• Every visitor and volunteer that enters our building must use their ID to sign into our system and sign out with when exiting building.
• Any concerns or question please notify the office.

Saftey is our number one focus thank you for your understanding

When dropping off students please make sure your student is using the sidewalks, and one of our two crosswalks. We are seeing quite a few students being dropped off in the middle of the street and/or sent across the street instead of to a sidewalk and crosswalk.This can lead to close calls - and we have seen a few! Our number one goal is student safety.

School Hours

Breakfast for our students starts at 7:25 . Please have your student at school in their class by 7:55 am. Any student who arrives after 8:00 needs to check in the office for a tardy slip.

The weather is changing. Please dress your student according to the weather. We want our students to feel comfortable while at school.

Kids Home Sick

We love having your students here at school. However, we also want to ensure they are ready to learn. If your student is sick, please keep them home and notify the office at 541-842-3860

We follow the guidelines of Oregon Health Authority. Follow the link for more information on when to keep your student home and for how long: https://www.oregon.gov/ode/students-and-family/healthsafety/Documents/Symptom-based%20Exclusion%20Chart.pdf

MESSAGES/EARLY PICK UPS

We know that plans change and students have different arrangements. If you need to get a message to your student, please provide the information before 2pm. It is very dificult to try to send out messages after 2pm due to end-of-class transtions.

Hello Families,

As we get further into November, we want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for our wonderful families. Your support, involvement, and dedication to your child's education are truly invaluable. Whether you’re helping with homework, reading with them, or simply encouraging your child’s growth, your contributions make a lasting impact on our school community. We are so fortunate to have you as partners in this journey.

With conferences just around the corner, we look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and discuss your child's progress. These conferences are a great way to celebrate achievements, address challenges, and set goals for the remainder of the year. We encourage all families to attend, as your involvement in these conversations helps ensure your child’s continued success.

Thank you for all that you do every single day to support your child.

~Mrs. Elrod
