COVID Vaccines available for Families
Dear all,
The city and county are working very hard to make the vaccine available to as many people as possible, and we still need to get the word out about our clinics. There may be community members who think that they can’t access the vaccine because they don’t have an ID or health insurance. This is not the case. The following clinics prioritize BIPOC community members and don’t require ID.
The drive-thru clinics are located at the closed Kmart Parking Lot at 4500 NE 122nd Ave. No ID is required.
Interested folx can get an appointment at the following sign-up links:

Las clínicas del drive-thru están ubicadas en el estacionamiento de Kmart en 4500 NE 122nd Ave. No se requiere identificación.

FLMS Mask Policy
Dear Floyd Light Family,
We are looking forward to having students back in our school very soon! The health and safety of our families, students and staff remain our highest priority.
David Douglas School District has been working closely with our Local Public Health Authority and the Oregon Department of Education to ensure all schools meet the required health and safety guidelines to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, our school is working to best prepare for the unique needs of our student population. This includes students who may experience a disability or have increased health needs that require individual protocols for safety.
Face coverings are required to be worn in all school settings by staff and students. However, some students who have certain health conditions or a disability may not be able to wear a mask throughout their day.
Every child experiencing disability must be provided a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
- Children who experience a disability are afforded additional protections under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (504) and under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
- Some students cannot wear a face covering or face shield due to medical or other needs related to their disability.
- These students must be provided appropriate accommodations to allow them to participate in their education to the fullest extent.
If you see a student who is not wearing a face covering at school, please know that we are working to maintain physical distancing and implement universal precautions for safety as outlined by our Local Public Health Authority. We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure safety for everyone. If you have additional questions, please contact me.
Mr. Pease, Principal
Floyd Light Middle School

Return to School Matrix:
See the attached document that will help you decide whether to send your student to school on a day-to-day basis when we return to school. It is simply a guide to keep everyone safe. More guidance to come. FYI: please be prepared to pick your student up rapidly if there is a sickness. Thank you!

- Attendance Calls: Automatic Attendance Calls have started. You can always check your student’s attendance through ParentVue and are welcome to call the office for more information (503-256-6511). We always know that there are many good reasons for not being able to connect. If possible, please have your student keep up on the work in Google Classroom.
- Contact Information: If your address or phone number has changed, please contact the office, so we can change the info in our system.
- Food Pantry: Floyd Light’s Food Pantry is every Monday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Please drive through our Bus Lane and a box/bag will be available.
ParentVue vs Google Classroom:
PLEASE use ParentVue when reviewing your student’s assignment completion, grades, and attendance. Google Classroom is GREAT for delivering instruction but is NOT accurate for student progress. If you do not have access to ParentVue, please contact our office at 503-256-6511, and they will get you connected.
Immunizations and flu shots at Student Health Centers:
Three Multnomah County Student Health Centers are open and providing immunizations (and flu shots). These shots are especially important this fall. Because of COVID-19 we want to prevent as many other illnesses as possible. If your student is missing immunizations, now is the time to catch up. Exclusion day is coming soon! Even during distance learning your student may be excluded if they are not caught up on immunizations.
Any Multnomah County K-12 youth can receive these services at any of our three open centers, and there are no out of pocket costs. We take all types of insurance and will serve you if you’re uninsured. Visit our website for more information.

IT SUPPORT:
Families can request support from our Family Help Desk (Phone: 503.261.8391 e-Mail: family_help_desk@ddsd40.org) but in all actuality there is very little that the DDSD team can do to support weak/slow/spotty Wi-Fi in the home. Our recommendation is to call your internet provider and ask for assistance.
Student Photos:
Until we can get back to school and get student photos, we want to get your student’s photo! Having our student’s photos really helps our educators make every more connections. to have our teachers know your student. Here is the procedure:
- Use your Smart Phone to take a photo to look more-or-less like a “school picture” (i.e., headshot). Photos should be emailed to: studentphoto@ddsd40.org
- Please be sure to include enough student information so we can be sure to identify them correctly. Good things to include with the email would be:
- Name
- Birthdate
- Student ID
- School
