Recognition/Announcements:
Lockdown Drill Recognition. On Tuesday, we had our first lockdown drill of the year. Safety is always a priority here at Powell Butte and practicing these drills regularly is important. Our students did an excellent job. They showed they were a Caring Community with Integrity, Equity, Empathy and Respect.
Thank you for your continued support.

COVID-19 Pediatric Vaccine Clinic
It’s important that there is equitable access to the COVID-19 pediatric vaccine in our community, which is why Centennial School District is partnering with Legacy Health Services and Metropolitan Family Service to bring two pediatric vaccine clinics to our district.
The free vaccine clinic is for children ages 5-11 years old. Registration is recommended: https://bit.ly/3CdQ0JC. Drop-ins are accepted. Patients under 15 years old will require parental / guardian consent to receive vaccination.
Clinic dates, times and locations are as follows:
Oliver Elementary, 15840 SE Taylor St, Portland, OR 97233
First Dose: Monday, Nov. 22, 2021, 2:30-5:30 p.m.

Take These Steps to Keep Everyone Safe.
Make a plan to vaccinate all eligible household members.
Wear face coverings or masks in public and in carpools.
Limit gatherings with other households for now — including big events for kids, like birthday parties.
Move social activities outdoors.
