Signing Out
Students who wish to leave campus must always indicate their destination on the sign-out sheet with the dorm parent. Students may not leave the campus alone. During weekday afternoons (Monday through Friday), when students do not have school/athletic-related obligations, they must sign out with a dorm parent on duty and stay within the Raleigh Hills area. When a student is on campus and not signed out, they can be anywhere on the school property but cannot cross the bridge onto Nicol Road or go to the wetlands.

Signing In
Once students return to campus, they must sign in with the dorm parent on duty in person.

Transportation
Students may walk, call a taxi, take the bus or the MAX train system, or travel with a day student, host family, or guardian. If a boarder is to travel in a private vehicle, they must have permission from their parents as well as their dorm parents. Since Portland is a major metropolitan area, we require every boarding student to travel with at least one other person.

Taxis, buses and MAX are readily available. All use of taxis is on a cash-only basis. Tri-Met bus service connects OES to all parts of the city and there is a bus stop within walking distance of the campus.

Students needing transportation should complete a request form with the Afternoon Coordinator. If appointments are quite frequent, a student’s account may be charged for the additional driving need.
