Lake Oswego School Districted rated #1 in "Best School Districts in Oregon" category.

The District has developed an online registration system that will replace the current paper-based system. We are excited to steamline this process for parents to provide student information to our schools. Online registration for the 2019-20 school year will begin the week of January 21, 2019, for new students who have never enrolled in the District before. Be on the lookout for updates in The Current and the District's website.

To prepare for the switch to online registration, the District will launch the ParentVUE portal for our elementary parents in early January 2019. This portal allows parents of elementary students to view attendance data and state assessment scores, and will, in the future, allow parents to register new students or verify information for enrolled students.

Parents of elementary students who do not already have an active ParentVUE account will soon receive a letter with an Activation Key and instructions on how to set up their ParentVUE account. Please contact your child's elementary school with questions.

Lake Oswego School District's Kindergarten Counts will take place Wednesday, January 23, 2019, at 6:00 p.m. at all elementary schools. This event introduces Lake Oswego parents to the full-day kindergarten program and Extended Day program and ensures that new families are connected to their school. All families with a child who will be five years old by September 1, 2019, are encouraged to attend.

This year Kindergarten Counts will coincide with the debut of the District’s new online registration portal. Rather than providing a paper registration form that night, parents will learn about online registration so that they can later enroll their children from home or wherever they access the internet (no registration via smartphone).

As we edge closer to winter, please review the emergency communications page of our district website which can be found here. The District has a new Twitter account which will be used for emergency communications. Please follow @LOSD_Proud for the fastest way to receive all urgent notifications.

The District recently received the Special Education Audit. It is an important document that will help shape the programs and supports provided to students who receive special education services. The parents of SSPAC would like your feedback on the priorities outlined in the document. Please review the audit here and then please take this 15 minute survey here:

The survey is open from November 30 to December 12. If you have questions, please contact Traci Reiner at reinert@loswego.k12.or.us.

TAG Advisory Committee Application deadline is Friday, December 7. Please return your completed form to: Sharmae Carlisle, Lake Oswego School District, 2455 Country Club Road, P.O. Box 70, Lake Oswego, OR 97034.

For questions please contact Sharmae at sharmae.carlisle@loswego.k12.or.us

Celebrate Bryant Elementary on Saturday, December 8 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

After 52 years of faithful service, Bryant Elementary School will be demolished to make way for the new Lakeridge Junior High.

Join us for an ice cream social to celebrate the students and staff who made Bryant Elementary such a special place. A short speaking program will be held at 3:00 p.m.

Hundreds of students have passed through the Bryant campus and left their mark on the campus—quite literally. Many student artworks are installed and inhabit the Bryant campus, from tiles to mosaics and murals. LOSD is working with the Arts Council of Lake Oswego to document and preserve artwork and memorials at the Bryant site, with input from the community, artists, and professionals. Many methods and options for preservation are available—from photo-documentation to 3D scanning, and reproductions to virtual reality tours. We are excited to explore how we will preserve the contributions to this school. Your photos and stories can be submitted to: BryantMemories@loswego.k12.or.us .

Tuesday, December 11 at 7:00 p.m.

Lakeridge High School, 1235 Overlook Drive; LO

Tickets: $5 at the door

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Women's Foundation of Oregon

with Special Guest Artist University of Oregon Professor Idit Shner

Get Your Tickets for the Annual Foundation Luncheon

Join us for our biggest community celebration of the year! The Foundation luncheon is a wonderful opportunity to meet members of our community and support our students. The event sells out every year -- so be sure to purchase your tickets here today! This year's speaker is Debbie Craig, one of our community's biggest champions, a trustee with Meyer Memorial Trust, and a passionate advocate for public education and the outdoors. Also, as an alumna of Lake Oswego High School and a parent of Lakeridge High School alumni, Debbie will have great stories to share.

The Lake Oswego Rotary Club invites you to nominate staff members, teachers, students, and community members that support Service Above Self: Educational Excellence.

If parents are ever concerned about a student’s well-being, feel free to reach out to your principal. It is important to keep your lines of communication open and maintain strong partnerships between students, families, staff, and other resources.

SafeOregon also is an effective way to report a tip regarding safety threats or potential acts of violence to our students or schools.

(Students should also know that intentionally providing a false report is a serious offense.)
