Any Middle School student staying after school in Extension will need to be checked out by a parent or authorized adult before heading to the field for Homecoming on Friday, Sept. 27. Please check out your child directly with the MS Extension teachers by walking into the MS building or calling 503-416-9502.

On Homecoming day, we invite students to wear spirit wear and bring in a box of pasta to launch our school-wide food drive!
Look for information about the parent trip meetings here including trip slideshows and packing lists.
As we start off the school year, we are working with students to better understand our Middle School Community Commitments that guide our work as a community. As Michael Spencer mentioned at the beginning of the school year, we are striving to build a Beloved Community “where all voices are valued and heard and where we promote a pluralistic educational environment grounded in a diversity of perspectives, inquiry, dialogue, and respect.”

Join Pride Alliance for its kick-off planning meeting of the year.
What an exciting week as we started classes in the Middle School! It has been so wonderful to see so many parents and students in the building and on campus this week. From the faculty clapping in all the Middle Schoolers after the Belltower Ceremony to our first Gathering together, it has been a week full of exciting firsts. The first week can be overwhelming as it is a big transition to jump to Middle School, and it is also so joyful in our building as students forge new friendships, meet their teachers, and explore what it means to be a Middle Schooler at OES.
