Message from the Principal
We have three and a half weeks left of the 2023-2024 school year! Can you believe it?
Included in this edition of the Dragon News is a link to our annual Parent Input Form. Now is your opportunity to let us know anything about your student(s) to inform our decisions around class assignments for the 2024-2025 school year. While we don't accept requests for specific teachers, we do consider the information you share in this form to aid in decision making when assigning teachers.
Lastly, our school carnival is two weeks away! Please see the information and video below to get pumped up for this year's big event.
Have a great weekend!
With Gratitude,
Sherry Marsh, Ed.D.
Principal

Beaverton Safe Routes to School Parent Surveys
It’s data collection time again for Beaverton’s Safe Routes to School program. The purpose of this program is to make walking and biking to school safe, convenient, and fun.
Parent’s and guardian’s input into how students travel to and from schools and their impression of the safety of the route is valuable as the city and county prioritize needed improvements for our roads.
The following links will take you to a district survey and will be combined with classroom tallies to give us a good picture of how students are getting to and from schools throughout the district.
The district survey will be open for responses for approximately four weeks from May 1st until May 31st. We appreciate your help in giving us information to make the Safe Routes to School program effective for all Beaverton School District students.
Beaverton Rutas Seguras a la Escuela: Encuestas para Padres
Es hora de recopilar datos nuevamente para el programa Rutas Seguras a la Escuela de Beaverton. El propósito de este programa es hacer que caminar y andar en bicicleta a la escuela sea seguro, conveniente y divertido.
La opinión de los padres y tutores legales sobre cómo viajan los estudiantes hacia y desde las escuelas y su impresión de la seguridad de la ruta es valiosa ya que la ciudad y el condado priorizan las mejoras necesarias para nuestras carreteras.
Los siguientes enlaces lo llevarán a una encuesta del distrito y se combinarán con los recuentos del salón de clases para darnos una buena idea de cómo los estudiantes van y vienen de las escuelas de todo el distrito.
La encuesta del distrito estará abierta para recibir respuestas por cuatro semanas desde el 1 de mayo hasta el 31 de mayo. Agradecemos su ayuda en brindarnos información para hacer que el programa de Rutas Seguras a la Escuela sea efectivo para todos los estudiantes del Distrito Escolar de Beaverton.
