Dear Families,
Please take a few moments to read through our current newsletter as it contains quite a few new items this week. All new and updated articles are posted on the uppermost part of the newsletter and recurring articles on the lowermost.
As always, we are here for you. Feel free to contact us at 503-663-3323 if you have any questions and/or concerns.
Have a happy and safe Halloween!
Our mission is to prepare our students for the best comprehensive distance learning experience possible. We ask that you guide and support your child's learning by ensuring that they:
- Attend all classes, arrive on time, and be prepared and ready for the day's learning.
- Complete and turn in all assignments on time.
- Consistently communicate with their teachers.
- Know that you expect them to succeed in school.
Together we will make this Mission Possible!

Lost & Found & Locker Belongings
We wanted to provide an opportunity for you to pick up any Lost and Found items that your child/children may have left behind from the last school year including their locker belongings from last spring. Our lost and found include items such as clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles and shoes. Please contact the office @ (503) 663-3323 to schedule an appointment to claim your child/children belongings.
ALL unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity by Friday, November 6th.
