Dear EHS Students and Families,

As we plan for a beginning like no other we have seen in the past, our focus will still be to ensure that:

every student, every day is feeling inspired,

every student, every day is engaged by new learnings and experiences,

and every student, every day knows we will do everything possible to ensure they achieve greatness.

The Spring of 2020 has challenged staff, students, and families to find a new normal for learning, connected us in new ways, and required our staff to support from afar. What I have most learned through this process is how much I appreciate the expertise our teachers bring to our district and EHS, the ways in which our students continue to work hard to grow and overall, appreciation for the little things in life, giving a high five, a hug or being able to walk alongside a friend. What I MOST appreciate about our school community is how even under circumstances we have never experienced we are still dedicated to ensuring our students are supported.

Normal is such a simple word and it is our goal at EHS to not only find our new normal but to use this time as a learning experience that will forever impact the learning environment of EHS. Our fall may not be “normal,” but our learning will not only continue, but it will thrive. The Estacada School District has built a best-in-class online learning platform, allowing students to experience school anywhere while learning daily alongside their peers, guided by a highly qualified teacher creating individualized instruction for your student. We can’t wait to move on to the next phase of learning under Covid-19 and we know, all returning and new students to EHS will be welcomed with open arms (virtually and eventually from 6 feet away) to our community - we will continue to grow!

Our EHS staff have been and will continue to work diligently to ensure the beginning of the 20-21 school year is a success. I personally want to thank you in advance for your patience and partnership. Below is important information for the beginning of school.
