All students at Oak Hills will have their vision screened Tuesday, January 17th. It is a simple camera style screening, with a photo taken of the child's eye and no subjective elements. However, notify the front office or your child's teacher if you wish to opt your student out of the screening.

FRIENDSHIP DAY, FEBRUARY 10th

Upcoming fun: Friendship Day parties in February! Make sure you’re a registered volunteer now to join your child’s party.

As January brings rainy, wet days, students still love to play outside for recess. It's a bit muddy in the soccer field and surrounding grass. And you never know where the random mud puddle will spring up just needing a student to enjoy a good splash through it!

Our supply of extra clothing is very low. We send a lot home, and we thank those of you who do return the items clean and ready for the next student. We would ask you to send your student with a full set of extra clothing in their own backpack. Please include undergarments and socks too. Mud has a way of soaking through layers very quickly.

And if you have extra clothing you can donate to us to have on hand for all Oak Hills students in need, please drop those items off at the front office. We especially need 4-6. 7-8, 8-10 pants/leggings for boys and girls.

Beaverton School District Inclement Weather Information

When we have inclement weather, school schedules could be affected. School closure or delayed start decisions will typically be communicated to media outlets and posted on the district website, ParentSquare and social media by 5:30 a.m. The District makes decisions based on the ability to operate school buses safely, the ability of parents and students to drive safely, and the ability of students to walk safely. Decisions are made for the entire District. However, we encourage families to make transportation and attendance decisions for their children based on their own assessment of travel conditions at their locations.

For the latest inclement weather information:

• Check the district website. A page pop-up will be posted if there’s a change in school
• operations.
• The BSD Public Safety webpage has information about inclement weather procedures and snow routes.
• Follow us on: Twitter @BeavertonSD, Facebook @BeavertonSchoolDistrict or Instagram @beavertonsd
• Tune into media outlets for updates.

Absences and dismissal changes can be reported to us via the Oak Hills website. There are buttons where you can click and report an absence or changes to how your child will be going home. For dismissal, please report the changes before 1:30 PM since this is when we will be delivering the information to our teachers and students. Thank you in advance for utilizing this communication tool. It will free up our phone lines for families, staff, and community members who urgently need to get in touch with the office.
