Family Steam Night coming in 2026!
January is School Board Appreciation month and we'd like to take a moment to recognize that absolutely integral part of our district.

These five board members are dedicated every day to making our schools, our district and our community better. They take time out of their busy lives constantly and consistently to do whatever it takes to keep our kids and our staff safe, secure and happy, and our district healthy and moving forward.

Most importantly, their decisions , guidance and hard work makes it possible for all our district staff to do what we do best: nurture and develop lifelong learners who are knowledgeable, responsible and caring citizens.

Thank you, School Board! We couldn't do it without you!

Go, Bulldogs!

Family Steam Night coming in 2026!

Hello 8th Grade Families!

In June we will take the 8th grade students on a trip to the Hellgate Jetboats in Grants Pass. This is to celebrate their hard work in middle school. Since we want to honor the hard work and good behaviors they have demonstrated there are some requirements for the trip.

The requirements are:

  • 80% Attendance for entire year

  • No F in core classes for second semester AND no more than 2 F's total across all classes for second semester.

  • No OSS all Second Semester and no ISS last 9 weeks.

  • No more than 10 referrals for the entire school year

  • No more than 15 tardies for 2nd Semester

We wanted to start making you aware now. As the end of the year gets close you will be notified if your student is in danger of not going on the trip.

Tryout times!!!
Please be aware; There was some damage to the middle school gymnasium last Friday night. An errant driver hit the building causing unknown damage. Before any SMS kids can use the space, it needs to be evaluated by an engineer. Thus, we are moving SMS PE students to the High School Gymnasium until further notice. Also, Boys Basketball tryouts and practices will be held in Sutherlin High School gym after school this week.
