Principal
A reminder to our families that meals for the week (lunches and breakfasts) can be ordered and then picked up every Monday night from 5-6 PM at EHS. For details regarding that program you can view an earlier post at: https://www.fernridge.k12.or.us/?p=10449.
We are also pleased to announce that we WILL be able to offer this the week of Thanksgiving, on Monday November 23rd (there is NO SCHOOL at all that week). We will take orders beginning Monday, November 9th and continue through Wednesday November 18th. You can place your order (just need last name and number of children ages 0-18) by either emailing our food service director at afullerton@fernridge.k12.or.us, or by calling your local school and asking them to forward the information to Mr. Fullerton. Once your order is places you just need to show up at EHS between 5:00 and 6:00 PM on the 23rd to receive the meals.
Pre-ordering allows the food service staff to order the right amount of product, and ensure nothing is going to waste! We hope that many families will participate! Any questions, you can also call Mr. Fullerton at 541-935-8218.
We recently worked to clean up our emails in Google Classroom to match what parents have given us in eSchool. There may be a few parents that have a disruption in their Google Classroom notifications because of this. If you have any issues please contact the school so that we can fix it for you. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Greetings students and parents of 9th-12th grade students (both EHS and OPTIONS)
To improve the usability and security of our student’s computer accounts, students will be prompted to set new passwords on their district account. That prompt will go out first thing Monday morning. Beginning Monday morning, when students log into their chromebook or google account with their current password they will be asked to create a new password to continue.
Students should choose a password they can remember, write it down and store it somewhere safe. They will need that new password to log in, and are responsible for remembering it and keeping it secure.
Students who do lock themselves out of their accounts can get their passwords reset by calling the school directly or by calling the student tech support line at 541-952-7030.
NOTICE: We will be doing the same thing for both 6th-8th and elementary students at some point next week.
Thanks to everyone who attended our Virtual Open House tonight. We apologize for the technical difficulties. As we promised here is a link to the video. A special thank you to Mr. Monegan for producing the video.
