PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE by Kayla Bell
Dear Families,
Tomorrow teachers will be working to complete report cards for students that report their progress both academically and behaviorally. We will be following the district guidelines as outlined below. Report cards will be sent home on February 9th. Some families have elected to receive report cards electronically. You will be able to access your report cards on the 9th as well.
Conferences are coming! Next week we will be sending home a letter with the links to sign up for your child’s conference. This fall we had a 98% participation rate. We are shooting for 100% this time. Please help us reach our goal. If you cannot make the scheduled conference dates, please connect with your child’s teacher to schedule another time or to connect via phone.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kayla

HEAD LICE INFORMATION
There have been a few isolated cases of head lice reported to the school recently. Head lice is a common condition. It is not associated with a lack of cleanliness or any particular life style.
Head lice should be suspected when there is intense itching of the skull and the back of the neck. The treatment for head lice consists of shampooing the hair with a head lice shampoo or applying a natural/alternative product that smothers the insect. Shampoos can be purchased at any pharmacy. There are also lice treatment salons in Beaverton.
The school office has information about the specifics of head lice treatment. The school would appreciate notification if your child gets head lice. This assists us in taking precautionary measures at school. All information is completely confidential.
