Mrs. Herbert and Mrs. Perrier from EES are planning a 3k virtual fun run! The flyer below includes most of the information you need. Also included at the bottom of this post is a “virtual bib” and a “virtual finished picture banner.” You do not NEED either one of these items, but they are there for your convenience and fun if you want one. The bib can be printed (with any number you want)–and worn when you run, and the “banner” can be held up when you and or your family finish your run and want to take a picture! The pictures can be emailed to the email address on the flyer. Anyone that sends in a picture will be eligible for a grand prize drawing of a one year Family Pass to Willamalane Parks and Recreation. The pictures sent in will also be used in a video that will go out on social media. If you want to be included in the drawing, but not in the social media posts, just mention that in the email that you send.

UPDATED MEAL ROUTES: Route 13, beginning tomorrow May 6th, will drop the Fleck stop and add a stop at the Department of Forestry Parking lot. CLICK HERE for the updated meal bus route schedule.
PACKET PICK-UP AND DELIVERY: This continues every Monday. Yesterday we were able to pick up over 40 packets, and deliver around 20. If you would like to try out having your distance learning packet delivered, please communicate with your child’s teacher or school. The route and stop times can be viewed by CLICKING HERE.
May 4 to May 8 is the week set aside to recognize teachers for the extraordinary work they do with our students.
Great teachers do more than teach reading, writing, and math. They help set our children up for success in life. Whether students enter into a trade, go to college, or jump into a career, they are more prepared for life because of the teachers who guided and supported them along the way.
Even when faced with the incredible task of educating students virtually on a moment’s notice, our Fern Ridge teachers have shown they are dedicated to their students, no matter the circumstances.
Now more then ever we want to recognize the teachers who step into the lives of their students and make a positive impact. Please join me by thanking all of our Fern Ridge teaching staff!
Elevate Lane County is an organization that develops comprehensive systems for connecting students to careers in high-demand, high-wagE positions in our community.
The flyer linked below is specifically aimed at graduated high school seniors of the class of 2020–but all high school students are welcome.
Visit the link below for information regarding the checkout of chromebooks to FRMS students that need them!
RETURNING DISTANCE LEARNING PACKETS/WORK: There are several ways this can occur. While teachers would like to get completed work back so they can review it, assess it, and provide feedback to the students, we understand this may be a challenge for some so just do the best you can.
- Families who have been picking up their packets can continue to do so. There will be a “Return Work/ Completed Packets” box at each building. When you come to school to pick up the new week’s packet, please deposit the previous week’s packet in the box. Paperclips will be available if the packet has been taken apart. Please make sure your child’s name is on each page in the packet in the event that the packet becomes separated.
- Families may also choose to scan and email their child’s packet directly to the teacher. Staff Contact Information link.
- For families that are needing to have packets mailed to them, we will have a bus route to collect finished packets every Monday. You can CLICK HERE to see the routes and “stops” along those routes. These routes begin after the lunch/meal drop off routes that occur each day. These “homework pick-up” routes begin anywhere from 11:50 AM-12:30 PM. If a bus does not come by your exact location, and you cannot make it to one of these stops at the designated times, contact Amie at the bus barn at 541-935-1969 and we see if we can accommodate you. Please contact your school as early as possible the week prior to ensure we can make this happen.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Good morning FRSD families. We continue to serve around 1100 meals a day to the youth of the community. Thank you for continuing to access this. The staff loves to see the students at the bus stops or come through VES.
There has been one change to the routes that will begin today, Tuesday the 21st. The stop at the top of Bolton Hill is not being accessed, so we are moving that stop down to Woodland St. and 5th street. Hopefully, it will get more use there.
