Important News
Principal Chats
All future principal chats will be postponed until further notice. This is because of the constant change regarding return to school guidelines. This topic is the most pressing issue for our families and Ms. Galvan would like to be able to inform you of the District's firm plan when a final decision has been made.
Until then, if you have questions or concerns pertaining to other topics outside of return to school please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Galvan directly via email veronica_galvan@beaverton.k12.or or her assistant, Cristina Guajardo cristina_guajardo@beaverton.k12.or.us.
You may also call the office, 503-356-2680 to set up a meeting.
Thank you.
Middle School Boundary Message
This message was sent to all students that will be in grades 6-8 in 2021-2022 on Thursday, January 28 at 4 pm
Dear BSD Families,
In November, Superintendent Don Grotting announced the new Middle School Boundary Adjustment. As a result, some middle school assignments have changed. To check your student’s school assignment for next school year, input your home address into the school locator on the Beaverton School District website. (Make sure to select 2021-22 School Year Boundaries.)
In March, you’ll receive further information from your middle school principal about forecasting (selecting classes) for next school year.
Some current 7th graders qualify for the Legacy Student Program. Instead of switching, this exception allows students who’ll be entering 8th grade during the 2021-22 school year the OPTION to remain at the middle school that they attended during this current school year. If this applies to your student, you’ll receive more information from the District Friday afternoon.

Stoller Volunteers
Welcome Stoller Volunteers!
Volunteering in the 2020-21 school year will be unlike previous years. Although we are unsure what remote volunteer needs will be, we invite you to create a volunteer profile or update your existing profile. This will ensure you are able to help Stoller staff and students through volunteer work as opportunities arise. A volunteer profile is required for all volunteering within BSD schools. Please follow the steps below to update or create your volunteer profile. Additional information is available at www.stollerpto.com/volunteer.
Existing BSD Volunteers (new to Stoller)
Please send an email to update_volunteer_locations@beaverton.k12.or.us and request to add Stoller Middle School to the organizations listed in your mVP account. Provide your full first and last name as it appears in your profile. If you will no longer be volunteering at an elementary school, you may also request to remove that school from your profile.
New BSD Volunteers
If you are a new volunteer to the Beaverton School District, you must create a volunteer account. This process includes a background check.
- Parent/Guardian: Complete the Parent/Guardian Volunteer Application
- Community Volunteer: Complete the Community Volunteer Application (This applies to Grandparents, Nannies, Neighbors, etc)
- Youth Volunteers: Complete the Youth Volunteer Application
Within the application, please include all of the BSD schools where you are a volunteer. You will have one profile for all your BSD volunteering.
- This step also initiates a background check. It will come up for renewal every 2 years.
- Once your background check is complete, you will receive an email from Stoller PTO stating your background check approval status, and your volunteer profile at myimpactpage.com will be active.
Thank you for giving your time and talents to Stoller this school year!
If you have any issues with your device or logging in, you will need to contact the Student Help Desk.
