Friday, June 11 is a 'B' Day for all schools. To review the remaining school calendar, please visit the district website.

The federal government has granted states authority to provide Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) for the entire 2020-21 school year. Oregon has received approval to begin providing benefits to eligible students. Benefits will be given to families of qualified students retroactively, providing food benefits to families whose children are missing the free or reduced-price meals typically provided at school.

P-EBT is now available for qualified West Linn-Wilsonville families (those who qualify for free and reduced lunch). Families who are eligible are encouraged to sign up for free and reduced lunch now to ensure they receive P-EBT benefits. Families who are signed up for free and reduced lunch are not required to fill out any additional information to receive P-EBT benefits. To learn more, please visit the nutrition services website, or access the informational flier below.

Families can also begin signing up for free and reduced lunch for the 2021-22 school year beginning July 1. For sign up information, please visit the nutrition services website.

Two members of the Long Range Planning Committee will finish their current terms on June 30, leaving two vacancies for interested community members to apply.

The Long Range Planning Committee is a seven member citizen committee responsible for guiding the development of the Long Range Plan, that provides a rational framework for evaluating and addressing future school facility needs as the West Linn and Wilsonville areas grow. Interested community members can learn more about the Long Range Planning Committee on the district website.

INTERESTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO APPLY TODAY

The deadline to apply for the Long Range Planning Committee is July 30, 2021. These are three year positions. Current members whose position is expiring may re-apply.

Thank you to Kim Jordan and Grady Nelson for their service on the Long Range Planning Committee. Kim and Grady served on both the Long Range Planning Committee and Bond Oversight Committee, helping to guide the most recent update of the district's Long Range Plan ahead of the 2019 Capital Bond.

Several Capital Construction Projects are underway across the district, more construction work planned this summer as part of the 2019 Capital Bond. Learn about major bond projects, construction time lines, quarterly reports, and more by visiting the bond website.

Construction will take place at several school sites during the summer.

Students enrolled in the district will have TWO learning options during the 2021-22 School Year:

• Option One: Attend Neighborhood School Fully In-Person, Everyday

We look forward to beginning the new school year with our students fully on-site, every day, for their learning experience. With the recently changed safety protocol of physical distancing (3 feet) by the Oregon Health Authority, all WLWV schools will begin the 2021-2022 school year with five, full days of in-person instruction typical of past years. Students who choose this option can expect a “normal” model of on-site learning.

Optional Blended Learning Courses, G. 9 - 12

We have learned a great deal this year about how a successful format of remote learning can benefit many students. Therefore, we plan to offer several courses in a Blended Learning format (remote and in-person learning) for interested high school students, next year and beyond. Students will have the option to take 1-2 courses online taught by a WLWV teacher, in selected subject areas, while still enrolled in their other courses on-site. Blended Learning courses may vary in their set up. Some may be more structured for whole class participation, occasional on-site labs or check-ins with aligned course pacing. Other classes may be less structured, more individualized, and students will determine their own pace towards completion of their course. Students taking a Blended Learning course can expect to engage in some learning in-person at school and some learning remotely. Students/families can view the Blended Learning options offered at their school when they work with their school on “forecasting” for next year.

• Option Two: Enroll in WLWV K12 Online Academy (WKOA) - Grades K-12

For the 2021-2022 school year, the District will continue offering a fully online, remote learning option for students who reside in the district. The online academy will continue to utilize the K12 Stride (formerly FuelEd) digital curriculum for academic content.

The structure of WKOA (formerly called WKOP) will be set up differently than it was during the pandemic. Read more about the WKOA structure for 2021-22 on the district website.

The Two Learning Options for 2021-2022 School Year visual may be helpful to use when determining a family’s plans for enrollment next year.

June 21 — School Board Work Session: The West Linn-Wilsonville School Board will hold a public work session on Monday, June 21, beginning at 5:45 p.m. Interested community members are invited to join virtually.

June 22 — Last Day of School: The last day of school is June 22 for all WLWV schools.
