District Student Family Handbook

The Student/Family Handbook (SFH), first published in 1996-97, was established to protect both students' rights and those of others. The Handbook outlines the academic, behavioral and extracurricular expectations for students and provides guidelines for dealing with behaviors that interfere with the education of students and lead to disciplinary actions. The document is written to agree with local, state and federal laws and is updated each year.

Letter from the Superintendent

September 2021

Dear Students and Parents:

Welcome back to school! Every new school year brings renewed hope and possibilities. We are committed to student success and our District Goal: WE empower all students to achieve post-high school success.

WE recognize that reaching this goal requires all of us. It takes all of us working together to create safe and inclusive learning environments. It takes intentional effort, dedicated staff and the broader Beaverton community to make it happen.

In Beaverton, we have a Strategic Plan to focus our collective efforts and resources aligned to our goal. Embedded in our plan are four pillars of learning that describe what we want to be known for. WE believe that as we provide education based on these pillars, students will achieve the District Goal.

For all of our students to succeed we must maintain open lines of communication. I can proudly say that we take extraordinary measures to maintain a safe and caring environment for our students. We hold high expectations for ourselves and we seek continual improvement. Our students deserve the very best and it is up to all of us (our schools, families and community partners) to work together, to proactively seek solutions to the continual challenges we face.

Every year, a team reviews and revises the Student & Family Handbook. Please take some time to become familiar with this information. Our staff will be asking you to review the Code of Conduct and to indicate that you have done that when you verify enrollment of your child. Thank you in advance for your commitment and cooperation.

Have a great school year!

Sincerely,

Don Grotting
Superintendent

Student Code of Conduct

The District expects, encourages, and trusts our students to be safe and make healthy decisions regarding their behavior. When students make poor decisions, there may be interventions and responses to those actions that are age appropriate, consider the student’s mental capacity, and to the extent practicable, use approaches that are evident through research to be effective.

The Code of Conduct applies to students at all times while they are Beaverton School District property, at any school-sponsored activity, including field trips, and while traveling to and from school or any school sponsored event. The District recognizes that some incidents that occur off school ground may seriously affect school safety and school climate. In those cases, the District may implement intervention and disciplinary responses based on their impact on school safety and school climate.

Please review the Student Code of Conduct
