LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL
Oct 21, 2022
8am to 2pm, LHS Rotunda
Did you miss picture day or want to take
a new picture?
Retake day is quickly approaching. If we did not see you on picture day or you would like a new image, Dorian Studio will be taking pictures at your school again soon. Do not miss out on ordering pictures of your student.
Orders may be placed online by searching for your school name at mydorian.com and selecting the green Order button next to your school retake day event. Online orders are available up to 4 days after retake day.
If you already ordered and want a new picture taken please be sure to return your original picture packet to the photographer on retake day.

Assistive Technology … Did you know?
Technology is changing and improving the school experience for students with dyslexia. Text-to-speech and speech-to-text software, calculators, and note-taking apps are common examples of “assistive technology”. Many of us enjoy audiobooks for pleasure reading, but audiobooks also can serve as a vital piece of assistive technology for those with learning differences such as dyslexia.
With audiobooks everyone can acquire new vocabulary, expand their knowledge and love of books, and enjoy complex or intriguing storylines. Because dyslexics have great listening comprehension, audiobooks enable independent access to school curriculum through “ear-reading” of complex or voluminous textbooks and novels.
The Lake Oswego Public Library has many audiobook services here:
LOSD assistive technology and audiobook resource information can be found here:

If you have questions or concerns regarding your child’s learning, please contact the school principal and/or literacy specialist. Another great parent resource would be to contact your school’s Special Education Advisory Committee representative. Please see here to learn how to contact your school representative.
Model United Nations Parent Night
We will be hosting an MUN parent night on November 9 at 6:30 pm. If your child is planning to participate in MUN this year, please plan to attend. We will talk about what MUN is, requirements for students, and our need for chaperones. If you have any questions please email:
Sarah Mock mocks@loswego.k12.or.us or Ryan Inahara Inaharar@loswego.k12.or.us
The Oregon MUN conference will be April 13-15 at the University of Oregon in Eugene this year.
PSI STEM Opportunity
The Partnership for Scientific Inquiry (PSI) program held at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is a great way to dive deeper into STEM and research.
Oregon sophomore, junior, and senior high school students may apply. An ideal student is interested in scientific research or pursuing the field of biomedical research. The PSI program introduces high school students to the scientific process and provides access to research scientists from OHSU and other Portland research institutes in a 16-week course. This is a semester-long program with a potential opportunity to be paired with a mentor for a summer research experience. There is no cost to students. We meet virtually on Wednesday nights for two hours from February to May. Students must apply and arrange for one teacher or counselor recommendation sent to us by December 16, 2022. For program details and application forms visit: www.psiprogramohsu.com. We will be accepting applications for our 23rd PSI program beginning November 1, 2022.

The student testing program, also known as the ASVAB Career Exploration Program (CEP), is used for career exploration and is given in high schools
Junior and Senior students are given the opportunity to take the ASVAB at no cost and no commitment to military service. The ASVAB CEP also provides an interest assessment and planning tools to help young adults explore career field entry requirements and various career paths, both military and civilian.

Lock Down Drill Training is planned for next week
Lakeridge High School will be conducting a lockdown Drill on Wednesday, October 26th. State law requires we conduct 2 Lockdown drills each year. Our goal in planning for this important safety drill is to minimize the disruption to classroom learning and avoid creating undue concern, while simultaneously providing practice for staff, students, visitors, and volunteers. In the event of an emergency the safety of our students, staff, and visitors is our most important priority.
A Lockdown is initiated when there is a threat inside the building. A lockdown secures students, staff, and volunteers within classrooms while leaving entrances open for emergency personnel and law enforcement to clear the building.
We will be conducting this drill with the assistance of the LOPD, who have become invaluable partners with the school district in all of our emergency training. Afterwards we will spend time assessing how well we executed procedures and where we can improve our practices. If you are interested in learning more about our lockdown procedures, visit the Safety and Security department page located the LOSD https://www.losdschools.org/domain/1748
This drill has been known to be highly stressful for some kids. Lakeridge High School is offering a less intense Lockdown drill format for those that truly need it. Please fill out the form linked below If you or your child believes they would benefit from the alternative Lockdown drill.
The safety of our children is our most important priority and we care deeply that each child feels safe at school.
