Is your student's information up to date?
Time to verify your information in our system. Are you wondering if your information is complete? Eighty-six students have emergency contacts listed without phone numbers. It would be hard to reach them.
Log into ParentVUE and review/update your students' information through the Register/Verify tab. If you have forgotten your ParentVUE password, go to the login page, click "I am a Parent," then click "Forgot Password." Contact your student's school if you need clarification on whether you have a ParentVUE account. For assistance with the verification process, refer to the user guide on the LOSD website or contact your student's school.
CommuniCare
The students in Link Crew Leadership class have been working with CommuniCare, a youth grantmaking program of The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation. Through this program, the class selects an area of focus and donates money to nonprofit organizations working towards their chosen service area. Student groups are guaranteed $7,500 from The CARE Foundation for their grantmaking and can double those funds by raising an additional $750, which CARE matches 10:1, up to a maximum gift of $15,000. The class has been collecting our school's cans and bottles all year and we exceeded our fundraising goal, resulting in a total of $17,070 for grants!
Our class chose to donate to nonprofits who provide shelter and mental health services to homeless youth in the Portland Metro Area. This year, we are donating $10,070 to Janus Youth Programs and $7,000 to Transition Projects.
Do you have a child graduating from LOHS?

When: 5/2/23
Time: 5:30-6:30
Where: Lake Oswego High School Cafeteria
Senior year is a whirlwind filled with visiting colleges, planning and participating in a myriad of senior activities, AP exams, and more. As a family, you have asked and answered questions like, “What college should our soon-to-be graduate go to, or what equally exciting alternative adventure awaits? For the past 18 years, you have been able to be involved in every facet of making these and other important decisions.
Unfortunately, once your child turns 18 they are considered an adult in the eyes of the law. As such, a parent's legal ability to assist with; a medical decision, communicate with a child's physician, negotiate/inquire with an insurance company, address a financial transaction, represent a child in a legal matter, dispute a fraud, transfer medical records, deal with a digital asset (computers, logins, online banking, iCloud, etc.) or speak with academics ends.
You can still have a seat at the table. But to do so you need to complete a few very important legal documents.
Michelle-Shari will be sharing some very eye-opening stories of her young adult clients who have needed one or more of these legal documents.
- Power of Attorney for Health. Physician Advance Directive
- Power of Attorney for Finance
- HIPAA Release Form
- FERPA
- Digital Asset Worksheet
- Temporary Guardianship Affidavit for those of us who will not be empty nesters and still have a minor child at home.
Everyone is welcome. Come with your questions. Handouts will be provided.

Bike Safety
As the weather improves, it’s a great time to consider getting outside. Your District Nurses want to remind and encourage your student to ride their bike safely and remember to wear a helmet. These resources can help your student get off to a great start.
Sun Safety
While outside, be sure to protect yourself and your student from harmful UV. Visit this link to learn ways to safely enjoy the sun and what to do if your student gets a bit too much.
Individualized Health Plan? - Watch for an Email
If your child has a LOSD Individualized Health Plan (IHP) developed in consultation with your District Nurse, please watch for an email! Your response is needed to confirm or update your student's plan. We appreciate your prompt response..
