Cedar Park families are about to embark on a year like no other. Here’s a top ten checklist to set your family up for success.
Make sure your internet is up to speed or apply for free internet and/or hotspot.
Get school supplies or email Cedar Park for support.
Plan to make Sept 8-11 a priority for you & your student: both Wolf Week & Parent Academy are scheduled this week, with teachers engaging with students and BSD offering Canvas/Parentvue trainings.
Find last spring’s chromebook/charger; if it needs replacing or you didn’t check one out from your elementary school, email shd@beaverton.k12.or.us to set up time to receive one until new chrome books are mass distributed.
Round up any books that need to be returned to Cedar Park.
Sign up for the PTC blog to stay up to date on information throughout the school year and/or like “Cedar Park Middle School PTC” if you prefer to find info on social media.
Email update_volunteer_locations@beaverton.k12.or.us in order to move your profile from your elementary school to Cedar Park Middle School. Parents are not automatically moved into the Cedar Park volunteer database. (And yes, volunteering will look dramatically different, but you never know when/how we'll need parent support).
Commit to 150% engagement with your student and school from Sept 8-18.
