Student SurveyIn February, we will be giving students a survey about their experience as a student at Clackamas High School. We believe hearing from students is important and we know that they have a valuable role in helping shape school culture. The electronic survey will be given in class and will be confi-dential. Students will identify their grade, gender, and race/ethnicity, but not their name. Responses are not linked to individual students. The survey will ask students about their school experience from feeling included and being accepted, to bullying and academic rigor. Our staff will use the data from the survey to help guide our school plan for the coming year. It is our goal for students to be heard and valued. This survey will help us hear directly from our students about things that matter most to them. Families are encouraged to have conversations about identity and the school experience with their student.

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month!

Did you know that North Clackamas School District provides a number of opportunities to help students prevent tooth decay and maintain good oral health?

Our district’s oral health program (also known as Smile Squad) has received a multi-year Oregon Community Foundation Children’s Dental Health Initiative grant to develop a district-wide school-based dental program that will eventually provide dental services for Kindergarten through Grade 12. Our district has been partnering with Neighborhood Health Center (NHC) to develop this oral health program.

Our NCSD Smile Squad is dedicated to cultivating a culture of good oral health and ensuring all students have access to oral health care.

Our oral health coordinator and NHC’s Community Dental Program staff help families to access dental care for their children. Having these services at our schools means students spend less time out of class and parents miss less work. Several opportunities for all students are listed below.

● Dental insurance navigation and application assistance.

● MODA’s The Children’s Program can provide up to $800 of free dental services for children from ages 5 to 18 who are not covered under any dental plan.

Please contact the NCSD Oral Health Program at 503-353-6096 or [email protected] for information about these and other services.
