Our annual Field Day event is just over a week away and we wanted to share a few details about the event to help your child prepare for an awesome day.

Below is the Field Day schedule for Wednesday, June 12th:

8:30 - 10:30 Field Day Events for grades K - 2 and Seitz's ALC class

10:45 - 11:15 Whole School Lunch. Please note: Parents must volunteer to help during a field day session to be on campus for lunchtime. All volunteers will sign in the lobby.

11:30 - 1:30 Field Day Events for grades 3-5 and Therrien's ALC class

The weather forecast for Field Day looks sunny and amazing! Please make sure your student wears sunscreen. It would also be helpful for students to bring a water bottle to help stay hydrated while they are out on the field. There will be 2 break stations with water, but water bottles for the rest of the day are highly recommended.

Many parents have already signed up to help with Field Day - thank you!!! If you are interested in being part of the day, please access MyImpact for shifts that are still available. There are 22 stations for Field Day (both morning and afternoon sessions) and each station needs 2 volunteers, so we appreciate having many adults here to join in the fun! By signing up in MyImpact volunteers are able to choose the station that they would like to supervise. All volunteers must have a background check and sign in at the office before attending Field Day.

Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS) scores for individual students are located in ParentVue. Test outcomes can be ready as early as 10 days after your child submits a test. If they are still in make-up testing mode for ELA, Math, or Science OR just completed a performance task or computer adaptive test, it is still processing.

From the ParentVue Main Menu, select Test Scores to see a list of completed tests with a scale score and performance level by content area. For more information about OSAS Achievement Level Descriptors (by grade level) and Scoring Guides, please visit the Beaverton School District Assessment Page at:

Who: Family and friends of Oak Hills 5th graders

What: Celebration of accomplishments and wishing our 5th graders all the best as they leave Oak Hills

When: Wednesday, June 12 @ 2:15pm

Guests can arrive any time between 1:50-2:15pm to find a spot along the designated route.

Map below of route:

When families/guests arrive, please find a spot along the designated route. Look for colored cones starting at the front door and wrapping the building near the bus lane to indicate standing areas for spectators. Please stand as close to the building as possible, keeping the sidewalk open for 5th graders.

As weather warms up, we are seeing more students riding bikes and walking to and from school each day. Crossing guards and neighbors are reporting drivers traveling at high rates of speed and driving through stop signs, presenting the potential for safety concerns on our surrounding streets. We have reached out to Washington County to request their support in patrolling the areas during arrival and dismissal times to ensure drivers are using caution.

If you notice any traffic concerns, you can reach out to directly to Washington County through the link below:

If you see an officer in the immediate neighborhood, they are likely offering their support to Oak Hills to ensure drivers are traveling responsibly. Thank you for exercising caution when traveling through our surrounding neighborhoods.

Absences and dismissal changes can be reported to us via the Oak Hills website. There are buttons where you can click and report an absence or changes to how your child will be going home.

For dismissal, please do your best to report the changes before 1:00pm since this is when we will be delivering the information to our teachers and students. If it is after 1pm, please call the main office to report the change and not the website button.

Thank you in advance for utilizing this communication tool. It will free up our phone lines for families, staff, and community members who urgently need to get in touch with the office.
