Beaverton Junior/Senior High School -

8th-12th Grade Open House: Hello, Beaverton Students and Parents, The 8th -12th grade open house scheduled for Wednesday, August 26th has been cancelled. Later this week, a video will be shared that will show the new processes and procedures for the upcoming school year. In addition to the video, each grade level has a designated day where students that are attending school to receive face-to-face instruction can come with one adult to get their class schedule, new locker information and student handbook. Everyone entering the building must wear a mask. Here is the schedule: 8th grade is on Tuesday, August 25th: (same locker as last year) 9th grade is on Wednesday, August 26th: (new lockers) 10th grade is on Thursday, August 27th: (new lockers) 11th and 12th grade is on Friday, August 28th: (same locker as last year) You may come to the school on your designated day between 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Thank you for being patient if you have to wait to enter the building as there is a limit to how many people are allowed in the building at once. Lastly, please note that student e-mails have changed. The name part is still the same. However, the domain has changed to: @beavertonschools.net.

MHSAA announces today that football season is postponed to the spring. We are thinking of the Beaverton Football Players, coaches and families. We look forward to seeing the Beavers in action this spring. GO RED! https://www.mhsaa.com/Portals/0/Documents/AD%20Forms/MHSAA%20Guidance%206.pdf

7th GRADE OPEN HOUSE Seventh grade orientation has been rescheduled from Wednesday, August 19th to Friday, August 21st from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. for students that are attending school to receive face-to-face instruction. Your 7th grade Student can come to the school office with one adult to get their class schedule, student handbook, practice their locker and get a tour of the building. Everyone entering the building must wear a mask. Please be patient if you need to wait to enter the building, as there is a limit on the number of people allowed at one time. If you are not able to attend on Friday, August 21st, please call the office to schedule an appointment.

Good evening everyone. I have a few updates to share with you regarding the start of the school year this fall: 1) We have received several questions about students returning to face to face instruction and mask exemptions. If you are seeking a mask exemption for your child, the school will need a Dr’s note clearly stating they are unable to wear a mask during school. We will not be able to accept a Dr. note stating your child has asthma, as example. The Dr. note must address your child’s inability to wear a mask while at school. Again, providing documentation that your child has respiratory issues does not automatically exempt them from wearing a mask. 2) A friendly reminder, students and families have until August 14th to sign up for Beaverton Virtual Academy. This is our virtual, online learning program. 3) Finally, any student who is going to be a virtual,online learning student, may still take their visual performing applied arts credit at the school. For example, a virtual, online student is permitted to take band on campus. This is only allowed for the visual performing and applied arts credit. If you believe this applies to you or have any other questions, please call the school at 246-3010. Thank you and have a good evening.

Fall Student-Athletes and Families: The fall athletic participation fee will not be collected until we hear from the MHSAA about competitions (by August 20th). GO RED!

(I stole some words from a very proud daughter who honored Garry on her personal page.) It was over 16 years ago that Garry made the decision to run for a seat on the Beaverton School Board and during the time he served, has seen many changes along the way. He has voted with much thought and deliberation on many crucial issues to assure a positive outcome for our school district and we thank him for that. Garry's years on the Board also allowed him the honor to personally hand 5 of his 6 Grandchildren their diplomas as they walked across the graduation stage. As he has now resigned from his position, we want to acknowledge his service to the students, staff, administration at Beaverton Schools. Thanks Garry ❤ Thank you Garry Clark for your years of service and commitment to Beaverton. #GoBeavers
