PTC Club and Event Happenings:
PTC Meeting updates
Special thanks to BSD Emergency Coordinator, Ashley Vanderjagt, who shared at our PTC Meeting last night. She went over the many districtwide security improvements that have been incorporated, emergency protocol & drills, as well as emergency preparedness tips for your family and home.
She is a wealth of information! If you couldn’t make it to last nights’ meeting but have some questions, please contact Ashley at ashley_vanderjagt@beaverton.k12.or.us, or visit BSD’s Public Safety Office page.
Passport Club
The world is complex and not always black and white. Einstein said, “The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.”
All the more reason that young people should gain a foundation in geography so that, later on, they are more apt to wrestle with the complexities of life more successfully.
To find this month’s study maps, check out our Passport page.
STEAM Night
Don’t miss this fun evening of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math scheduled for Apr. 20 at 6-8.
Come see student science and art projects, participate in hands-on inquiry stations, buy a book at the book fair, and tour the new Makerspace.
