We know it has been a challenging year, but we are so proud of our teachers, staff and students.
We are grateful for our Eagle family.
We are so proud of your efforts during a very challenging quarter. You have been already working to learn with COVID-19 and then overcoming hurdles created by the Holiday Farm fire. You have continued to show us how much you value education.
We want to remind you the end of the quarter is now December 3.
As a district, we are offering middle and high school parents two options during the first and second quarters. You can choose to have your child receive a letter grade or opt for a pass no pass option. We believe that offering multiple options may alleviate some of the stress students and families face while navigating distance learning.
Parents of middle and high school students should call the high school office 541-822-3313 or email hsoffice@mckenziesd.org and share which option you’ve chosen for your student.
The deadline to share your choice is Tuesday, December 1st.
The district is working hard to find additional options for students to access staffed support for their Comprehensive Distance Learning classes. We hope to have some good news in the coming weeks.
Your physical and mental health is our top priority, and we will continue to look for ways to make sure this school year remains a positive experience for you and your family.

Hi Eagles!
Here’s a message from Mr. Tompkins and a good reminder of safe practices as we head into the two-week statewide freeze implemented by Governor Brown.
The mandate states that indoor and outdoor social get-togethers are limited to six people, total, from no more than two households.
Please do your part so we can get together again soon.
