Use of Google Workspace for Education
To parents and guardians:
At Mt. Scott Learning Center, we use Google Workspace for Education, and we are letting families know that we provide and manage a Google Workspace for Education account for your child. Google Workspace for Education is a set of education productivity tools from Google including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Classroom, and more used by tens of millions of students and teachers around the world. At Mt. Scott, students will use their Google Workspace for Education accounts to complete assignments, communicate with their teachers, sign into their classroom Chromebooks, and learn 21st century digital citizenship skills. Please let us know of any questions, concerns, or would like any additional information about how this is handled at school. Thank you.

Food/Comida
Oregonians can now order groceries online using SNAP funds through Amazon and Walmart. To use the new feature, simply enter your Oregon Trail card number and PIN during check-out. SNAP can’t be used to pay courier fees, so users will still be required to pay delivery costs and any other surcharges added by the retailer.
