EHS’s own Mason Stuller won the Junior Roughstock World Finals All-Around championship at the National Finals Rodeo in Arlington, Texas last week. Congratulations Mason! EHS is proud of you!
Due to the district decision to move the CDL for the next three weeks, we will be unable to offer athletic workouts during that time as well. We believe that we will receive guidance from the OSAA on December 7th about the prospects of season 2 (winter sports) beginning on December 28th as scheduled. If that is allowed we will begin practices again at that time. If it is postponed we will be communicating with athletes and coaches about possible workouts that may begin in the new year. We appreciate your patience throughout this challenging fall and look forward to better days in the future. #wewillplayagain!
We had an accidental pull of a fire alarm on campus this afternoon. We wanted to emphasize that this was an accident and at no time was there any concern about a fire in the building. The fire department responded and confirmed this as well and our maintenance department quickly reset our fire alarm after the incident. Thanks to everyone for your concern.
Based on the new guidance from the governor today, we are going to delay the start of our 3rd session of athletics until December 7th. We understand this is disappointing for many of you, but due to the need to play basketball and wrestling indoors and the current increase in cases we feel this is the prudent way to act. We will plan to start winter sports workouts on Monday, December 7th and will give you updates as soon as we have any additional information.
We recently experienced a short term power outage. At this time it appears that power has been restored and we have internet access again. Due to the limited time left in 2nd period we will cut those classes short and start up again at 12:00 PM for 3rd period. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that we don’t have any further interruptions to the school day.
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.
We have several students who did not get their picture taken in September. It is very important that we get as many student photos as possible for the yearbook and our directory. We will be offering two retake opportunities, they will happen on Monday, November 9th and Monday, November 16th from 2:00 – 6:00 PM. Please refer to the attached flyer for ordering information.
Please join us on Thursday, October 29th for a drive-in movie! Key Club is hosting a fundraiser for the Kiwanis and will be showing Hocus Pocus.
