Beaverton Backpack

One kid. Seven school apps. Zero patience at 7:42 AM. Beaverton Backpack is the app one Hiteon Elementary parent built after realizing that being a school parent had become an administrative part-time job. It puts everything in one place — and keeps your family's information on your phone, where it belongs. TODAY, AT A GLANCE Open the app and get the one answer you need: is there school today, what's different, and what goes in the backpack. After 6 PM it flips to tomorrow — the before-bed dread-check, answered. • Live district and school calendar, translated into parent English ("No school for students — teacher workday") • PE and library day reminders — "sneakers tomorrow," the night before • Weather-aware mornings: rain jacket and indoor-recess warnings, pulled from the forecast • Who's on pickup today — one tap, no group-text archaeology EVERY SCHOOL SITE, ONE BACKPACK ParentSquare, ParentVUE, Seesaw, SchoolCafé, bus tracking, payments, the PTC — each one opens inside the app, organized by the question you're actually asking ("Where's the bus?"). Sign in with Google or your school account; your phone remembers sessions just like Safari. Passwords go straight to the school's own sites — never through us. SCAN THE FLYER That crumpled half-sheet at the bottom of the backpack? Photograph it. The dates are found on your phone (nothing is uploaded) and added to your calendar with one tap. MADE FOR YOUR KID Add your kids, pick their teacher from the school's public roster, and the app routes everything — the right supply list with a pack-it checklist, their class's specials days, their week. NEW-FAMILY CONCIERGE First year at Hiteon? An eight-step guide from a parent who's been through it — what to set up, what to skip, and what the kiss-and-go lane is really like the first week. EN ESPAÑOL La app sigue el idioma de tu teléfono. YOUR DATA IS YOUR DATA No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Everything you enter lives on your phone and nowhere else — and Settings has an "Erase everything" button that means it. Beaverton Backpack is made with love by one Hiteon parent. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Beaverton School District. Always confirm critical details with the school.
