We need your help!
Please search for overdue and lost items: library books, textbooks from last school year and school-issued devices (iPads, Chromebooks) that your student isn’t currently using. Search your in-box, too, for any emails from noreply@intouchreceipting.com or do-not-reply@nwresd.k12.or.us, which will indicate that your student has a missing item.
Then return that item to any BSD school. At Timberland, there is a cart labeled "library book return" outside the front doors from 8am-3:30pm. If you are returning a Chromebook, please call the office at 503-356-3720 when you arrive.

December Snowflake Hunt
This month Beaverton Safe Routes to School invites your school community to go on a Snowflake Hunt! To participate make a snowflake and place it in a window facing the street and then go for a walk and count how many snowflakes you find. We hope this provides your family with a fun activity and a little encouragement to get outside for a walk or roll. Use the link below for a snowflake making tutorial and make sure your trip is counted in the following ways:
1. Send an email to bsdsaferoutes@gmail.com with the number of snowflakes you found. BSD students (or parents) please include how many students participated and what school they are from.
2. BSD elementary students can also log their miles on their Marathon Kids account. If you need information on how to set up a Marathon Kids account, contact your PE teacher.
3. Post a photo to social media with the following hashtags #BSDsaferoutes #BSDtogether #BSDmarathonkids
Chromebooks - Grades 3-12
If you still have an older model Chromebook “R11”, please come get it exchanged for a new “Spin” model that has a stylus. All students in grades 3-12 should have this new version, and it will be required for middle and high school students taking art next semester.
See photos to help determine which you have.
To exchange your Chromebook, please email flex-online-school@beaverton.k12.or.us or call 503-356-3720 to set up a time.
