Thank You Mrs. DuPriest
It is with mixed emotions that we announce our esteemed school counselor, Mrs. Jennifer DuPriest, will be moving on to a new position with the Beaverton School District. Mrs. DuPriest has been an outstanding advocate and support for our students, staff, and families at Mabel Rush. Her dedication, compassion, and efforts have significantly impacted our community, and her presence will be greatly missed.
While we are saddened to see her leave, we are also excited for her as she embarks on this new opportunity. We wish Mrs. DuPriest all the best in her new role and are confident that the Beaverton School District will greatly benefit from her expertise and dedication.
Thank you, Mrs. DuPriest, for your incredible service and unwavering commitment to the well-being of our school community.
5th Grade Promotion
On June 13, our 5th grade students participated in a promotion ceremony marking the end of their elementary school years. The event was organized with the support of our teachers and parent group.
Special recognition goes to Mrs. DuPriest for her leadership and coordination efforts, which were key to the success of the ceremony.
We congratulate our 5th graders as they move on to middle school.
Welcome Dr. Radich
At the most recent School Board meeting, Dr. Paula Radich was appointed as the Interim Superintendent of Newberg Dundee School District. Dr. Radich previously served as our Superintendent and brings a wealth of experience and a deep connection to our community.
Planning for Next Year
As we enter summer, we face many uncertainties regarding the upcoming school year. The district’s financial challenges have delayed some of our planning efforts. Over the next few weeks, school district staff will be working to finalize staffing numbers for the 2024-2025 school year..
As more information becomes available, we will send out updates regarding class configurations and other important details. Teacher assignments and class placements may not be finalized until sometime in August. Families can expect to receive class placement information the week before school starts.
We appreciate your patience and support as we navigate this year's different timeline. Thank you for your understanding and continued partnership.
