It is important to us that all our students have what they need in regard to technology. We rely on technology on a consistent basis in the classroom. If you happen to have a device or charger at home from last school year, please send it back to school with your child as soon as possible. Thank you.

We know that weather can sometimes be unpredictable in Oregon and at times, students may need to access their learning from home for the day if we need to close school. In order for us to be prepared to best support you and your child, please take a couple minutes to fill out this technology survey so we can get you connected with the right items. Thank you!

Did you know we have Prestige Theatre Tickets available for purchase at the school? Tickets will be available on a first come, first served basis for $6.75 each and can be used at the Sandy Cinema. Some restrictions apply. If you have questions about this, give our office a call.

If you wish to send snacks or gifts for your child’s birthday, the office will be happy to call your student out of class to see their surprise. To minimize classroom disruptions, our policy is to keep flowers, balloons, gifts, etc. in the office until the end of the day. When the student is released for the day, they can pick up their gift and take it home. Please contact your child’s teacher to make necessary arrangements for celebrations that can be scheduled at a time that is compatible with the day’s learning schedule. State law requires that snacks fit the healthy criteria for the Oregon Smart Snack law.
