In recognition of September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, West Linn-Wilsonville social workers are offering a QPR (Question, Persuade and Refer) training for our community members on September 30, 2022. While this training is limited to 30 participants, it will be offered again this school year. Interested community members can sign up with this link.

The West Linn-Wilsonville Family Empowerment Center and Clackamas Community College Community Education are collaborating to bring computer literacy, English, Spanish and Chinese learning to interested WLWV parent-guardians and families. All members of the WLWV community are invited to participate in the Classes at NO COST to you. Visit the FEC webpage to learn more about opportunities. We'd love for you to join us!

About once or twice a month, students are released from school two hours early for the District's Professional Growth Wednesdays. Those two hours are used as time for teacher learning, giving staff an opportunity to collaborate and engage in professional development.

That work leads to better teachers and, in turn, better education for students. Mark your calendars for the following Professional Growth Wednesdays this school year. Please note that some Professional Growth Wednesdays affect primary schools only, so if you have students in middle or high school, they may experience a regular school day. Those instances are marked as PRIMARY LEVEL ONLY Professional Growth Wednesdays.

The Canby Latinx Network (CLN) is presenting a culturally relevant focus event for LatinX Families, on how Latino families across Multnomah and Clackamas Counties can prevent youth substance abuse in their homes.

This event will have two formats, in person and virtual. Multnomah County and Clackamas County will connect via zoom for a keynote speaker, followed by county-specific activities and workshops for families. Clackamas County will meet in Canby. Please see the flyer attached for more information. This event will be completely in Spanish.

The WLWV Family Empowerment Center will provide a workshop from one of our FEC-CCC Community Ed Instructors and parents, Mr. Bagner Sandoval, who will teach a computer skills class during the event. Please see the attached event for more information.

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 wanting information about resources and additional community partners are encouraged to access the district's Community Bulletin Board. The Community Bulletin Board is where community partners share relevant flyers and information about youth sports, camps and outside learning opportunities, enrichment opportunities, fundraisers, and other community-based opportunities. Community members can also post information to the Community Bulletin Board by submitting a PDF.

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.
