Estacada School District praises test gains, outlines expanded summer programs and reconfiguration plans
Summary
An Estacada School District official lauded students’ academic and extracurricular progress, cited early state assessment gains and announced expanded summer school, meal programs and a parks series while preparing families for a planned school reconfiguration next year.
An Estacada School District official opened a year-end message as the district entered the last week of the school year, thanking students, families, staff and the community for “un año verdaderamente excepcional en las escuelas de estacada.”
The official said district survey results show strong participation and generally positive school experiences, and that early state assessment data indicate “an impressive academic growth” across the district. The speaker attributed the expansion of summer offerings to competitive state grants, though specific grant amounts were not given.
The message highlighted a range of student accomplishments this year, including growth in education, expanded career and technical education opportunities, athletic standouts and artists who have received recognition. The official said the district will celebrate seniors as they graduate and begin the next chapter of their lives.
Families were encouraged to enroll students in expanded summer-school programs and to use available summer meal programs intended to ensure continued access to food during the break. The district also said it will continue a parks-of-summer series to keep families engaged with schools during the summer months.
Looking ahead, the official said the district is preparing to implement a school reconfiguration next year and that staff will share information and updates over the summer to help families prepare for the transition. The address closed with thanks and a wish for a safe, relaxing summer for students and their families.
The district did not provide numerical details about the state assessment results, the competitive grants that funded expanded summer programming, or exact dates for the reconfiguration communications; those specifics were listed as "not specified" in the message.
