Welcome!                                                                           

Located in the gateway to the spectacular Oregon Cascades, our school district provides exceptional opportunities for students. 100 percent of our teachers are rated Highly Qualified, and we are making a long-term investment in their success using the “Four Characteristics of Improved School Districts.” (Click Here for PDF) Our schools are constantly broadening options for students by offering a growing number of online courses, in addition to more traditional classes.  We work closely with families through parent clubs, online links to teachers and student progress data. We offer an innovative Family Support Program and health services that are designed to keep kids in school and learning. The work is paying off: Students at every level and in every subgroup are making progress in reading and mathematics. We take great pride in our students and our schools.

WE'RE PROUD OF OUR NEW SCHOOL!

Thanks to the more than 250 people who attended the grand opening of Hillside Elementary School on April 11^th. We’re confident that it will be a wonderful learning space for many generations of children. 

 
4 WINTER SPORTS TEAMS ON ACADEMIC ALL-STATE LIST

Congratulations to the student athletes on the Eagle Point High School cheerleading, wrestling and basketball teams. They have earned Academic All-State recognition from the Dairy Farmers of Oregon and the Oregon School Activities Association. The cheerleading team, coached by Jordan Gieg, earned Top 10 honors in Class 5A with a 3.35 grade-point average. Girls basketball, coached by Paul Bell, made All-State with a 3.48 GPA. Boys basketball, coached by Bryan Wood, posted a 3.3 GPA, and wrestling, coached by Kacey McNulty, posted a 3.0 GPA. These honors reflect the dedication that our players and coaches bring to the classroom as well as to their sports. Go, Eagles!
 

 
STUDENTS MAKE ACROSS-THE-BOARD ACHIEVEMENT GAINS

Our students raised their achievement in reading and math across the board in the 2010-11 academic year. Performance on standardized tests improved at the elementary, middle and high school levels in every subgroup, including those with special needs and those still learning English. Congratulations to our students, staff and community for this strong accomplishment. Can we do more? Of course. Our job is to add value for our students, and that means always striving for improvement – school by school as well as across the district.

STAY INFORMED ABOUT CONTRACT BARGAINING

Bargaining teams from the school district and employee association are negotiating a new contract for teachers and classified support staff. The school district’s goal is an agreement that protects the school year, vital services for students and jobs. We have offered to increase employee pay and benefits by $4.3 million over three years. We also have proposed changes in work rules to ensure that students have the maximum available time in class. Our proposal fits budget realities, with no need to cut programs or raise taxes.
