ON COMMON GROUND: Sometimes, people disagree. When you take more than a thousand students, teachers, administrators and staff and put them in the same place for nine months, familiarity will, at times, make for misunderstandings, disagreements and a need for conflict resolution. We’ve developed a set of protocols to help address these concerns while respecting the needs and proper channels of resolution for all involved. Full details at https://bit.ly/3KA77g1.

HOLD YOUR HORSES: Excited about Spring Break? So are we. But students need to remember that it doesn't start until AFTER our half-day on Friday. If you start before then, you need to understand the impact it could have on everybody. At the top of the list: The state requires a set number of school days for our kids, and if a certain percentage of you don't show up, we're in real jeopardy of Friday's session not counting. That means we would have to make it up at the end of the year. Families, please make sure your student attends school tomorrow. #90PercentOfSuccessIsShowingUp #GoBeavers

CELLING POINT: Visitors to freshman Science classes Wednesday were treated to the Cell Factory Tour. Tourists were whisked away into a plant cell to learn how each job in the cell is like a job in a factory. Other BJSHS staff and students were invited to take in each of the ten tour stops, where students in the classes shared their knowledge about the different types of cells, the organelles found in a cell and how they all work together to make a product (proteins), much like a factory. #SmallScience #GoBeavers

SAFER EVERY DAY: It’s not always pleasant to ponder, but hoping for the best while preparing for the worst is the only way a responsible school district can operate. Today, Beaverton Schools took another important step toward attaining MI HEARTSafe School certification. A group of teachers and administrators have volunteered to comprise their respective school’s Medical Emergency Response Teams, and today’s drills called for a rapid response to a cardiac event. School MERT teams, along with School Resource Officers and Beaverton Fire Department and EMS personnel, walked through the proper protocols of recognizing a cardiac event, notifying 9-1-1, securing the school building and administering life-saving care until paramedics arrive. Groups in both schools scored well in their scenarios, and it’s a point of pride that not only the MERT squad but almost 40 percent of Beaverton school teachers and administrators are CPR and AED certified. We’ll postgame today’s exercises, make any necessary adjustments and work to get even better. #Striving #GoBeavers

THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY: After learning about the Pythagorean Theorem last week, eighth graders applied their new skills by working together to solve the mystery of the missing side. The groups measured the given sides of the triangles, determined the equation they needed to use and solved it using the structure they had been taught. #ASquaredEtc #GoBeavers
