This form allows us to confirm whether students may participate in walking field trips and view age-appropriate digital content (such as educational videos and films) as part of their learning. If you need to update this form, please reach out to our registrar in the front office. We will also have them available at Open House.

Great News! Our Orchestra program will be fully grant-funded again this school year. We are thrilled to welcome back Director Lauralie Kallinen and look forward to seeing both new and returning students.

We appreciate the community support and enthusiasm for our North Eugene football games. However, there is a history of challenges related to student behavior, primarily from our younger attendees who often attend without parent supervision during the games. 

 Supervised Attendance for Middle School and Under Students:

To enhance safety and the overall experience for our younger community members, middle school-aged and under students are required to be accompanied by their parents or another responsible adult. We believe this measure will ensure that our younger fans have the guidance and support they need to enjoy the games responsibly. Students without their parents or another responsible adult will not be allowed into Friday Night Football Games. 

We value your support and participation in our community events, and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming games. Let us come together to celebrate our local student athletes, build lasting connections, and ensure that these events remain a source of pride and unity for years to come. We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work together to enhance the experience for all members of our community.

Fidgets such as Nee Doh's are becoming very popular at school. Fidgets can be helpful for many students to help them stay focused and possibly reduce anxiety. Unfortunately, they can also create issues at school when not used for their functional purpose. We have noticed students throwing them, breaking them open or cutting them open to expose the sticky inside, and also stealing from each other causing disruptions in classrooms and hallways. Other common toys at school such as stuffies and tech decks have also led to similar issues.

When a student is not using the fidget for its functional purpose or if causes a disruption to their learning or others at school, it will be confiscated by the staff member and brought to the office. A guardian can make arrangements to come pick up the item from the main office.

We realize that some students need sensory tools to be more successful, and we want to continue to support the individual needs of our students as much as possible. Please reinforce these expectations with your student.

From the time students enter the school building until the time that they leave the building personal electronic devices are expected to be kept off and in their lockers this pertains to

Several of our staff and students react to fragrances in the environment at school. In the past, we have been a fragrance-free school to respect those staff and students who experience negative health reactions to fragrances in the environment.

Please speak with your student about NOT bringing ANY sprays to school and not using ANY spray products during the school day. This is a courtesy to others. We hope to have your support for a fragrance-free school environment for all staff and students.
