Congratulations to Sheldon High School's Emily Vasquez-silva and Israel (Izzy) Salinas, who are two of 62,000 students from across the country to earn academic honors from the College Board’s National Recognition Programs! These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs use these honors to identify students from underrepresented groups through College Board’s Student Search Service.

Emily and Israel] earned this recognition by excelling on their PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or AP Exams and in their classrooms. Students who may be eligible have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams; and are African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latinx, Indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town. Eligible students are invited to apply during their sophomore or junior year, and are awarded at the beginning of the next school year.

In today’s schools, there are simply far more jobs and responsibilities than there are people to do them. By helping with special events and routine tasks, volunteers allow teachers and staff to focus more on helping children learn and grow. The school can accomplish more, and offer children and families more services, with the help of volunteers. Every 4J school welcomes and appreciates volunteers. Many volunteers work a few hours per week; others help intermittently. Opportunities include Library assistance, Field Trips, Career Center assistance, stuffing envelopes, helping at school events like registration and dances, campus supervision, and more!

To get started, you must first visit each of these links below, following all the steps and filling out the appropriate forms. We can then get you ready to help!!

2023 Grad Night Committee

We encourage students to get to school using active transportation like walking, biking, skating and scooting, or shared transportation like busing and carpooling. It’s great for their health and the environment and makes the space around our school safer and less trafficked.

Please take a look at the safety tip sheets for walking and biking on our regional Safe Routes to School website, and go over some of the safety tips with your student: https://www.eugenespringfieldsrts.org/local-resources

Finally, when choosing a walking or biking route, try a route other than the one you would use to drive to school. Sidewalk riding on busy streets is dangerous because people driving don’t expect people biking on sidewalks. Quieter neighborhood streets may be a better option. Safe Routes to School has walking maps on their website, here: https://www.eugenespringfieldsrts.org/maps-for-biking-and-walking You can also connect with our Safe Routes to School staff for route planning assistance at mazze_s@4j.lane.edu or 541-790-7539.

Alentamos a los estudiantes a llegar a la escuela utilizando medios de transporte activos, como caminar, andar en bicicleta, patinar y andar en patineta, o medios de transporte compartidos, como autobuses y vehículos compartidos. Es excelente para su salud y el medio ambiente y hace que el espacio alrededor de nuestra escuela sea más seguro y menos transitado.

Eche un vistazo a las hojas de consejos de seguridad para caminar y andar en bicicleta en el sitio web de Rutas seguras a la escuela de nuestra región, y repase algunos de los consejos de seguridad con su estudiante: https://www.eugenespringfieldsrts.org/local-resources

Finalmente, cuando elija una ruta para caminar o andar en bicicleta, pruebe con una ruta diferente a la que usaría para conducir a la escuela. Andar en bicicleta en las aceras es peligroso porque las personas que manejan no esperan que las personas anden en bicicleta en las aceras. Las calles más tranquilas del vecindario pueden ser una mejor opción. Safe Routes to School tiene mapas para caminar en su sitio web, aquí: https://www.eugenespringfieldsrts.org/maps-for-biking-and-walking También puede conectarse con nuestro personal de Safe Routes to School para obtener asistencia en la planificación de rutas en mazze_s@ 4j.lane.edu o 541-790-7539.

Join the Ergon cross cultural exchange program! As a family you will have the enriching and fun experience of hosting a 16-17-year-old Italian student for the 2023-24 school year, for either half or all the school year.

The Ergon program ensures a unique cross-cultural opportunity: the Italian families offer to your son or daughter a direct exposure to Italian culture through an all-expenses paid vacation in Italy in the summer following the visit, and Ergon sponsors the flight!

We’ve had many 4J host families who shared their homes with an Italian student; many of those visits have turned into long-term friendships for themselves and their children.

Our current and former host parents are happy to share their experiences with you. Ergon specializes in a rigorous selection process and carefully match students with host families. Students are fully insured and arrive with pocket money for all expenses.

To learn more, please email Eugene coordinator at kobrien334@comcast.net and visit our website at www.ergon-se.org.

Thank you!
