Middle School games will now have a charge of $2 per person for those five years and older. We apologize for this, yet the increase of cleaning requirements and having to hire multiple people to referee and take care of contact tracing, this is the step we need to take.


We are in need of substitutes for cleaning, in the kitchen, as well as in the classroom. If you are interested in getting on our substitute list, please call Mrs. McGinn or Mrs. Turner. 541.898.2244 ext. 8821 or 541.898.2373. Thank you!

For those of you who are picking up your child, please read. Pick-up is in front of the old school. We really need all parents/guardians staying in your vehicles and driving in front of the old school. You can pull into the parking area, we will then send your child to your vehicle, and you can leave. For a variety of reasons and safety, please do this. If you have any questions, please contact the administration. Thank you!


7th & 8th Grade students need to have a permission form signed to go off campus at lunch. Parents, please fill out and return this form.
