New way of communication for your school!
Help your child succeed in school: Build the habit of good attendance early.
Did you know?
- Starting in preschool and kindergarten, too many absences can caus children to fall behind in school.
- Missing 10% or about 2 days each month over the course of a school year, can make it harder to learn to read.
- Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
Absences and tardiness can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.

What is the Adapted At-A-Glance School Profile?
The At-A-Glance School and District Profiles are an overview of a school or district and its accountability data. The Audience is parents and families, and the goal is to provide a brief overview of the school or district in a format that is easy to read. Due to missing 2019-20 data, the At-A-Glance School and District Profiles were adapted to still meet this goal.
Your school's At-A-Glance Profile can be found on the school or district website, as well as on the Oregon Department of Education's link:
Annual Notice about State Assessments
Oregon Law requires all districts to inform parents that a form is available from the Oregon Deparment of Education that provides the opportunity to opt your child out of the ELA and Math assessments. The form must be filed annually and is available in multiple languages.
The forms can be found on the district website:
