FLEX Family Newsletter
June 21st, 2021 - Last Newsletter of the School Year!
Thank you for a great school year!
We wish you a happy and safe summer!
We look forward to many of you returning in the fall. We will return to school on Wednesday, September 8th. Keep an eye on our website and ParentSquare (see below) for updated information.
ParentSquare - NEW BSD COMMUNICATION PLATFORM
BSD will be launching a new communication platform on June 28. It’s called ParentSquare. Curious about what it can do? Watch this short three-minute video. https://youtu.be/r4cu2M3z5u4
Keep in mind, ParentSquare will replace SchoolMessenger and any other texting/messaging apps like Remind or Talking Points that individual schools and teachers may be using. It won’t replace ParentVUE, StudentVUE, Canvas or Seesaw.
How would you like to receive messages from the district, your student’s school or teachers? Would you prefer a text, email, or an app notification? With ParentSquare, you can select your preferred channel and the message comes to you in your preferred language.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION! Congratulations, Class of 2021!
8th graders - High School Here We Come!
5th graders - Middle School Here We Come!
Students Teaching Students
Art Literacy shared "Students Teaching Students". These are high school students who shared their artwork with our students and then inspired them.
6th Graders READ
Last week, 6th and 7th graders gathered to talk about books. Recommendations were made by students Keira D. and Shelby T., Beaverton Teen Librarian Ian Duncanson, and FLEX teachers. Students left with lots of ideas and books to read over the summer.

2021 Summer Meal Program – June 28 - August 12
This summer, children can access free breakfasts and lunches through the federally-funded Summer Food Service Program sponsored by the Beaverton School District Nutrition Services Department. All children, ages 1 through 18 years, are eligible. There is no application or registration required. Parents or guardians may pick up meals for children who aren’t able to be present.
For more information, up-to-date serving times and a map of Summer Meal Service sites, visit the Summer Meal Service webpage.
Digital Summer Access
Looking for ways to stay digitally connected to learning this summer? Try some of these engaging and interactive digital activities with your student(s).
The Digital Summer Access website has tools for reading, math, science, PE and more.
Students will need their BSD username and password information to access many of these so be sure to get that information from your teacher before June 18.
Thanks for reading!
