Beginning in June, when LOSD receives its City permit, traffic on Jean Road will be impacted by lane closures. Traffic flaggers will be present. Improvements to Jean Road will include:

• Widening the east half to create turn lanes for the school parking lot

• Undergrounding all electrical and telecommunications utilities & new tie-in to city utilities

• New street lights and sidewalks

• Temporary relocation of the crosswalk for the 2019-2020 school year from Schalit Way to Hill Way

• A flashing crosswalk signal will be added at the crosswalk

• Temporary sidewalks will be provided for pedestrian traffic between Central Avenue and Bryant Road

• Total work is expected to take 4 months

What is a good detour during that time?

• Bryant and either Lakeview or Boones Ferry around the north side

• Pilkington, Childs and Bryant around the south side

The District is excited to roll out a new online verification process this summer. LOSD parents are invited to log into ParentVUE to review and update important information for their students for the 2019-20 school year. The District will save money by not printing and mailing paper verification forms for all its students. Beginning Monday, July 29, online verification will go live. Find more information here: https://www.losdschools.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=5830

As part of the district's ongoing security efforts, the Raptor Visitor Management System will be rolled out this year. The system uses a person's drivers license to check the sex offender registry database. Please stop by your school this summer, on Wednesday mornings, to have your information input into the system. You can find more information here:

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 is also 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.)
