Cedar Park Middle School - September 6, 2016
Welcome to Another Great Year!
Cedar Park teachers returned on Monday, August 29th after a long summer that kept them away from the building. They have been working tirelessly all week getting their rooms cleaned and ready for students.
We look forward to greeting the 6th graders on Tuesday, September 6th and all students on Wednesday, September 7th. For bell schedules and other important school information, please check out our school website at www.beaverton.k12.or.us/schools/cedar-park.

Cedar Park Annual Fundraiser: Jog-A-Thon
Cedar Park’s Fun Run has been reformatted to a 5K, as well as moved to the Fall. It is a school-wide event promoting fun and fitness, while raising essential funds for our school. Students will solicit donations, then run, jog or walk their way to the finish line on October 6 & 7.
Watch your email for more information, and check out http://www.cedarparkptc.org/ to learn more about how your contributions help support Cedar Park programs.
We Need You!
To be a tutor
AVID=Advancement Via Individual Determination The Beaverton AVID Program teaches students the skills and behaviors necessary for academic success in high school, college and beyond. • AVID tutors work with small groups of students under the supervision of a teacher. • Tutors are trained to use specific strategies that help develop students’ critical thinking, literacy, and math skills. • Tutoring is held mainly on Tuesday & Thursday, and times vary depending on the school and volunteer availability. Other days are available. • Training and ongoing support provided. • Community Volunteer Application and Background Check required. For more information contact: BSD-AVID-Tutor@beaverton.k12.or.us
Starting in September 2017, the Beaverton School District will implement a 90-minute early release on Wednesday afternoons to allow teachers time to collaborate and participate in professional development opportunities. The schedule change is a result of the new contract between the District and the Beaverton Education Association. The agreement adds nine student days over the next three years.
We recognize the impact this change will have on families and childcare may be a challenge. We are exploring opportunities for additional after school activities with the Beaverton Education Foundation and other community partners. The District recognizes this fact and has already begun the planning process. Some of those steps include weekly planning meetings, conducting parent focus groups and regular communications about the change. Much of the work is focused on determining how to support families and students in the transition. Cedar Park parents are invited to voice input and ask questions at our monthly PTC meetings. Please see the school calendar for specific dates. The District has developed an Early Release/Teacher Collaboration webpage. There is a link to this page on our school webpage in the “School Resources” box. The webpage includes an FAQ that may contain answers to many of your questions. Planning for Early Release/Teacher Collaboration will continue to take place throughout the 2016-2017 school year. Please check the District’s BSD Briefs newsletter, our school newsletter and the Early Release/Teacher Collaboration webpage for updates.
