The Oregon Tax Code provides an additional tax exemption for parents of eligible children with disabilities in Oregon. The procedure for claiming an exemption for the 2024 tax year is explained in the Oregon Individual Income Tax Return and Instruction booklets.

Who qualifies for the exemption?

A child qualifies if they meet all of the following criteria:

• Qualifies as a dependent of the parent(s) for tax year 2024;
• Is eligible for early intervention services (birth to age 3), early childhood special education services (ages 3 to 5) or receives special education as defined by the State Board of Education of the state where the child attends school; and,
• Is considered to have a disability as of December 31, 2024 under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and related Oregon laws.

What documentation must be submitted with the tax return to qualify for this exemption?

As the tax instruction booklet indicates, the child must have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), as well as a current eligibility statement as a student with a disability. If you do not have these documents contact your District for a copy of the IEP/IFSP cover sheet, and eligibility statement. Copies of the IEP/IFSP cover sheet and eligibility statement are not required to be submitted with the tax return. However, parents are advised to retain a copy with their 2024 tax records as the Oregon Department of Revenue may ask the parents to provide such documentation. If you have any Special Education related questions, please contact your local education provider.

Oregon Department of Revenue Online Instructions and Forms

Oregon income tax forms/publications are available at the DOR website (www.oregon.gov/DOR). This process enables you to claim the additional tax exemption for the 2024 tax year.

Owen's entry was one of the top of 1614 total entries. This is his artist statement, "My piece was about school shootings. I wrote about how I see it being normalized when another shooting occurs and the fears I have as a student of it happening at my school. The door leads to an empty dark classroom after it's happened and each tile on the wall's left represents a death from 1998 to 2024. The tiles on the right were injuries from those shootings and the poster on the door is the total count."

Owen we are so proud of you!

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.

We kindly ask for your support in ensuring that your child remains in class for the full school day. Consistent attendance is vital to their academic progress, as missing even small portions of the day can disrupt their learning and affect their ability to keep up with lessons. By staying in class until the end of the school day, students benefit from uninterrupted instruction, engage in important activities, and have the opportunity to fully participate in discussions and group work. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us provide the best educational experience for your child.

We understand that there are appointments and emergencies. If you need to call the attendance line (503-356-2762) to release your student early, PLEASE allow 30 minutes. Sometimes your student is in PE or the portables or the library. This is a large campus and it takes a time to deliver their passes.

Thank you for your continued support!

Call my student out for the whole day? Call the attendance line 503-356-2760 or email ahs-attendance@beaverton.k12.or.us line. The phone line is updated throughout the day. Please allow us 30 minutes to get a pass to your student.
