Jean Road Lane Closures Throughout the Summer
Beginning in June, when LOSD receives its City permit, traffic on Jean Road will be impacted by lane closures. Traffic flaggers will be present. Improvements to Jean Road will include:
Widening the east half to create turn lanes for the school parking lot
Undergrounding all electrical and telecommunications utilities & new tie-in to city utilities
New street lights and sidewalks
Temporary relocation of the crosswalk for the 2019-2020 school year from Schalit Way to Hill Way
A flashing crosswalk signal will be added at the crosswalk
Temporary sidewalks will be provided for pedestrian traffic between Central Avenue and Bryant Road
Total work is expected to take 4 months
What is a good detour during that time?
Bryant and either Lakeview or Boones Ferry around the north side
Pilkington, Childs and Bryant around the south side

Hallinan Test Kitchen Update
In the month of May, Food Services hosted a test kitchen at Hallinan by offering more allergy-friendly, house-made and organic items. The results are just coming in and being analyzed, but overall it was a hit.
Some of the more popular new offerings included Rice and Beans with chips (Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free), Pulled Pork Sandwich, Beef Sliders (made with all-natural Painted Hills Beef), Chicken Street Taco’s (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free with no cheese), French Toast w/organic blueberry compote, and Cheese Calzone.
We are excited to be able to expand these offering next year to all the elementary school menus.
August/Sept menu is already posted on our website. Check it out!
Have a delicious summer.

The Summer Food Service Program is a federally-funded, state-administered program. The SFSP reimburses providers who serve free healthy meals to children and teens age 18 and younger in low-income areas during the summer months when school is not in session. These sites provide meals to all children age 18 and under with no questions asked or paper work required.
How to Participate in Summer Meals: Show up and eat! To find a summer meal site near you check out this website. https://www.fns.usda.gov/summerfoodrocks

Regular & Repeated Reminders
SafeOregon
If parents are ever concerned about a student’s well-being, feel free to reach out to your principal. It is important to keep your lines of communication open and maintain strong partnerships between students, families, staff, and other resources.
SafeOregon also is an effective way to report a tip regarding safety threats or potential acts of violence to our students or schools.
(Students should also know that intentionally providing a false report is a serious offense.)
