Welcome to our new Rachel Carson students and families! All current parents and guardians of CPMS students are automatically members of the PTC.

Our events, programs, school support, and enthusiasm make up this vibrant volunteer community and are indeed, POWERED BY YOU.

The Beaverton Education Foundation (BEF) is a non-profit that's mission is to fund projects and programs at all Beaverton School District schools to impact students' education.

CPMS has benefitted from several grants from BEF - most recently helping to co-fund a clay reconstitution machine for the art department alongside the PTC!

BEF is looking for non-BSD staff who reside in the attendance areas of Beaverton, Mountainside, Aloha, and Southridge High Schools. If you are interested in being on the board or nominating someone, please check out this link to learn more. The time commitment is about 2 hrs a month and is a great opportunity for those who might be new to sitting on a board.

No worries- we got you - Click here to read the meeting minutes from Tuesday, April 19th!

Note that we are looking for a few parents to help plan a 7th grade outing in coordination with teachers, perhaps to OMSI. Please reach out to our volunteer coordinator to get connected, perhaps the first week in June.

The topic for our May 17th, meeting will be elections for open board positions, which includes President, Vice-President, and Co-Director of Volunteers for Rachel Carson (alongside Sue Herson). Please consider being a part of our Board. It is a great way to support your child's school and stay connected to what is going on.

Our final meeting of the year on June 7th, will focus on welcoming the new board and 5K planning items to cover over the summer.

A local election on May 17th is an opportunity to vote to pass a bond for Beaverton School District to update several schools within the district, including Cedar Park. If passed, CPMS would benefit from getting:

• Modernization of the stage for theater performances
• Seismic upgrades
• Continuation of 1:1 Chromebooks for students
• Network upgrades
• Roof replacement
• Additional security cameras
• Water bottle fillers
• Replacement school busses
