Primary Fundraiser // Rocket Week: Help us reach our goal – as of last week’s count our donations totaled $12,000 (versus our goal of $25,000). Please turn in all remaining donations by November 10th so we may close out our event. Thank you for supporting the Rock Creek PTC!

In 1990, former President George H.W. Bush signed the proclamation declaring the month of November as Native American Heritage Month. The proclamation celebrates and recognizes the accomplishments of the peoples who were the original inhabitants of the United States of America. In September 2020, the Beaverton School Board adopted a resolution, acknowledging the month of November as Native American/Alaska Native Heritage Month.

Join us in celebrating the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, histories and contributions of Native people.

Fall Safety Tips

Every year thousands of people are injured due to daylight savings time changes and the changing of the seasons. Autumn means all road users should be extra alert.

• Wear bright reflective clothing when walking or rolling.

• Don’t assume people driving will see you. Make eye contact before crossing in front of vehicles.

• Be alert! Keep eyes and ears open, especially while crossing the street.

• Cyclists should make sure to have lights and wear helmets – it is the law.

• Driving or biking? Use extra caution and slowdown in the dark and rain. And remember, do not text and drive!

We cannot stress how important it is to have students in class all day, with as little interruptions as possible. Please schedule appointments before or after school whenever possible.

We are required to track all student absences and illness symptoms. When calling in your student's absence please leave detailed information ie. if your student is ill and has a fever or not, if they have a cough or not, vomiting, etc and the date symptoms started. Also, please contact us if students will be on vacation or have an appointment.If we do not have detailed information we are required to call parents. Our 24 hour attendance line is 503-356-2451 and our emails are jessica_vogel@beaverton.k12.or.us and Diana_carter@beaverton.k12.or.us. Thank you so much for your cooperation!

We understand that it can be challenging to access current information regarding your child’s schooling in your own language. We do our best to send out messages about important updates, especially during these challenging times.

Below, we’ve included a link that will take you to our website, where you’ll find it already translated into your language. Please know, the translation is generated by Google Translate. It’s not perfect, but we do hope it’s helpful.
