Butternut Creek Elementary
Family Newsletter--Aug. 24, 2021
Welcome to the upcoming 2021-22 school year! I am thrilled to be serving the students of Butternut Creek in person, all day, every day! This school year is already bringing with it a need for flexibility, patience and understanding. We are demonstrating those qualities through the updated guidelines for this school year, the Bond construction happening on our campus which includes a new bus loop, updates to our entry and parking lot, air conditioning, seismic upgrades and a few other items, a new principal, new office staff, etc. I'm eager to partner with all of you so we can best serve our students. Our teachers start back to work next week, preparing for our students' return. If you need anything at this time, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 503-844-1390.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Gina McLain
Principal

Daily School Schedule & Information
- First day of school for ALL K-6 students: Thursday, Sept. 9th
- School day: 7:45-2:05 M/T/Th/F and 7:45-1:35 Wed.
- Students can arrive on campus at 7:15am. Please do not drop your student off before 7:15. This is a safety issue as there are no adults available to supervise
- Breakfast will be served before school starting at 7:20am
- Students who arrive between 7:15 and 7:35 will be able to go to the cafeteria if they need breakfast or to the gym until released to class
- Buses will be arriving at school around 7:20
- Please aim to have your student(s) at school by 7:35 since that is when they are released to their classrooms and get settled for the day
- School starts at 7:45, so your student will be marked tardy if they arrive after that
Online Verification: Update Your Student's Information
Parents/Guardians review and update information for students currently attending Hillsboro School District. Having accurate contact information for parents is critical for communicating school and district news, as well as attendance and emergency notifications. Only one parent/guardian can complete the verification process. Click here for more info.
How do I access Online Verification?
You will need a ParentVUE account and access to a computer or mobile device.
Don't have a ParentVUE account? Contact your student's school for an activation key. Additional ParentVUE information can be found here.
