Welcome to Estacada Junior High

Estacada Junior High School is committed to doing whatever it takes to create the conditions where all members of our school community feel secure, take personal responsibility for their choices, develop good citizenship, and strive to achieve their highest potential. We are proud that Estacada School District does not discriminate against an individual's race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, age or disability.

A Bundle of Good Things Happening!

* Homework Club is now offered Monday - Thursday for 2 hours each day.  Bussing is available to all students who sign up in advance.  You can get sign up information at the office.
 
* Our Valentine's Day dance is a "more" formal event than the usual dance.  Boys are asked to wear a collared shirt of some kind (clean, pressed jeans are just fine).  Young ladies are asked to wear dresses with straps, or to wear a shoulder shrug if the dress is completely strapless.  Please remember that modesty is our guide:  if a teacher or administrator at the school would look inappropriate wearing the clothing, it's an outfit inappropriate for a student.  
 
The dance takes place on Saturday, February 13 from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m.
 
* Our TAG Parent Group is hosting an event for students that also serves as a fund-raiser.  For $25.00, students get to spend the night at EJHS on 2/26 from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.  We'll provide meals every two hours, a variety of activities, and 10:1 student to adult supervision.  (We are needing volunteers - please email me if you're interested).  
 
Students are eligible to attend IF they have all assignments turned in AND have no referrals that have lead to in school or out of school suspension (in the 30 days before the event).
 
Look for more information as well as a volunteer sign up sheet at conferences.  Also, please review the letter from Ms. Pittioni in the "Principal's Perspective" accessible from the "Parent Resources" link in the menu at left.

Ongoing Community Support Activities

 EJHS has committed itself to helping the Estacada Food Bank. Every Tuesday and Friday we send 3 students to the Food Bank to help stock shelves, re-package food, and unload shipments from the Oregon Food Bank. Our student volunteers come from a group of over 30 students who have signed up to participate. This is our 2nd year of providing student volunteers to the Estacada Food Bank and we are very proud of how the ranks of students wanting to participate have swelled. They are learning that giving back to their community feels good.

In addition to the student volunteers, we have launched our Perpetual Support Program. This program recognizes that we have hungry families in our community all year long, not just during the holidays when food drives have traditionally been run. We ask that students and community members, who are able to do so, bring in non-perishable food items, toiletries, and pet foods to the Junior High so that we may take these much needed supplies to the Food Bank. With all of us working together we can make a huge difference. Many of our students already feel the satisfaction and warmth that comes with helping others. Feel it for yourself by donating to our Perpetual Support Program

.

Donate to Educate

For some time now we have registered with the Donate 2 Educate organization.  Donate 2 Educate provides dissemination of specific needs of a classroom out to the greater public.  They have also partnered with our own Estacada Community Foundation in order help generate even more support.  This is accomplished primarily through their website; www.donate2educate.com  We encourage you to visit the site and, at the very least, explore the needs of your school.  It's amazing how little it really takes, sometimes, to make a big difference.

Super Easy JH Fundraiser!

Ms. Wood, one of our outstanding math instructors, has found a super easy way for all of us to help support EJHS!  Keep reading to find out how you can help!  The fundraiser is called "Goodsearch.com".  It is a web search engine.  Every search that is made in the name of the Jr. High results in approximately a one cent donation.  In addition, if internet purchases are made through goodsearch, up to 5% of what is spent is donated back to the school!  When you use goodsearch to make purchases, you DO NOT end up getting spammed with information from the stores.

This is what you do:  go to www.goodsearch.com and enter Estacada  in the spot where it asks which charity you are supporting.  Click on verify and the Jr. High should appear in the box.  Then just search.
  So far, we have made $6.09 with very little effort and only a few people using itThere is a lot of information at the website if you have any questions.  It is easy to make goodsearch your default search engine and it will automatically come up when you sign on the internet.  Please give it a try and tell your friends!
