Middle School Extended Day Programs
Now in its 15th year, the Safe and Sound for Student Success (S4) program offered by BEF continued its vital work in the 2024-25 school year. Eight middle schools participated, serving 1,184 middle school students with an extended school day with access to extracurricular coupled with academic accountability.
Trades Exploration
BEF invests in career-connected learning activities that help 75 middle schoolers learn about construction, auto tech, and manufacturing CTE programs available in Beaverton high schools. As a result, these 7th and 8th graders are better prepared to move onto high school and many discover new career aspirations. High school students benefit as well as they provide peer-to-peer learning opportunities as they show off the skills they have learned and talk about career and college plans after graduation.
Sunset HS Cram and Jam Homework Club
The partnership between Sunset High School and the Beaverton Education Foundation (BEF) is built on a shared commitment to helping students navigate the critical transition into high school. Now, with the creation of the Sunset High School Success Initiative, funds will sustain and grow efforts to keep 9th graders on track to graduate.
