Water bottles, lunch boxes, sweatshirts, OH MY!

Please encourage your student(s) to check the back of the cafeteria and/or outside of the lower gym for lost items. Please inquire in the main office if you have lost keys, jewelry, glasses or other smaller items/items of extreme value.

Any items not picked up by the last day of school will be donated.

Do you have a senior who is ready to part with some of their Pacer wear? Students can drop off their gently used Pacer tees, sweatshirts, jackets in the bin near the student store. We will pass it along to our new Pacers and Pacer staff. The bin will be out until the end of the year. We appreciate your help keeping the Pacer spirit alive.

Our Final Exams are coming up quickly. For our Freshman to Juniors, they'll be taking these exams on the following schedule:

• June 8th-- Periods 1, 2 and 4
• June 9th-- Periods 5, 6 and 8
• June 12th--Periods 3 and 7

If you have a conflict with any of the times here, you are welcome to talk with your teachers to see if you can arrange a different time to take that Final. But if you do this, there are a few steps in this process and it's important everyone follow these.

• Step 1: Get a 'Final Exam Change Request' form and fill it out with signatures BEFORE June 6th at 3:30. Requests received after this time will not be approved. You can find this form in the main office outside of the attendance office on the wall.
• Step 2: Final Exams cannot be taken before June 8th (unless you're a Senior), so any rearrangement needs to happen during the Final Exam window.
• Step 3: If you're not able to rearrange a time that works, and your schedule conflict cannot be avoided, please reach out to me (Mr. Hurd) and your teacher and we will arrange a time in the Summer to make-up the exam.

Thank you! Lake Oswego School District voters passed Measure 3-592, with approximately 72% of ballots cast in favor of the local option school levy in the Special Election on May 16, 2023. Renewing the levy protects class sizes, educator positions, instructional days, elective programming, and mental health supports in our school without increasing the current property tax rates. Passing the levy is a big win for our students.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. For the safety of children, volunteers are required to have an approved background check before spending time in our schools or supporting school activities.

Please allow up to three weeks to process your approval. Accommodations may take longer.

Volunteers need to submit only one application for volunteering in all LOSD schools. Applications need to be submitted annually to capture changes in background checks, policies, and/or vaccination requirements.
