WLWV Community Update
September 24, 2019
The West Linn-Wilsonville School Board has placed two measures on the upcoming November Election ballot. Those measures include a $206.8 million capital bond to fund several construction projects as well as a local option levy renewal that funds approximately 80 teachers across the district. Neither measure is expected to increase the current tax rate. Please take a moment to learn about these two measures by visiting www.wlwvbond.org.

Safety Spotlight — Digital Privacy and Security
With the start of the school year, and as students are beginning their use of online resources and tools, the opportunity to remind them of their right to access these things is very important, and it is just as important to secure these resources from potential use by others.
Students are taught the importance of using strong passwords as well as the need to routinely change them. Students are also often taught to be suspicious of online scams or schemes that aim to access important data. Learn more about the importance of internet privacy and security by visiting the District Website.
Interested in Joining WLWV Schools as a Paraeducator?
In the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, paraeducators are expected to help teachers establish and maintain a climate of learning, work as a part of a team, and demonstrate initiative in responding to students’ day-to-day needs. Examples of duties include working individually and in small groups with students at all skill levels with the goal of fostering independence in the areas of academics, social skills, communication, behavior, and functional routines. Paraeducators often provide support for students in the general education classroom, gymnasium, lunchroom, playground, and in the community.
To learn more about this opportunity, please visit the employment section of the district website, or contact your school front office or principal for more information.

Volunteer in WLWV Schools!
The West Linn-Wilsonville School District uses HelpCounter for volunteer registration and sign-in to increase safety and security for all students. Interested volunteers can register to volunteer in WLWV schools by visiting the Volunteer Registration webpage. Simply select 'Start' to fill out your application, which includes a background check. The first time that volunteers sign-in to volunteer at any WLWV school they will be prompted to accept a Volunteer Agreement.
Volunteers must also re-register every three years, or when volunteering at a new school. Note that volunteer coaches register through a different process. Contact your school's athletic director or principal for more information.
Volunteering in WLWV schools is an extremely rewarding experience. Your time is greatly appreciated by both staff and students!
