home (Walkers) and Bus Traffic will have priority during school release from 3:05-3:15 pm

Beaverton Water Update
- The District will turn off drinking faucets that have a 15ppb or higher result.
- We will replace fixtures that have results of 15ppb or higher. We hope to complete this work by the start of school in September.
- We will conduct follow up testing on these new fixtures. The fixtures will remain off and out of service until the retests results are analyzed and determined to be under the 15ppb action level.
At McKinley there are 10 classrooms set for faucet and/or drinking fountain replacement. Meanwhile, water dispenser and jugs of water will be available to students. Signs will be placed above sinks indicating that hand washing is fine but not to drink until the replacement is complete.
