- If you clean the keyboard and screen, use ONLY computer-safe wipes (Do NOT spray the device with cleaning agents or water.). Here is a tutorial on how to clean a Chromebook.
- Cases will not be stored at ISB and students should keep these at home.
- If you plan on departing before the school year ends, please return the Chromebook and charger to the library.

Verification of enrollments can now be completed online each year. Feel free to watch a helpful video or view this flyer (English | Spanish) to help you through the process.
For more information, including flyers, FAQ’s, and helpful videos, please visit the Online Registration webpage.
Have a Fantastic Summer
It’s a great time to be outside walking and biking with family and friends. Whatever active mode you choose, find routes with sidewalks and low volume and speed; and, crosswalks or traffic signals. Safety is everyone’s responsibility!
Drivers, as you travel through neighborhoods, around parks, trails or community centers, slow down to 20 MPH and watch for children at all intersections.
Mark your calendar for Wednesday October 10, 2018. It’s International Walk+Roll to School Day! Let’s see how many people we can get walking and rolling (bike, scoot, skate, bus). Stay tuned for more details! http://beavertonsaferoutes.org/
Summer Office Hours
June 25 - August 3 our school office will be open during the summer from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, Mondays through Thursdays only.
Transportation for 2018-19
Your student’s transportation information will be rolled over from this school year to the next. If your student’s transportation needs change during the summer, please visit our website, download the appropriate form, and mail it or fax it to ISB at your earliest convenience. Once the school year starts, it may take up to a week to process your request and you will need to make alternate transportation arrangements for your student until his/her new bus routes are set up.
ISB families are able to see their students' transportation routes online by visiting eLink at https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/depts/trans/Pages/e-link.aspx. Bus routes for the 2018-19 school year will be available after August 20th.
