A NEW APPROACH: After much thought, study and deliberation, the Beaverton Schools Board of Education and administration have made significant changes to the BJSHS cell phone policy. It's going to be an adjustment for everyone, but students and parents need to know what the changes are and why they were made. View the explanatory video at bit.ly/3siyK6y and our FAQs page at bit.ly/45x1lDw.

ESSENTIAL: At Beaverton Schools, not all the heroes necessarily do their work in the classrooms. Three crucial administrative office staffers whose efforts aren't necessarily seen by all do immense work behind the scenes to make sure things run smoothly everywhere on campus, and they continue to work to improve as evidenced by the recent certifications and accreditations they've earned. Hats off to Payroll/Benefits Coordinator Marybeth Lyons (MSBO School Payroll Specialist certification); Office Manager/Administrative Assistant/Accounts Payable Karen Carpenter (MSBO Facilities Director certification); and Business Manager Heath Kaplan (MSBO Business Manager Academy completion). Great job to all, and thanks for all you do for our kids. #Proud #GoBeavers
