Wednesday, October 13th is testing day at EHS. 9th grade students will be taking the PSAT 8/9, 10th and 11th grade students will be taking the PSAT/NMSQT, and 12th grade students will be taking the SAT. All of these tests will be offered to students free of charge and are good practice for future college entrance exams. If you do not wish to have your student test we ask that you keep them home on the 13th as we will not be conducting regular classes that day. Please refer to the link below for a schedule of the activities for October 13th and don’t hesitate to give us a call at 541-935-8200 if you have any questions.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are October 14 from 4:00 – 8:00 PM and October 15 from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM. We will be conducting these conferences virtually. Please refer to the sign up link below to schedule a date and time to meet with your child’s teachers. Time slots are for 15 minutes and teachers will send you a link to a Google Meet for your designated time slot.

The Signup Link is now closed, please contact your student’s teacher directly if you still would like a conference.
Dear Families,
Recently, we learned that a student on campus has tested positive for COVID-19. As members of the school community, we understand that this might raise concerns alongside a caring response.
At this time, we are conducting contact tracing (if they have been on campus during the infectious period) which includes but is not limited to: reviewing cohort logs, interviewing staff, and checking cameras.
If contact tracing determines that your child is a close contact and needs to be quarantined, you will be personally contacted by school staff within 24-48 hours of the school being notified.
While it is our goal to keep students in school, please be vigilant in regards to watching for primary COVID symptoms. Primary symptoms include: fever of 100.4 or higher, cough, congestion, chills, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or loss of smell.
We will keep you updated with any new information as it comes out, while meeting the requirements to honor everyone’s right to privacy.
If you have any questions, please contact the school principal or Nurse Elliott, our district nurse, at selliott@fernridge.k12.or.us.
Please note that the date for this event has changed.
