Message from the Principal
Dear Families,
Happy Friday! We are very excited to be celebrating our Lee Farms Carnival this afternoon. We can't wait to spend time with our families and enjoy the fantastic weather at the beautiful Lee Farm! Thank you again to Lee Farms and our PSO volunteers to help make this community event happen.
We are well on our way to October and we are at the stage of the school year where routines and expectations are firmly in place. With that said, we could use some help reinforcing some high leverage actions to keep our school safe, happy, and predictable...
- We are working on the elements of being Safe, Respectful, and Kind. This means we keep our hands and feet to ourselves, use kind words, and follow directions to be respectful. Please help us by talking with your students about what they do to help Byrom feel safe. Together we can create a truly amazing school!
- We are asking all students to keep phones and smartwatches off/silent/away during the school day. Phones stay in backpacks and watches need to used before or after school. The front office is happy to accommodate phone calls home for students.
- Bullying is not tolerated at Byrom. Please talk with your kiddos and remind them to report incidents on being bullied to a trusted adult, or at safeoregon.com.
- Sleep and and rest are vital for a child's success at school. Age appropriate bedtimes and routines help kids be alert and ready for the rigors of the school day. Reach out to your child's teacher if we can support your family when sleep is problematic at home or school.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Go Bobcats!!!

Volunteering
Volunteer process:
We are very fortunate to have wonderful community members and families that want to be part of our students' education by volunteering! With that comes the responsibility of making sure our schools and students are safe at all times.
Anyone seeking to be a volunteer for our schools and or buildings needs to be background checked and offered the vector training. If a community member and or parent wants to volunteer, they have to go through the volunteer process and be cleared before doing so.
Volunteers and after school events
The volunteer process must be followed if the person will be interacting with our students. Whether the volunteering will take place during school or after school, the parent/community member must undergo the volunteer requirements as outlined on our website. This includes all school and or PTO/PSO sponsored events.
Visitors and after school or PTO/PSO sponsored events
Visitors to these events do not need to be background checked and go through the volunteer process as they are not expected to have interaction with students. Adults that come as visitors to after school events are only expected to supervise the children/students that accompany them.
Covid Vaccine Cards are no longer required!
Cleared Volunteers - please contact byromvolunteer@gmail.com
