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.

Cast your VOTE

The Beaverton School Board on Monday, Jan. 22, 2018 unanimously adopted a resolution to place a five-year Local Option Levy Renewal on the May 15, 2018 ballot. This is a vote-by-mail election.

If approved, the Local Option Levy Renewal would allow Beaverton schools to preserve 300 teaching positions, maintain class sizes, and help ensure students are prepared for post-high school success. The levy renewal costs $1.25 per $1,000 assessed property value. Homes with the median assessed value of $238,000 would continue to pay less than $25 per month. The levy could raise approximately $31-$35 million a year.

In 2013, voters approved a five-year local option levy to restore teaching positions that had been cut due to repeated state funding shortfalls. The levy has raised $128 million, and 100% has remained in Beaverton schools to fund approximately 300 teaching positions and reduce class sizes. In the 2017-2018 school year, 158 of these positions were allocated to Beaverton’s elementary schools, 53 to middle schools, 70 to high schools, and 18 to options schools. The current levy pays for five full time teachers at Terra Linda.

Passport Club

PTC PASSPORT CLUB is looking for a volunteer to help for 40 minutes just ONCE A MONTH.

This is a great opportunity to help out – minimal time commitment but BIG impact!

Opportunity #1: We are in need of someone to arrive at 7:50am on Passport check days to set out maps and stamps and quiz the 6 or 7 first graders who arrive before school begins. We have a team of 5th grade students who also help. It is quick, fun, and rewarding. You are out the door by 8:30am! (training provided)

Opportunity #2:  For those of you who like to plan ahead! We are in need of someone to help copy and collate maps and intro letters to students for the 2018/19 school year.  This person will assist Veronika Zeisset in early September. The time commitment is 2-3 hours.

Please contact Lori Miller or Amanda Englund if you would be interested in either of these opportunities or if we can provide you with more information. 

With the Olympics just around the corner, have fun with your kids locating all of the countries you see- especially during the parade of nations! Turn it into your own home/family competition and see if you can find the different countries before your children!
