WLWV Community Update

The School Board Adopted the Proposed 2024-25 Calendar during the Jan. 22 meeting. 2024-25 Calendars for the Primary, Middle, and High School level are available on the district website now.

Key dates include:

• First Day of School — Aug. 27
• Winter Break — Dec. 22 - Jan. 3
• Spring Break — March 24 - 28
• Last Day of School — June 9

As a reminder, the school year begins before Labor Day to allow for increased instructional time for High School students taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses in preparation for AP Exams, to better align with the OSAA schedule, and to plan for potential inclement weather closures to avoid ending the school year late in June.

The West Linn-Wilsonville School District's new primary school is currently under construction and will open for the 2025-26 school year. In preparation for the school's opening, the district is seeking community input to select the school's name. Interested community members can submit a suggestion through this online survey. The survey is closing on Friday, Jan. 26 at 5 p.m. Thank you for your participation!

To learn more about the new primary school, including construction progress, please visit the capital bond website.

West Linn-Wilsonville parent-guardians are invited to learn more about the K-5 Literacy Adoption Process and provide input during an in-person session on January 31 at 6:30 p.m. at the West Linn-Wilsonville District Office; 22210 SW Stafford Road, Tualatin.

Parent-guardians will receive an overview of the K-5 Literacy Adoption process as well as examples of the three programs the K-5 Adoption Team is considering. Parent-guardians will then have the opportunity for questions and feedback that the Adoption Team will use as they make a final selection to recommend to the WLWV School Board in March.

There will be another session later in February for parent-guardians to provide input about the curriculum program the Adoption Team plans to recommend. For those who are unable to attend on Jan. 31, the district will provide meeting information and an online input form on the district website.

Families of incoming kindergarten students who are interested in the dual language are invited to upcoming information sessions. Learn more about dual language on the district website. We hope to see you there!

• Trillium Creek Primary School (Spanish Dual Language Program) — March 6, 5:45 - 6:45 pm
• Lowrie Primary School (Spanish Dual Language Program) — February 21, 5:30 - 6:30 pm
• Bolton Primary School (Chinese Dual Language Program) — February 29, 6 - 7 pm

Respiratory depression (shallow or absent breathing) is a hallmark sign of opioid overdose, potentially culminating in a stupor or unconsciousness, cyanosis (bluish or grayish discoloration around lips and nail beds), and lack of oxygenation to vital organs resulting in a heart attack and death. Call 911 immediately if you suspect an overdose. Opioid ingestion can be confirmed once the patient is alert, but naloxone treatment should begin before confirming if opioid overdose is suspected. Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is available in WLWV middle and high schools, as are staff members who have been trained to administer it.

Know the signs of an opioid overdose:

• Pinpoint pupils
• Slow, shallow, or no breathing
• Gurgling or snoring
• Difficult to wake or can’t wake
• Extreme drowsiness
• Cold, clammy skin
• Gray or blue skin, fingernails, or lips

The West Linn-Wilsonville School District uses HelpCounter for volunteer registration and sign-in to increase safety and security for all students. Interested volunteers can register to volunteer in WLWV schools by visiting the Volunteer Registration webpage. Simply select 'Start' to fill out your application, which includes a background check. The first time that volunteers sign-in to volunteer at any WLWV school they will be prompted to accept a Volunteer Agreement.

Volunteers must also re-register every three years, or when volunteering at a new school. Note that volunteer coaches register through a different process. Contact your school's athletic director or principal for more information.

Volunteering in WLWV schools is an extremely rewarding experience. Your time is greatly appreciated by both staff and students!

Families wanting information about resources and additional community partners are encouraged to access the district's Community Bulletin Board. The Community Bulletin Board is where community partners share relevant flyers and information about youth sports, camps and outside learning opportunities, enrichment opportunities, fundraisers, and other community-based opportunities. Community members can also post information to the Community Bulletin Board by submitting a PDF.

There are currently several job opportunities for prospective community members. Openings include Nutrition Services, Paraeducators, and various teaching and coaching opportunities. Learn more, or apply, by visiting our website.
