Greetings Findley Community~

Hopefully your time meeting with teachers this past week was informative. We love the opportunity to talk with you about our students, their learning, strengths and goals . Additionally, I hope you enjoyed the extra two days you have this week to spend with your Dragons. 🤗

We have one more full week of school before Fall Break. It's a busy one! Hope to see you at our first PTO meeting of the year next Wednesday. More information and agenda is below.

Enjoy the weekend!

With Gratitude~

This year, BEF is running the fundraising efforts for the district's winter break gift card drive. They've dubbed the campaign, "Feed Their Bodies, Feed Their Minds."

As part of that campaign, BEF is trying to be awarded a $10,000 grant from First Tech Credit Union. Please take 30 seconds to fill out this survey to increase its chances of winning. That grant could provide 300+ gift cards to BSD families in need.

When we experience inclement weather, school schedules can be affected — either by a delayed start, early release or school cancellation. The district makes decisions based on the ability of:

• The district to operate school buses safely.

• Students and parents/guardians to drive safely.

• Students to walk to schools or bus stops safely.

• Staff to get to work safely​​.

Decisions are made for the entire district. However, we encourage families to make transportation and attendance decisions for their children based on their own assessment of travel conditions at their locations.

School delays or closures are typically communicated by 5:30 a.m. For the latest information:

• Check the district website. A page pop-up will be posted if there’s a change in school operations. You also can find inclement weather protocols and snow routes online.

• Look for a notification on ParentSquare.

• Follow us on the district’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.

• Tune into media outlets for updates.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Do you have spare sweats/leggings that your student has outgrown? Our health room could use some more sweats/leggings for our students that get wet for one reason or another. (Kindy & 1st we do recommend that your student carry an extra set of cloths with them to school.)

Please drop off any donations to the office during school hours 8:00am-4:00pm.

Thanks!

In case you want to get started, the maps are below.

Thompson Rd between Saltzman and Findley Parking Lot will be closed after Winter Break for approximately 30 days, exact dates to come. Now is the time to think about alternative routes to school. Suggested Detour is noted on this document. More to come in the next couple of weeks.

Applications for 2025-2026 Option Schools will open and be available online on Monday October 14. Students must reside within the Beaverton School District boundary or currently attend a Beaverton School on an approved Interdistrict Transfer in order to apply to an Option school.

Students may only select one Option school on their application. They should give careful consideration to their choice of school. Once an application has been submitted, no changes will be allowed. We strongly encourage online applications.

Applications must be received online or in the Learning Options office no later than Friday, December 13 at 3:00 p.m. PST.

Current 5th-7th grade students and families who are unfamiliar with the Options Application process are invited to attend an Option Fair. The Option Fair will include a presentation on the application process and the opportunity to visit tables hosted by each Option School.

Current 5th-11th grade students and families who are interested in specific Option Schools are encouraged to attend one or more Open Houses hosted at each Option School. Visit the Learning Options webpage for more information and applications, as well as a complete list of Option Fairs and Open Houses.
