District Goal: WE empower all students to achieve post-high school success.
Take the Annual Parent Survey
Please take a few moments to complete the BSD Annual Parent Survey! The survey helps us to evaluate our progress in educating your child(ren) and planning for the future. Our goal is to ensure that every member of our school community feels welcomed, valued, and informed, so it is important for all parents/guardians to complete the survey. The survey data will be summarized so that each person who answers will remain anonymous.
Please take the survey considering only one child. You may take the survey again if you have children attending more than one school.
A link to the 2019 Annual Parent Survey will be sent to all valid parent email addresses via SchoolMessenger on Monday, April 22, 2019. The deadline to participate is Sunday, May 12, 2019. You can view a copy of the survey in both English and Spanish on the Research & Reports webpage.
15th Annual Energy and Resource Conservation Student Art Calendar Contest
The Energy & Resource Conservation Department invites all Beaverton School District K-12 students to participate in the 15th Annual Student Art Calendar Contest.
Sponsored this year by Energy Trust of Oregon (ETO), students may submit their original artwork reflecting the contest theme:
"CUT YOUR CARBON - CONSERVE"
The ETO, www.energytrust.org, has partnered with the Beaverton School District on more than 30 projects, making our schools more energy efficient and comfortable for building occupants.
Students are encouraged to submit original art work to be considered for the 2020 Student Art Calendar. Calendar entries will be selected by a panel of judges, and the 14 student artists whose work is selected will receive a copy of the completed calendar in June 2019.
The contest is officially underway! The deadline for entries is Friday, April 26, 2019.
Please review the contest guidelines and download an entry form to enter. Take note that the entry form MUST be printed on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Landscape formatted entries are best suited for the calendar.
Safe Routes to School: Parent’s Guide to Walk + Bike Day
Each year at least 30 BSD schools participate in National Walk + Bike Day (May 8, 2019) and many go the extra mile for Walk + Bike Challenge Month through May 31. Registered schools get to take home free incentives from Beaverton Safe Routes to School.
Why participate? How about: clean air, savings on gas, less crowded parking lots, safer streets with more people on foot, and lots of school pride. Many schools are hosting bike fairs and other events to gear up.
For info on preferred walk/bike routes at your school, and to sign up for the event, visit: http://www.beavertonsaferoutes.org/register.html.
