Kinnaman Community Newsletter
August 2024
Dear Kinnaman Elementary School Community,
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! As we embark on this new academic journey together, I am thrilled to extend a warm and enthusiastic greeting to all our students, families, staff, and community members.
This year, we will continue to implement the Beaverton School District’s strategic plan with a steadfast commitment to the values of Belong, Believe, and Achieve. Our theme for the year, "Grow Together," perfectly aligns with this vision and encapsulates our collective aspirations for the year ahead.
Belong: At Kinnaman Elementary, we believe that every student, family, and staff member is an integral part of our community. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and connected. Through various programs, activities, and open communication, we will work to ensure that each individual feels a strong sense of belonging.
Believe: We hold a deep conviction in the potential of every student. By nurturing a growth mindset and celebrating individual strengths, we aim to inspire confidence and curiosity in our learners. Our educators are committed to providing a rich, engaging curriculum that challenges and supports each child, helping them to believe in their own abilities and potential.
Achieve: Success is a journey we undertake together. We will strive for excellence in all that we do, setting high expectations while providing the necessary resources and encouragement for our students to reach their goals. Our collaborative efforts, along with your support, will pave the way for academic and personal achievements.
Grow Together: We believe if you plant kindness everyone grows together. The essence of our theme, “Grow Together,” is collaboration and mutual support. As we move forward, we encourage active participation from all corners of our community. By working together, sharing ideas, and supporting one another, we can cultivate a thriving and dynamic learning environment.
We are excited about the possibilities that this school year holds and look forward to seeing our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, let us embrace this opportunity to make a positive impact and create lasting memories.
Thank you for being a vital part of the Kinnaman Elementary School community. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead where we all grow together!
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year, Coyotes!

Car Pick Up and Drop Off
Drivers should alternate entry into the parking lot one car at a time from each lane. In order to keep traffic flow moving, drivers are asked to remain in vehicles.
Students who do not ride the bus, walk, or ride their bike are dropped off and picked up in the parking lot on the north side of the school. If it is after 8:30 a.m., students should be dropped off at the main entrance in the front of the school.
Bus Transportation
Our Transportation Department will be notifying families about bus routes. Families can learn more on our transportation webpage.
If you haven’t done so already, please reapply to be a volunteer or visitor in the Beaverton School District. We’re implementing a new volunteer management system and need time to process and complete the criminal background checks for all applicants.
Please note, that to enter the school building during regular student hours, you must have completed the background check. It takes about 10 days to process so please plan ahead.
Start on the Volunteer webpage on the district website. The entire process — including the review of the Child Abuse Prevention & Reporting and Adult Sexual Misconduct training materials — should take less than 10 minutes to complete.
Thank you for prioritizing our students’ safety and for your willingness to volunteer in BSD.
