Tiger Beat September 27th, 2024

We will continue with our Soup with the Super nights again this year. Come join us as we discuss the many issues important to our district, including:

• Special Education
• Budget
• Academics
• Upcoming Bond

Some of these will be a presentation, and others will be more of a discussion. Depending on the topic, school board members and/or other district administrators will be there to help provide information and answer questions.

Be sure to watch the Bandon School District 54 Facebook page for announcement of dates and topics.

Do you know a current Bandon staff member who has made a difference in your life, the life of a child, or to the community? It can be any employee: a teacher, or an educational assistant, a bus driver or a secretary or a food service worker, an administrator or a custodian. Our district is filled with great staff!

Students & Staff Give Back

Students and staff spent the day giving back to the community that gives so much to them by working at a variety of locations throughout town!!

They helped helped clean Gross Creek, partnered with the Port of Bandon to work throughout Old Town, picked up garbage along the beach from Devils Kitchen to the South Jetty, helped with projects at the Bandon Youth Center, weeded flower beds at the community garden, visited and played games with residents at West Wind Court and Still Water senior living facilities, cleared brush and worked on the walking path at Bandon Heights and worked to help with projects and cleaning at the Bandon Public Library.

This is a day many staff and students look forward to each year!

We appreciate everything our community gives to our schools.

Student cell phones are to be in their Yondr pouch while in the building. Students may have their cell phones out during lunch time only.

Parents you may access your students grades and attendance by logging into your ParentVUE account. If you do not know your ParentVUE log in information please contact the office and they will be happy to provide you with that information.

Our office's main way of parent communication is via email. We email out weekly announcements every Monday, as well as any pertinent information that may come up through out the week. If you are not receiving our emails, please call our office to double check the contact information we have on file is correct.

Please take the time to check your Parent Vue account on a regular bases. It is a great way to help your student(s) keep track of grades and assignments, as well as a convenient way to communicate with their teachers. You can access your account by clicking on the black bar above, or you can download the APP in your APP store so you can save your log in information and access your account quickly from your phone.

The Lion's club will be in the district on September 30th to give every student a vision screening.

All of our students should have signed a behavior agreement form that acknowledges that they have reviewed the student handbook, and know what the behavior expectations are at HLMS. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to review the student hand book (link below) as well.

Just a reminder, students are not allowed to have cell phones out during school hours. We require them to be kept off and in their locker or backpack during the day. This includes breaks and at lunch. Please encourage your student to come to the office or their teachers if they have a concern or need help instead of reaching out to you via cell phone during the day. This way we can help make sure that all your student's needs are being met. We have a student phone available in the commons that is always available.

October 2nd is Picture Day- Picture packets were sent home with your child. You can also order online with this link: https://Portraitmasters3120.simplephoto.com/prepay/48315873?code=BSOCE1024

Valley Flora wanted to alert you to a few new programs that we - and other NW farms - are spearheading in in order to make fresh, local produce more accessible to low income families in our community. We’re trying to get the word out as widely as possible. If you have a spot to hang a poster (attached below), or room for a mention in your next newsletter, that would be wonderful! We are happy to provide you with a color-printed poster, just let us know! Also, please feel free to forward this email to anyone in your networks who would benefit from knowing about these programs.

• Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB): a program that helps low-income Oregonians purchase more fruits and vegetables while supporting local, family farms. Folks with SNAP benefits can purchase one of our farm’s community supported agriculture (CSA) shares and DUFB will provide 1:1 matching funds (they pay half the cost of the CSA with SNAP and DUFB covers the other half). It's a win-win that strengthens our community by providing better access to fresh, healthy food while helping local farmers earn a living.

• CSA Sliding Scale: our farm is offering a voluntary sliding scale payment system in order to make our food more accessible to everyone in the community. It’s been a beautiful example of community - and humanity - at its best.
