Middle School Boundary Adjustments

In November, Superintendent Don Grotting announced the new Middle School Boundary Adjustment. As a result, some middle school assignments have changed. To check your student’s school assignment for next school year, input your home address into the school locator on the Beaverton School District website. (Make sure to select 2021-22 School Year Boundaries.)

In March, parents will receive further information from their middle school principal about forecasting (selecting classes) for next school year.

Some current 7th graders qualify for the Legacy Student Program. Instead of switching, this exception allows students who’ll be entering 8th grade during the 2021-22 school year the OPTION to remain at the middle school that they attended during this current school year. If this applies to your student, you’ll receive more information from the District.

7th Grade Legacy Program Options

Current 7th grade students who’ve been impacted by the new Middle School Boundary Adjustment were announced in November. To check your student’s school assignment for next school year, use the school locator on the Beaverton School District website. (Make sure to select 2021-22 School Year Boundaries.)

Superintendent Don Grotting has approved a Legacy Student Program. Rather than switching, the exception allows students who’ll be entering 8th grade during the 2021-22 school year the OPTION to remain at the middle school that they attended during this current school year.

Note: Students in Specialized Programs, Option Schools and Programs (ACMA, BASE, ISB and Rachel Carson) and SUMMA can remain in those programs, regardless of assigned neighborhood school.

Who is eligible for the Legacy Student Program?

7th grade students who are slated to move to a different school due to the Middle School Boundary Adjustment may remain at their current school for 8th grade if they communicate their intention via the online form they received in email no later than February 26. All 7th grade families who are eligible to participate in the legacy student program will be sent an email with the appropriate form to fill out. If you did not receive an email, please contact your current middle school registrar to communicate your intention to stay.
7th grade students enrolled in FLEX Online School may attend the neighborhood middle school assigned to their home address for the current school year (2020-21) for 8th grade, if they communicate their intention via the online form they received in email no later than February 26. If you did not receive an email, please contact your current middle school registrar to communicate your intention to stay.

Who is not eligible for the Legacy Student Program?

7th grade students who enroll in the Beaverton School District after February 26 will be assigned to the middle school associated with their home address for the 2021-2022 school year. They do not have the option of attending the middle school that was assigned to their home address during the 2020-21 school year.
