Second Semester Change only days away…..

Just a reminder to families that Fern Ridge Middle School will be changing our schedule beginning Monday, January 29th. Some things to remember as we move forward with this very important change:

1. School will start at 8:20 with the warning bell at 8:15. Students are considered late if they are not in their seats when the bell rings.
2. School will end at 3:15 each day, except for Wednesdays when it will end at 1:32.
3. Bus routes and times have changed. Please click on the link on the right hand side of this page to find your student’s new bus time and bus route. Please make sure your child knows what bus they will be taking to school and what bus they will be taking home. If you have any questions at all about how to read the schedule or the information on the schedule, please call the bus barn at 541-935-1969, or the school at 541-935-8230.
4. We have completed forecasting and are in the process of scheduling students. Students will not be able to pick up their schedules until the morning of January 29th. However if you know how to get into home access, you can get your child’s schedule on Sunday, January 28th when the finalized schedules will be posted to the database. If you do not know how to get into Home Access, please call the office before the 25th and Stacy or Casey will walk you through it.
5. Teaching assignments have changed for almost every teacher. This means that most students will have a change in their schedule. After the 29th, if you would like to discuss a schedule change, you can contact Ms. Johnson or Mr. Chambers at the school to discuss a possible schedule change. Schedule changes for students will not be made for social reasons (i.e. to have the same class or the same lunch as their friend/s)   No schedule changes will be made after February 9th.
6. Every student has seven classes (language arts, science, math, social studies, P.E.) and two electives. Thank you to those students who returned their forecasting sheets. Students who did not return their forecasting sheets were assigned electives.
7. The building will open at 7:50. Breakfast will be served in the commons from 7:50 to 8:15.
