Hiteon Community,

We kicked off this month with a very successful Fun Run! Our students gave it their all, and our adults joined in the spirit with inflatable costumes that truly put the FUN in Fun Run! Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome our newest families at Kindergarten Orientation next Wednesday. If you have neighbors with kindergarten-age children, please encourage them to attend. This evening is an important opportunity to help families get registered, learn more about Hiteon, and also help the district determine our kindergarten enrollment and staffing for next year. I also want to extend my sincere thanks to all of the families who joined us for conferences, as well as for the thoughtful treats in the staff room and the dinner provided on Wednesday evening, your support means so much. Our community is strong because of the partnership between families and teachers, and we are truly grateful for each of you. Wishing you a wonderful month of May!

Janet Maza, Principal

Why 7:44? Because at 7:45 am, the learning fun begins! Being in the classroom by 7:44 means your child is ready to roll when the bell rings. Every Minute Matters! Arrive on time = start the day with a smile. No rushing, no missing morning fun. Builds habits that help kids shine for a lifetime.

Tips to Beat the Clock: Pick out clothes and pack backpacks the night before. Set an earlier “leave the house” time than you think. Try to be on campus by 7:35 am for a calm start.

Please note that the doors will close at 7:45 a.m., and students arriving after this time will be counted as tardy. Let’s make mornings smooth and start every day strong!

5th graders PICK favorite books for the k-4 crowd. It is now an annual thing...the kids love doing it and remembering all the stuff they read k-4.

These amazing 5th graders shared what they loved about OBOB and did trivia to get the 3rd graders excited for next year.

Beaverton Safe Routes to School Parent Surveys

It’s data collection time again for Beaverton’s Safe Routes to School program. The purpose of this program is to make walking and biking to school safe, convenient, and fun.

Parents’ and guardians’ input into how students travel to and from schools and their impression of the safety of the route is valuable as the city and county prioritize needed improvements for our roads.

The following links will take you to a district survey and will be combined with classroom tallies to give us a good picture of how students get to and from schools throughout the district.

The district survey will be open for responses for approximately four weeks from May 1st until May 31st. We appreciate your assistance providing us information to make the Safe Routes to School program effective for all Beaverton School District students.

Beaverton Rutas Seguras a la Escuela: Encuestas para Padres

Es hora de recopilar datos nuevamente para el programa Rutas Seguras a la Escuela de Beaverton. El propósito de este programa es hacer que caminar y andar en bicicleta a la escuela sea seguro, conveniente y divertido.

La opinión de los padres y tutores legales sobre cómo viajan los estudiantes hacia y desde las escuelas y su impresión de la seguridad de la ruta es valiosa ya que la ciudad y el condado priorizan las mejoras necesarias para nuestras carreteras.

Los siguientes enlaces lo llevarán a una encuesta del distrito y se combinarán con los recuentos del salón de clases para darnos una buena idea de cómo los estudiantes van y vienen de las escuelas de todo el distrito.

La encuesta del distrito estará abierta para recibir respuestas por cuatro semanas desde el 1 de mayo hasta el 31 de mayo. Agradecemos su ayuda en brindarnos información para hacer que el programa de Rutas Seguras a la Escuela sea efectivo para todos los estudiantes del Distrito Escolar de Beaverton.

We want to remind everyone of the importance to follow the BSD traffic flow map for Hiteon's arrival and dismissal procedure. For those parents that do car drop off and pick up the safety of our students, parents and community is of upmost importance. We want to assure that traffic flows as smooth as possible in our parking lot as well as on our neighboring streets.

Please remember that the ONLY EXIT from the Hiteon parking lot is the Brockman Driveway and to ALWAYS ONLY TURN RIGHT out of the parking lot. DO NOT EXIT LEFT. THERE IS A NO LEFT TURN SIGN. This will assure that the traffic does not backup into the parking lot.

"Dear Hiteon Families,

If your family could use a little extra help right now, please remember that our Hiteon food pantry is stocked with non-perishable staples, such as beans, rice, pasta, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned soups, instant mashed potatoes, canned tuna and chicken, chicken broth, oatmeal, boxed milk, and more.

To access food boxes from our pantry, you can fill out our Google Form by clicking here or going to https://bit.ly/2025hesfood to request a food box, and we’ll be in touch. You can also ask your student's teacher or call the main office at 503-356-2140 and ask to speak with Rachel, our school social worker. You can also email Rachel at rachel_spooner@beaverton.k12.or.us. Please do not hesitate to reach out. Our Hiteon community has been very generous in ensuring we have plenty of food to offer for any in need. If transportation is a barrier, we will work with you to find a way to get food to your home."

Feel free to make any edits or adjustments you think are needed!

Thank you,

Rachel Spooner, LCSW

Murrayhill's Best hosted a Parents Night Out in April was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!!!!

They presented Harley with a check for $1487 from their fundraising efforts on that night.

Thank you to all the parents and students that participated and to Murrayhill's Best 💙💙💙

It has come to our attention that there’s a need for clarification regarding school volunteers and whether they are required to sign in through the Raptor kiosk. In short, the answer is YES.

While volunteers may use the Raptor Safe app to sign up for events in advance, this action does not constitute official check-in upon arrival. Signing up through the app simply indicates intent to participate, it does not sign them into the event. This distinction is critical for two key reasons:

1. Mandatory Sex Offender Screening: The real-time background check is only triggered when a volunteer checks in at the on-site Raptor tablet kiosk. Without this step, the required screening doesn’t occur.

2. Emergency Accountability: If a volunteer is not signed in through the kiosk, the school has no record of their presence on campus. This poses a serious risk in the event of an emergency where accurate headcount and location tracking are essential.

Every volunteer must physically check in at the kiosk each time that they arrive on campus. This is the only way to ensure compliance with safety protocols and to maintain a secure environment for our students and staff.

If you haven't done your background check to volunteer at Hiteon, you can start on the Volunteer webpage on the district website. The entire process — including the review of the Child Abuse Prevention & Reporting and Adult Sexual Misconduct training materials — should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

Thank you for prioritizing our students’ safety and for your willingness to volunteer in BSD.
