Family (Parent)-Teacher Conferences:
Our unofficial start for this year’s Fall Family-Teacher Conferences will be November 21. Staff, especially elementary teachers, have begun scheduling parent meetings after hours. Officially conferences will be held on November 25th and 26th.
Parents are reminded that we understand our families may have challenges juggling the demands of work and raising their children. Our teachers are willing to discuss student progress individually and additional one-to-one meetings can always be arranged as needed. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers to do so.
The District also provides the option for virtual meetings using a platform such as Google Meets. If you have not already downloaded our parent-teacher application ParentVue, please consider doing so. It is a valuable tool that will help parents track their student’s progress and communicate with their child’s teachers.
FFA Dinner & Auction –Save the Date!:
The Eagle Point 17th Annual Dinner and Auction will be held on Saturday, December 14th at the Seven Feathers Event Center located on the Jackson County Exposition Grounds. The Doors will open at 5:00 p.m. Further information about tickets and donations can be found on the links:

CTE Regional Center:
During last month’s Superintendent’s report I spoke about a project the Southern Oregon ESD is currently working towards that would create a CTE Regional Center. At that time, I expressed my concerns about the projected overall cost per student. Also at the time of my reporting, the facility was planned to be on or close to EPSD9 boundaries and located near the White City Rogue Community College (RCC) Campus. Since my report, this location has changed and the SOESD is looking for sites within Medford.
Because of the additional distance plus the overall costs for student enrollment, I have informed SOESD that our District will not be participating in the initial project. We are hopeful that we can do so in the future.
D9 Foundation:
The D9 Foundation is a non-profit all volunteer organization dedicated to providing scholarships for every Eagle Point graduate. Fundraising is vitally important to keeping the scholarships coming to our students. If you are an Eagle Point alumni and are interested in joining this organization please feel free to reach out to the organization at D9Foundation@gmail.com.
2024-2025 Calendar:
Our student calendar for the coming year can be found here. Parents please note that we have professional development days scheduled for Sept. 27, Oct. 18, Jan. 17, Feb. 14, Mar. 14, and April 18. These days will be “non attendance” days for students.
