Author Nathan Hale
On Monday, October 22nd Sato 3rd, 4th and 5th graders were super excited to welcome author Nathan Hale! He was knowledgeable, engaging and hilarious! If you have a 3rd, 4th or 5th grader, ask them who Pomp was or what the exploration party learned about the effects of mercury?!!?
Lock Out Drill in November
We encourage parents to watch our video outlining the difference between a βlockoutβ and a βlockdown.β A lockdown is called when there is a possible threat inside the school, while a lockout is called when there is a possible threat near the school or in the neighborhood.
The Beaverton School District does not typically send out parent notifications for lockouts for the following reasons:
- They are most often unrelated to what is happening inside the school.
- They are often due to police activity in the neighborhood.
- They are usually resolved quickly, often within minutes.
We always post a banner on our website when a lockout is in effect and is cleared. You can subscribe to our RSS feed so that you are always notified when a banner is placed on our website.
We do not typically send out notifications about lockouts via SchoolMessenger because the lockout will likely be resolved before the system is even finished sending out the notification. We do make exceptions to this practice if a lockout goes on for an extended period of time, or if it affects dismissal.
If a lockout happens during arrival, we work closely with our Transportation Department to hold or reroute buses as necessary, as well as with law enforcement agencies who provide support to ensure that students can be ushered into the school building safely.
