Greetings Findley Families,

What a wonderful treat it was to see so many families today at the Winter Sing-a-Long and for the Winter Parties. This is always a very fun day, indeed.

I hope everyone has a safe and restful break. We will see you back here Tuesday, January 2!

Happy New Year! 🎆

With Gratitude,

Sherry Marsh, Ed.D.

Principal

Are you interested in sharing a piece of your culture? Findley is hosting our 2nd Annual International Extravaganza on February 8 from 5:30-8:00pm. We are so fortunate here at Findley to have students and families that represent so many different cultures from all over the world. We would love to know more about your family's culture.

If you would like to participate, here's a form to indicate your interest:

International Extravaganza 2024

Submissions will be accepted through January 26, 2024

BSD students are given a public library card through BSD’s partnership with Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS).

With the Student Library Card, students can:

• Check out up to five print books or audiobooks from any WCCLS library without any overdue fines

• Borrow ebooks in Sora from BSD and the public library (directions)

• Access Homework Help

• Access additional digital content

For more details about these cards, please see the BSD webpage about the partnership. Public Library Locations: Map and Hours

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AWARD

Findley Elementary School!

Thanks to our generous community, Findley Elementary students will investigate local and state resources and how we use these resources to improve the quality of our lives throughout their 3rd grade year. With this Beaverton’s Choice classroom project, Get Outside! Exploring Our Natural Resources at the Bonneville Dam, a culminating trip to the Bonneville Dam gives a hands on experience to reinforce all they have learned.

Recipients: Amy Clay, Terri Buckley, Kristin Antich, Ed Rodriguez

Students: 100

Amount: $1124 - Funded in part by BEF Building STEAM 4 All Program

Your child's ID number is also their lunch account number. They will use this for hot lunch, in the library to check out books and as 3rd - 5th graders will be part of their email address. (xxxxxx@BSD48.org). This number will be theirs throughout the years they spend in Beaverton School District. Parents should receive a paper copy of their child's ID number when they start school and it can also be found in ParentVue. Please practice this number with your child so they can memorize it and use it as needed throughout the school day. Thank You! 😊

We know that families may change how their student goes home some time. We definitely recommend that this not be a regular thing as it can be confusing for your student / teacher / office.

If you are changing how your student is going home, please make sure you contact the office. You may email fndly-communications@beaverton.k12.or.us or phone 503.356.2100.

Notifying the office allows them to know exactly where your student should be and helps us keep them safe!

Thank you for your help!
