WLWV Community Update

Please help provide the district with pivotal feedback by attending Part Two of our Student Success Act Community Forum. The public forum will be held on Thursday, March 12, beginning at 6 p.m. at the District Office; 22210 SW Stafford Road, Tualatin.

In November, the West Linn-Wilsonville community provided crucial feedback to help the district make improvements that reduce academic disparities and meet students' mental or behavioral health needs. That input shaped the district's Continuous Improvement Plan, which was submitted to the Oregon Department of Education and approved in December.

The West Linn-Wilsonville School District is now eligible to apply for and receive approximately $7.6 million in grant funds. As part of that application, the district requires additional community input.

Community members can provide feedback through an online survey if they are unable to attend the March 12 Community Forum.

For an overview of the district's Student Success Act progress, and how this feedback will help the district prepare its Student Investment Account Grant Application, please watch the following informational webinar.

Community is important to Pamplin Media Group and that’s why we choose to honor Amazing Kids in our local areas each year. We are looking for those special youth who rise above the crowd in all manner of ways. They might be sports stars, or academic champs or entrepreneurs but most of all they are the helpers. They show through their actions the hope and promise of the next generation.

Amazing Kids will be selected by newspaper staff for each of the areas covered by Pamplin Media Group. The Amazing Kid’s photo and a professionally written story about them will appear in a special section, online and in advertisements. The Amazing Kids and their guests will be invited to attend a special gala event on Monday, May 11th, 2020, at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, honoring their contributions to their community.

Deadline for nominations has been extended to 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, March 11, 2020. Click here to nominate a student.
