Meet Our Sparrow Carson!
We are excited to share that we are officially a Sparrow Club High School for an amazing young man, Carson. Sparrow Clubs change lives by empowering kids to help kids in medical need through compassion, kindness, and sponsored community service. Today we had our Sparrow "kick-off" assembly during Advisory to meet Carson, and his family and welcome him as an honorary Laker! Ask your student(s) how they can volunteer to help raise $3,000 for Carson.

Presented by past LOHS parent and attorney Michelle-Shari Kruss
When: 5/2/23
Time: 5:30-6:30
Where: Lake Oswego High School Cafeteria
Senior year is a whirlwind filled with visiting colleges, planning and participating in a myriad of senior activities, AP exams, and more. As a family, you have asked and answered questions like, “What college should our soon-to-be graduate go to, or what equally exciting alternative adventure awaits? For the past 18 years, you have been able to be involved in every facet of making these and other important decisions.
Unfortunately, once your child turns 18 they are considered an adult in the eyes of the law. As such, a parent's legal ability to assist with; a medical decision, communicate with a child's physician, negotiate/inquire with an insurance company, address a financial transaction, represent a child in a legal matter, dispute a fraud, transfer medical records, deal with a digital asset (computers, logins, online banking, iCloud, etc.) or speak with academics ends.
You can still have a seat at the table. But to do so you need to complete a few very important legal documents.
Michelle-Shari will be sharing some very eye-opening stories of her young adult clients who have needed one or more of these legal documents.
- Power of Attorney for Health. Physician Advance Directive
- Power of Attorney for Finance
- HIPAA Release Form
- FERPA
- Digital Asset Worksheet
- Temporary Guardianship Affidavit for those of us who will not be empty nesters and still have a minor child at home.
Everyone is welcome. Come with your questions. Handouts will be provided.

While outside, be sure to protect yourself and your student from harmful UV. Visit this link to learn ways to safely enjoy the sun and what to do if your student gets a bit too much.
