SSPAC Hosting Information Night About Executive Function Skills
Are you a parent, teacher or caregiver of a student who struggles with executive function skills? LOSD's Student Services Parent Advisory Committee invites you to a night of exploring tools and ideas to help your student succeed.

Difficulty with executive function is common in children who learn and think differently. All children with ADHD have difficulty with executive function. Many children with learning disabilities struggle with executive function.
More about executive function skills
The three main areas of executive function are:
- Working memory
- Cognitive flexibility/flexible thinking
Inhibitory control/self-control
Executive function is responsible for a number of skills, including:
- Paying attention
- Organizing, planning, and prioritizing
- Starting tasks and staying focused on them to completion
- Understanding different points of view
- Regulating emotions
- Self-monitoring and keeping track of what you’re doing
Spanish Immersion Applications Now Open
LOSD's Spanish Immersion program applications are now open online at losdschools.org/programs. For Spanish Immersion, Lake Oswego School District intakes students who are eligible for kindergarten in the 2020-2021 school year.
Submitting an application is your commitment to the Spanish Immersion program; the program’s school location may change next year as a result of the LOSD elementary school re-boundary study currently in progress.
Spanish Immersion applications received between Nov. 1, 2019, and no later than Feb. 21, 2020, at 3:30 p.m., will be entered into a lottery. LOSD will hold its lottery drawing on Feb. 26, and applicants will be notified of their Spanish Immersion placement by Friday, Feb. 28.
Please note: In addition to submitting your student’s Spanish Immersion application, you must register your incoming kindergartener online either through losdschools.org and/or your school website. Registration for kindergarteners, and all NEW incoming students, opens Jan. 22, 2020.
