Elementary handbook updated to include ROOMS, Raptor and health notifications; board seeks consistency across schools
Summary
The board approved the Elementary Student/Parent Handbook with updates on the ROOMS platform, Raptor visitor system, and Medicaid parental notifications while asking for consistent handbook elements and a simpler family-facing summary.
The Elementary Student/Parent Handbook for 2025-26 was presented and approved. Updates cited in the meeting packet and discussed at the July 14 meeting include the district's ROOMS communication platform, the Raptor visitor screening system and language about Medicaid parental notifications. The board approved the handbook by unanimous vote.
Board members raised concerns about the district's approach to students with head lice, noting the district follows Oregon Health Authority guidance and treats incidents individually; members suggested the district consider a district-specific policy. Members also requested consistent footer labeling for printed handbook pages and a simplified, one-page summary to improve clarity for families as students transition between elementary, middle and high school.
