WLWV Community Update

As we near the start of the 2022-23 school year, now is a great time to update your ListServ subscriptions. Make sure to access your ListServ subscriptions and subscribe to your new school if you have a student graduating or changing schools. And don't forget to subscribe to WLWV-Homes to keep up-to-date on important District-level information.

ListServ is the primary method that West Linn-Wilsonville schools communicate with families, sending regular newsletters, timely information, and even emergency notifications. To sign up to get news from your school, simply go to www2.wlwv.k12.or.us/News/LatestNews/ListservSS/ and follow the directions.

Due to COVID-19 state and federal funding for free meals ending, students will need to pay for meals starting in 2022-23. Eligible families are encouraged to apply for the free and reduced meal program. After applying, families will receive a letter notifying them if they’ve been approved. Families need to apply for the free and reduced meal program every year, even if they’ve applied and been approved previously. Applications can be printed or submitted electronically by visiting the district website. Applications are also available at your child’s school.

Schools will also return to our pre-pandemic meal service protocols starting in 2022-23. Please watch this video with your student and visit the nutrition services website for more information about accessing meals during the school day.

Thank you for your attention to this meal service change.

All WLWV students are invited to our Back to School Resource event Aug. 17 at Boeckman Creek Primary from 5-6:30 p.m. There will be school supplies, technology support, and dozens of informational booths and activities for the entire family to utilize and enjoy. We'll also be joined by several community partners. Stop by and get prepared for the first day of school!

This school year, the Standard Response Protocol formerly known as "Lockout" has the new name of "Secure". This change has been made across Clackamas County to avoid confusion with the "Lockdown Protocol." WLWV schools have also added the "Hold" protocol, which is used in situations that require students to remain in classrooms so that hallways are clear. All of the Standard Response Protocols used in WLWV schools can be found below, and more information can be located on the district website.

Drills that are regularly practiced in the district include:

• Lock Down: A Lock Down secures students, staff, and volunteers within classrooms while leaving entrances open for emergency personnel and law enforcement to clear the building.
• Secure: A Secure secures and locks the building's entryways while safely sheltering all students, staff, and visitors inside the school building. This drill allows the school day to continue within the building.
• Evacuate: An Evacuation requires students, staff, and visitors to relocate to another area in the event of a fire, earthquake, or other emergency situation.
• Shelter: A Shelter requires students and staff to take shelter inside the school in the event that hazardous materials are released into the atmosphere, or extreme weather circumstances exist.
• Hold: A Hold is used in situations that require students to remain in their classrooms. For example, a medical issue may require only one are ato be cleared, with halls still open in case outside medical assistance is required. The school day continues as usual during a "Hold."

Families are encouraged to learn more about the District's newest school, Riverside High School, which is set to open for 9th and 10th grade students starting in the 2023-24 school year. The comprehensive school is an option for all high school students in 9th and 10th grade and offers International Baccalaureate options alongside three new Career and Technical Education pathways for interested students. Learn more about Riverside High School today!

Several Capital Construction Projects are continuing this school year with even more construction planned for the coming summer as part of the 2019 Capital Bond. Learn more about major bond projects, construction timelines, quarterly reports, and more by visiting the bond website.

Community members are also encouraged to sign up for project updates through the Capital Bond Project ListServs. Watch progress videos of the New Athey Creek Middle School and Wilsonville High School Auditorium below.
