Estacada High School
EHS College Application Week - November 7-8
Every Day Matters
Your child's regular attendance in school encourages academic and social-emotional success. Together, families, educators, and community members can support a child's attendance and help each student stay on the path to success.
It doesn't matter whether the absences are excused or unexcused -- each missed day represents missed learning time. Missed days add up quickly: When a student misses as few as two days a month, that’s 10% of the school year. This increases the risk of academic and social-emotional struggles. (2 absences a month x by nine months = 18 days/10% of missed school days in a school year.)
School + You = Success

Estacada High School Halloween Dress-Up Policy
Students and staff are allowed to wear Halloween costumes to school. We do ask that anyone wearing a Halloween costume adhere to a few rules to ensure the safety of everyone. These rules include:
No face coverings such as masks, disguising makeup, or sunglasses allowed. You must be identifiable.
No violent or overly large accessories - swords, guns, pitchforks, look-alike weapons, and the like are not allowed.
As the Estacada High School dress code is still in effect...Students wearing disruptive, offensive, culturally insensitive, or racist costumes will be asked to change them immediately. Students choosing to wear costumes must be able to sit in their desk without distracting others and participate fully in all class activities.
