Reunification is the process of controlled release of students. A reunification may be required if certain emergency events occur at school, such as threats to safety in the form of weapon threats, bomb threats, or building evacuations due to extreme weather, gas leaks, or earthquake situations.

Read about the district's reunification process, what parents can expect in the event of an offsite reunification, and how parents will be notified in the event of a reunification by visiting the district website. Thank you for your attention to this important safety protocol. Families are also encouraged to watch this video that outlines the reunification process in schools.

Music and Arts Partners is starting its annual "Dollars for the Arts" campaign to honor Music in our Schools Month and Youth Art Month. Donations can be applied to MAP's general fund, the Lynne Detrick Memorial Instrument Fund, or an arts program/school of your choice. Donations go to several music and arts-related areas in WLWV schools such as instrument repairs, watercolor sets, sketchbooks, tools, and more.

To donate, go to MAP's website. Please access the below PDF for more information about the Dollars for the Arts Campaign.

The West Linn-Wilsonville School Board has officially selected Riverside as the name of the District's third option high school following a thorough community engagement process. The name was selected for a number of reasons:

• Riverside has geographical significance and highlights the school's proximity to the Willamette, Tualatin, and Clackamas Rivers.
• Riverside is distinct and unique among high schools in Oregon.
• Riverside is meaningful to both the West Linn and Wilsonville communities, uniting both with this new school that will draw students from all over the district.

Riverside High School will officially open for the 2023-24 school year. It will be located at the current Athey Creek Middle School site following capital bond improvements. The current Athey Creek Middle School will be relocated to the Dollar Street site where construction of a new middle school is currently underway.

To follow bond project progress, interested community members are encouraged to visit the bond website and sign up for bond updates.

The Clackamas County Public Health Division and local prevention partners advise parents to be aware of the dangers and increased prevalence of opioids and fentanyl within our community. Teens and youth are specifically being targeted online, as social media platforms are increasingly used to buy and sell drugs, many of which are counterfeit. However, resources and supports services are available through Clackamas County, local school districts, and community organizations serving those at risk of substance use.
