Today’s softball doubleheader has been moved to the SWOCC campus in Coos Bay at 4:00 and 6:00 PM.
On Thursday, April 28th Elmira High School will be presenting a Prom Safety Assembly to our junior and senior students. While prom is a fun time in a high school student’s life, it is also a night where there are far too many drinking and driving accidents and sexual assaults. The purpose of this assembly is to make our students aware of the dangers that prom night can present and to provide education from local experts about how to avoid situations where they could be harmed. If this material may be too intense for your student they will have an opt out option for that morning. We are excited for the return of a traditional prom night and we want our students to have a fun and safe evening. If you have any questions about this event please don’t hesitate to contact us at 541-935-8200.
Due to field conditions our varsity softball doubleheader has been moved to Siuslaw High School. The start time remains at 3:00 PM.
Dear Parents/Guardians of Junior Students,
I would like to invite you and your student to attend a special event being held for Juniors. This event will begin the planning process for your student’s senior year and post-secondary goals. Junior Night will be on Wednesday, April 27th at 5:30p.m. in the EHS Theater. Doors will open at 5:00pm.
Information presented will include admissions requirements for four-year colleges and universities, community colleges, and career technical schools, as well as guidance on scholarship searches and financial aid. We will cover important topics like finding a good college fit, ways to help pay for college thru scholarships and financial aid, and an overview of deadlines and online resources. For students considering career options, we’ll cover programs like Connected Lane County and other career-planning resources. We will end the night with some general senior year information.
Rising seniors and families will be able to file a 2022–2023 FAFSA to apply for college financial aid early in senior year. Additionally, the state of Oregon offers the Oregon Promise, which can cover a significant portion of two years of community college tuition. Pathways (U of Oregon) and Bridge to Success (Oregon State) are need-based programs that can cover the cost of 4 years of tuition at those colleges. And many private colleges have significant aid available to reduce the cost of attendance. There are a lot of great resources for students to explore post-high school plans, and ways to pay for it, but it is also a lot of information to sort thru. Thru this this event, our goal is to help clarify these and other opportunities and help you and your student sort out how they might impact you in the upcoming year.
I strongly encourage both you and your student to attend this information night. There will be a lot to accomplish between now and June, 2023!
See you on April 27th!
Sincerely,
Brittany McMillan (Last Names A-K)
