IB Registration is Underway
IB Registration is underway! If your student is a junior or senior, please talk to them about IB testing this year. Students can earn between 4-12 college credits per IB subject they register for, totaling between $1000-4000 in college tuition savings! Exams costs $103 per test, but families who qualify for SNAP benefits and other federal income assistance are exempt from the fee. Please ask your student for the yellow registration form they should have received in their IB classes, or

PSAT/SAT MAKEUP DAYWe wanted to inform you that the district is coordinating a makeup day for the PSAT/SAT. It’s still unclear if makeup testing will be held at multiple locations or just one. While we don’t have specific details yet regarding the date, time, or location, we will share that information with you as soon as it becomes available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Halloween Downtown EugeneDowntown Eugene Halloween event, on Saturday October 26 from 1:00pm - 6:00pm.
Halloween Downtown is the City of Eugene’s biggest and most popular event, with the express goal of bringing people from all corners of downtown to celebrate the season in a safe and festive setting.

As in past years, there will be trick-or-treating of more than 50 participating downtown merchants, costumed entertainment, a live DJ, food and craft vendors, ghoulish flash mobs and a pet parade to start it off! Costumes are encouraged and these activities have been especially popular with elementary school aged children in past years.
Some new attractions occurring this year for school aged children will include a haunted bus presented by Lane Transit District, a magical maze presented by Eugene Public Library, and Monster Lab, in the Broadway Commerce Center, a “build-your-own-monster” hands-on activity presented by Mecca.
One new element this year is the Monstrous Map of the Macabre, a scavenger hunt of spooky attractions that brings an appeal for older children and youth, middle school age, high school age and adults.
