Schedule Change Coming Soon- Bus Routes and Bell Schedules for Parents

Just a reminder to parents that beginning January 29th, Fern Ridge Middle School will switch from a six periods a day schedule to a seven periods a day schedule. Students will have their five core classes (P.E., Science, Math. Language Arts, and Social Studies) along with two electives. Last week we completed forecasting and have students preliminarily assigned to their electives. Finalized schedules will be given out to students the first day of second semester.

In the meantime, to help families plan for the transition we have posted the bell schedule that will start on January 29th. Please note that the warning bell will now ring at 8:15 and students are expected to be in class and ready to go at 8:20. On our regular school days (Mo, Tu, Th, Fr) school will end at 3:15 and on Wednesdays it will end at 1:32.

We will also be changing bus routes and schedules. On the right hand side of this page under Quick Links, parents will find a copy of the new bus routes and schedules. These will go into effect on January 29th. If you have any  questions about your child’s bus schedule for second semester, pleas contact the bus barn at 541-935-1969.

Thank you again for your flexibility. We are very excited about being able to add more opportunities for learning into our master schedule.

Update: We’ve had a lot of questions about what time the doors will open second semester. Doors will open at 7:50 AM. Warning bell will be at 8:15. Students must be in class and ready to go at 8:20.
