🎓 First Day at SHS!
Welcome to the 2025–26 school year! Today, we are excited to welcome our 9th graders as they begin their high school journey. (10th–12th graders will join tomorrow!)
🚦 Please be patient during drop-off and pick-up today—it always takes a little longer the first day.
📸 Share your Bulldog’s first day of high school picture in the comments—we’d love to see it!
💙 Here’s to a strong start and a great year ahead!
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!

Act Now to Secure Summer EBT Benefits
This message is from the Oregon Department of Education - As summer begins to wind down, families have a limited window to secure essential food assistance through the Summer EBT program. The program offers $120 per child to help cover grocery costs when school food programs are not as easy to access. With the application deadline quickly approaching on Sept. 3, 2025, it's crucial for eligible families to act now.
Thousands of families may be unaware that they qualify for this essential benefit. The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) are urging families to check their eligibility and apply before the deadline. Remember, once benefits are received, you have 122 days to use them.
Most eligible children received their benefits automatically on May 22, 2025, if their households:
Participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Participate in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Are Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) members in households with incomes under 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level
Children in foster care also automatically received Summer EBT
However, families who did not receive benefits automatically, particularly those with children in Head Start programs that participate in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Programs, should still apply to determine their eligibility.
Families are encouraged to visit sebt.oregon.gov or contact the Summer EBT Call Center at 833-673-7328 to verify their eligibility and apply.
We hope you had a wonderful summer filled with rest, fun, and meaningful time with family and friends. As we prepare for another school year, we are excited to welcome all returning students and extend a warm greeting to our incoming 9th graders and new families.
Our school-wide focus this year is “All Means All.” This phrase reflects our deep commitment to ensuring every student feels valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. Together, with your partnership, we look forward to a year filled with growth, achievement, and connection.

Let’s have a great season — Go Bulldogs! 💙🐾
We hosted 5 teams and over 250 players and coaches for an incredible few days of hard work, growth, and team spirit. Sutherlin was proud to have 41 of our own athletes show up and work hard this summer!
Huge thanks to the players, coaches, families, and volunteers who made this camp possible. It was hot, but the teams plowed through with lots of water and rest.
💙 Go Bulldogs! 💪 #SutherlinStrong #BulldogPride #TeamCamp2025
