Hello Springwater Students and Families,

The 22-23 school year is right around the corner! The first day of school for 9th graders and transfer students is Tuesday, September 6th at 7:35am. All grades will attend school on Wednesday, September 7th. Wednesday is a late start schedule: school begins at 8:35am.

Student schedules should be posted in Synergy (both ParentVue and StudentVue) no later than the end of today, Friday, August 26th. Bus schedule information will also be updated in Synergy sometime next week. We will notify you when this occurs. Thank you for your patience!

Thank you to all families who have updated their registration verification. If you have not completed the process yet, please see the section below for more information and a link to complete registration.

We had a wonderful time welcoming our incoming 9th graders this past week! The weather was perfect for our morning trip to Blue Lake. Thank you to our ambassadors in grades 10-12 who led activities and supported our next generation of Titans!

While the word "normal" has left our vocabulary when it comes to describing school the past several years, I am excited to embark on a more traditional start to our school year. As of right now, masks are optional and physical distancing requirements have been eliminated. We look forward to getting students out of the building and into the community!

Stay safe and take care,

Ryan Blaszak

Springwater Trail High will be providing Free Breakfast to all students this year. Students who are approved for either Free or Reduced-Price meals (FARMS) will also get lunch for free. Students who are not eligible for FARMS will be charged $2.80 for lunch. No student will be denied a meal for lack of payment.

Gresham-Barlow SD sent paper applications to your household address on file. You may also apply online at mymealtime.com in either English or Spanish. Paper applications may be turned in to your school office or the Nutrition Services office, or mailed to Nutrition Services, 1331 NW Eastman Parkway, Gresham, OR 97030.

AT ALL SCHOOLS, a la carte purchases have a cost to the family and must be pre-paid by account or in cash. A la carte purchases include milk without a school meal, bottled water, chips, cookies, and other snack and beverage items that are not part of a school meal.

All students have a meals account that follows them throughout their career at GBSD. This account is accessed when getting a meal using the student ID number, which is also the child’s PIN. Money may be added to the account by sending cash or check with your student to the cafeteria in the morning. Checks should be made out to Gresham-Barlow Nutrition Services. You may also add money by credit card using mymealtime.com. MealTime charges a small transaction fee for online payments.

Parent Verification for the 2022-2023 School Year is now open!

Before the beginning of every school year, we request that parents/guardians review and/or update their family and student information.

Keeping your family's information up to date is crucial to receiving timely communication from Springwater Trail High School and Gresham-Barlow School District and ensures that you can be contacted in case of an emergency. This year all updates can be done online through your ParentVUE account.

After logging in to ParentVUE, click on the "Online Registration" tab in the top right-hand corner to start the verification process.

Don't have a ParentVUE account or have other questions? Please email Herreid@gresham.k12.or.us or call 503-261-4600 to obtain your activation code.

Below are this year's updated Rights & Responsibilities Handbook in English & Spanish. These documents are available on this page of the district website and will also be shared with you when logging into ParentVue. If you would like a paper copy please contact our office at 503-261-4600
