This 2025 IB EXAM INFO slide presentation is intended to help parents understand how IB testing works, which students are eligible to test (based on their grade level and course), the benefits of testing, and the registration process. We have a cohort of students who are full IB Diploma candidates, but we also have hundreds of additional juniors and seniors opting to take anywhere from one to five IB courses who may also be eligible to test. We encourage students to consider and discuss IB testing with their teachers, especially if colleges they apply to give credit for passing scores.

If your questions are not fully answered in the slide deck, please contact me and I will be happy to talk more about your student’s specific situation. For questions regarding the nature of the test itself, your student’s teacher will be the most informed about the details of the exams.

If you could learn or do something new that has always interested you but you never had the time, what would you do? This month, 10th grade students will set out on their Personal Project path to explore and learn a new subject, topic, skill of their choice.

Past Mountainside students have educated themselves and accomplished amazing objectives on a range of topics including:

• Learning how to snowboard, sew, crochet, wrestle, play electric guitar

• Rebuilding, maintaining car engines

• Getting officially certified to referee fencing

• Writing a letter in a new language to communicate with a family member

• Founding a t-shirt design business

• Composing and recording original music with a new instrument or software

• Painting still life with water colors; writing and illustrating a graphic novel

Below is a time frame of the project from the IB MYP Personal Project Handbook. Students will start by working closely with their Advisory teachers to research, workshop ideas, and determine what the best objective will be for their project. In November, some of our 11th grade students will share their experiences from last year and answer questions for the 10th graders to continue the process of preparing their projects.

The Personal Project is an incredible opportunity for students to practice the skills they have been developing at Mountainside and to prepare them for lifelong learning beyond the classroom. Ask your 10th grade student what they’re thinking about for their Personal Project!

Feel free to email me with any questions you might have: nicholas_godsmark@beaverton.k12.or.us

Each year, Mountainside hosts a Career Fair during Advisory for all of our students in grades 9-12. This event is a fair-style event held in our gym with the various participants hosting tables to share information with students about their profession, the educational path they took for that profession, and to offer general advice about professional skills needed in the workplace. Our goal for this event is to help students learn about the wide range of post-high school career opportunities available to them.

The Career Fair will be held this year on Friday, November 1, 2024. If you are open to talking with students about your profession, we invite you to sign up to volunteer at the Career Fair through the Raptor volunteer system.

As we enter October, I want to review how students and parents might address questions or concerns with teachers, coaches, or advisors. Our district does have a protocol that allows teachers and coaches to respond to concerns first and enables them to clarify any misunderstandings or problems.

Steps to take:

1. Please have your student address their concerns with the teacher/coach first. Our goal is for MHS students to become advocates for their education and experience. This is especially true of our juniors and seniors.
2. If your student's concerns are not addressed how you would like, then we would ask the parent to contact the teacher/coach to discuss those concerns with the student/player.
3. In most cases, the questions/concerns are handled at this point. If those concerns are not addressed, contacting the department administrator or Athletic Director, Bryan Sorenson is appropriate.

• Principal Natalie Labossiere - Athletics, Activities, Counseling, Social Worker, Visual Arts, IB/MYP Coordinator
• Assistant Principal Colby Neal – CTE, Social Studies, PE/Health, Resource, SLPs, School Psych
• Assistant Principal Juan Carlos Gomez - Math, Science, Performing Arts, ELL
• Assistant Principal Rebecca Bair - Specialized Programs, World Language, Language Arts, Success Seminar

If you have any further questions or need clarification on any of this information, please don't hesitate to call the main office at 503-356-3500. We're here to help.

To report your student absent or tardy, please contact the attendance secretary by calling 503.356.3508 or emailing stephanie_marr@beaverton.k12.or.us. The online contact form on the MHS website is no longer accepted for reporting/excusing absences or tardies. For more information, please visit the Attendance page on the MHS website here. Parents/Guardians have 48 hours to excuse tardies and absences.

Attendance Helpful Hints

Checking a student out of school? Here are some tips to make it easy!

• Call or email attendance early in the day we will write a pass for your student to leave at the designated time.
  
• Students may pick up their pass before school, during passing periods or during lunch.
  

• If students have any of the following classes, they often wander the school working on projects and are difficult to locate. Please call ahead so we can make sure they are excused at the right time!

• Digital Filmmaking
• Intro to Digital Filmmaking
• Photography
  
• If your student is being dismissed during a PE period, it can be difficult to locate them in a timely matter as they can be in different locations during the class period. Please call ahead, if possible!

REMEMBER! Students do not have access to their phones during class time, so calling/texting them will not help find them. Making sure they have a pass ahead of time will ensure they leave on time!

• Attendance Phone: (503) 356-3508
• Attendance Email: stephanie_marr@beaverton.k12.or.us

Traffic during the beginning of a school year can be very busy as new parents and new student drivers learn our system. PLEASE BE PATIENT with one another. You can help by leaving the house early and following the directions below:

Adults who wish to drop off students in the morning, or pick students up in the afternoon, are asked to do so using the student parking lot entrance off of 175th Ave. Please stay in the outside lane as your car comes toward the school and continue to pull forward until you reach the drop-off area located by the exit doors of the auditorium. Pulling all the way forward is critical as those who stop and drop off short of the zone end up causing backups behind their car. This creates a safety hazard, as other cars will be coming in from the light and won't have a place to go. Within the first 100 yards of the entrance to the lot, there is a red curb fire lane. There is no stopping or parking in this zone. If cars are backed up to that area, please pull around and circle back through the parking lot. Reminder, this is the STUDENT PARKING lot. PLEASE DRIVE SLOW AND BE CAUTIOUS.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE STAFF LOT for pick-up or drop-off. The Staff Lot is reserved for Staff and for school buses.

We appreciate your assistance in keeping our parking lot safe for our students and community.
