A Thought or Two From Mr. Nieslanik
There is a fine line between too much information and not enough information. I know that I am tip-toeing along this fine line as we transition into hybrid instruction. I do hope that you take the time to read these newsletters, as the more we all are on the same page, the better for our shift in structures as we move into Quarter Four. As information comes your way, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. We are here to answer all your needs, and questions. I do know that your family is making a choice to either stay in CDL or return to In-Person Hybrid (IPH), and we will work our hardest to ensure that we meet your needs in whatever choice you choose.
Take care, be well.

Safe Routes to School
As students return to schools for in-person learning this month, arrival and departure times may be different than you are used to. While traffic and activities around Beaverton schools may look different, one thing is for sure – kids are out and about in our community. Some kids may be returning to school buildings while others will be continuing to learn remotely and taking breaks outside during the day. Safety is everyone’s responsibility! Kids are everywhere. #DriveLikeIt.
Driving Safety Tips
Our community needs everyone to drive safely, be alert, and follow traffic laws, especially when observing students walking, biking, skateboarding, and scootering. Let’s work together to keep our students safe!
- Stop for school busses when red lights flash. Both directions of traffic must stop.
- Watch your speed. 20 mph is the school zone speed limit.
- Be ready to stop at all times. Kids may dart into the street without checking for traffic.
- Stop for people at intersections and when asked by the crossing guard. Check your blind spots before turning and behind your vehicle before reversing. Drive for conditions – This time of year is often rainy and foggy limiting visibility for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians so keep those headlights on to help others see you.
