Mental Wellness

Our district is committed to educating the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. Mental wellness plays a vital role in student success, and we believe every student deserves a safe, supportive, and caring learning environment where they can thrive.
This page provides information, resources, and services available to support students’ mental and emotional well-being. Whether a student needs help building resilience, navigating stress, connecting with support, or accessing crisis assistance, we are here to partner with families, staff, and our community to promote healthy development and foster a culture of belonging.
Together, we can ensure our students feel seen, heard, and supported—today and every day.

Mental Health Services Offered by the District
The district currently contracts with two licensed mental health providers to offer direct therapy services to students at no cost to families. Services are available both in person and virtually. Students may receive therapy during the school day on campus, or families may choose to access services in another setting, such as in person at a local clinic or virtually from home.

- Contact your school's counselor
- Contact Teresa Murphy (Family Engagement Specialist) at #971-718-1742
- Contact Erica Gordon (Special Services Director) at #503-845-2345
Direct therapy services are supported through Medicaid Administrative Claiming (MAC) reimbursement funds in partnership with a generous donation from the Matthew Unrein Memorial Foundation.
