Hello Parents,
The staff at EHS recognizes that creating a safe learning environment is a critical part of helping each child achieve academic success. This year we will introduce the Safe Oregon Tip Line, a new system that students can use to report school safety threats. Safe Oregon will give your child another medium for communicating with our school administration when school safety incidents occur.
How does the Safe Oregon Tip Line work?
Students can access the Safe Oregon system through a link on the left side of our school webpage or they may go directly to the safeoregon.com web site. Tips can be submitted through the web form on the Safe Oregon website, or by text, email, live call and mobile app.
Why is there a need for a tip line system?
The number one reason why children do not report is the fear of retaliation from their peers. The Safe Oregon Tip Line can be accessed from the privacy of a phone, home computer or other Internet equipped device, eliminating the possibility of being identified by another student and thus, increasing the likelihood that a school safety threat would go unreported.
I encourage you to learn more about the Tip Line by visiting the Safe Oregon web site at www.safeoregon.com
Gary Carpenter, Principal, EHS
Today’s home and away soccer games have all been cancelled due to air quality issues. The home volleyball game for tonight is still on.
Thank you to the FRSD maintenance staff for their work over the past several days installing a new scoreboard at EHS. Over 90% of the nearly $15,000 for this scoreboard was raised through donations. They included: Ric Rainone of Cornerstone Management Group (The District’s construction representative), DLR Group (Architects for our recent bond projects), LCG Pence Construction, and Territorial Sports Program (to name some of the major donors). Thanks to everyone that participated in this project. If you are a local business or organization and would like to advertise on the board (the white section at the bottom), please contact EHS Athletic Director Brian Brands at 541-935-8200.
