Backpack Club News

Thank you to everyone who participated in the first-ever Lake Oswego High School 4K YOUR WAY! Through sponsorships, donations, and participant registrations we were able to raise over $8,000 – enough to provide weekend nutritional support for students at Whitman Elementary School and Edward Byrom Elementary School for the entire school year!

The Backpack Club’s mission is to partner with Blessings in a Backpack to provide food on the weekends for school-age children who might otherwise go hungry. We raise money, purchase food, pack the food into sacks, and deliver the sacks to the schools. Then, every Friday, the sacks are placed by school staff into the backpacks of students who need this extra support.

“The kids at my school who receive weekend packs need Blessings because their families are struggling with trauma, houselessness, poverty, marginalization.”

Oregon State Assessment Opt-Out Form

Each school year, Oregon students take assessments to meet federal requirements. The purpose of these assessments is to provide data that schools can use to ensure that every child is on track and achieving learning goals.


State law requires us to inform you that a form is available from the State Department of Education that allows you to opt your child out of the math and English Language Arts assessments for the current school year. Should you wish to opt out your child, fill out the form and submit it to the main office at your child’s school. Please note the submission deadlines listed on the form. Meeting the deadline will help the school with planning and preparation. If you wish your child not to participate in the science assessment for grades 5, 8, and 11, submit this request in writing to the principal of your child's school.

If you have questions or want more information about state assessments, please contact your child’s principal or teacher(s).
