We will begin with two sessions to review the new Oregon Department of Education Health Education Standards:
December 3rd, 6-7 at the District Office Boardroom for Elementary Parents/Guardians
December 5th, 6-7 at the District Office Boardroom for Middle School/ High School Parents/Guardians
The DO Boardroom is located at 714 E. 6th Street, Newberg, OR, 97132.
The new health standards are already posted on our website, and you can find them here as well: 2023 Oregon Health Standards.
Next, our K-5 teacher teams and Teaching and Learning Council will decide the lessons to pilot at each grade level, and we will post the materials for review in January of 2025. The K-5 teachers will be piloting the materials in spring of 2025, and we will then bring a recommendation to the school board by the end of the 24/25 academic year. The 6-8 Health Teachers will also be following a similar timeline, and we will post their piloted materials as soon as possible.
Prior to any instruction with these materials, teachers will share communication about when these lessons will be done in class and parents or guardians can opt out of participating at any time if desired.
