The East and West PTOs Have Merged Facebook Pages
The PTOs for East Primary and West Intermediate have combined their efforts and now share one Facebook page for updates, events, and communication.

✨ Grateful for Our Generous Community ✨
Each year, we are amazed by the kindness of our community. This school year, we’ve received generous school supply donations from the SKP Park of Sutherlin, private donors, J Lindeen Brown State Farm Insurance, and First American Title. 🎒✏️📚
These donations go directly into the hands of our students and teachers—helping to fill backpacks, stock classrooms, and support our student-run Care Closet. The impact is immediate and powerful: more students with the tools they need to learn and thrive.
Thank you to everyone who continues to show up for our schools with boxes, bags, and backpacks full of supplies. What a wonderful community we live in. 💙🐾

Our hallways and classrooms are full again, and it feels great to see students ready to learn and grow. Thank you for your patience as we navigate new bus routes, build routines, and practice new skills (including our “no phones” policy).
As we head into the weekend, just a few quick reminders:
Bus Routines: Expect a little extra time as routes continue to settle. Thank you for your patience at drop-off and pick-up. Schoolwide Routines: Students are already showing growth in adapting to classroom expectations and transitions.
Devices: Please help us by reinforcing our no-phone policy at home—it makes a difference for focus and connection during the day.
We are grateful for our students, staff, and families. Here’s to a strong start and an even better year ahead! 💙🐾


Welcome back Bullpups! We are off to a great start here at East, with lots of smiles in the hallways and classrooms. Here is our September Bullpup Bulletin, packed with helpful information to keep us all connected and working together. It's going to be a great year!

From kindergarten to senior year, our first week was filled with smiles, friendships, and fresh starts. We loved seeing brothers and sisters, new friends, and solo smiles—all ready for an amazing school year.
Our classrooms and hallways are full again, and it feels so good to have our students back! Take a look through the collage—so many happy faces (and see if you can spot the one little grumpy gus hiding among the smiles 😉).
We are so grateful to live, learn, and grow in this community. 💫 Thank you, families, for sharing your amazing kids with us—we love having our students back!
Here’s to a bright 2025–2026 school year, Go Bulldogs! 📚✨

🎉 First Day of School at East Primary!
Welcome to the 2025–26 school year! Today, we are welcoming our Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd-grade students back to school. Kindergarten students will only attend for half a day for the first two weeks.
🚗 Drop-off and pick-up always take a little longer for a week or two—thank you for your patience and kindness as everyone learns the routines.
📸 We’d love to see your child’s first day smile—share a picture in the comments below!
💙 Have a wonderful first day of learning and fun!


As we begin the new school year, we want to remind our entire community to help keep our students safe as they travel to and from school.
✅ Drivers — Please Remember:
🚸 Slow down near school zones and bus stops
🚫 STOP when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out
⏱️ Be patient — student safety is worth the wait
🔁 Never pass a school bus on the right
👀 Watch for students crossing the street, especially in early mornings and afternoons
🧒 Families — Please Review with Students:
🟡 Wait in a safe place away from the road
🟡 Always cross in front of the bus when loading or unloading
🟡 Listen to your bus driver — they’re there to keep you safe!
🟡 Stay seated and keep your hands and belongings inside the bus
📚 At Sutherlin Schools, safety is our top priority. Let’s work together—drivers, parents, students, and staff—to ensure every child arrives at school and home safely.
💙🐾 Thank you for helping us create a safe and respectful school community!
