ATTENTION All EHS Seniors and Parents!

11 months ago, Elkton Charter School

FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION NIGHT TUESDAY, NOV. 19TH @ EHS 7-8 PM ALL EHS SENIORS AND PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.

In emergencies, the superintendent may alter district and transportation schedules. Such alterations may include closure of schools, closure of selected school(s) or grade levels, delayed openings, and early dismissal of students (District Policy EBCD). Please see the attached for information delivery and instructions to sign up for FlashAlert, an internet-based system used to share closures and delays with the media. Sometimes, depending on where a student lives, the decision to hold or not to hold school may seem contrary to students and parents opinion. The decision is made on the basis of our concern for the safety of children and while conditions may look good in one location, they may be treacherous in other areas of our district.

In emergencies, the superintendent may alter district and transportation schedules. Such alterations may include closure of all schools, closure of selected school(s) or grade levels, delayed openings, and early dismissal of students (District Policy EBCD). Changes in school or bus schedules will be announced in two ways. First, you will receive a text message and automated telephone call. Second, it will be posted to FlashAlert (*see below for details), and over the public radio and television stations listed below. In the event of school being dismissed early, attempts will be made to contact parents by telephone. KPNW 1120 AM KPIC TV http://flashalert.net/ OLDIES 99.1 FM KVAL TV KRNR 1490 AM KEZI TV *Instructions for FlashAlert – The Elkton Charter School uses an Internet-based system for delivering changes in schedule, such as snow closures, to the news media. The message delivery is being extended directly to the public through a system called FlashAlert. Through the FlashAlert.net website, Valley Information Network, (serving Lane, Linn, Benton, Douglas and Coos Counties) collects emergency information, news release and high school and college sports scores from dozens of schools and provides it to the news media via a continuously updated website and e-mails. It also automatically places this information into the websites of participating stations and newspapers. You may also choose to download the FlashAlert Messenger app to your smart phone. You are able to self-register and manage up to four home or office emails and receive emergency To register, go to FlashAlert.net and choose manage your messenger subscription, create a new account, Eugene/Springfield/Roseburg, Douglas County Schools and then Elkton School District then follow the directions entering your primary email, password and any additional emails you’d wish to include. When you are done, click “Update”. Don’t forget to verify your account through the email that is sent. Please be aware that with the proliferation of spam and the resulting spam filters, it is impossible to completely guarantee message delivery, since different filters block different messages. After adding or changing email addresses, have test messages sent to verify they will pass through your mail server’s filters. All addresses registered on FlashAlert will remain confidential and shall not be released to any person or organization. Once a year, you will receive an email at your primary address asking if you wish to continue your subscription.

If you have any questions or need help signing up for this service, contact the high school office at 541-584-2228 ext. #1. Because many of our students come from homes where there is a single parent or where both parents work, we are well aware of the potential problems caused by unexpected changes in school or bus schedules. Once at school, students will usually be kept there rather than being sent home without first contacting a parent or parent identified responsible person. There are times when it is judged best to send the student home, and of course, parents may come to school and check out a student if they feel they should. Sometimes, depending on where a student lives, the decision to hold or not to hold school may seem contrary to students and parents opinion. The decision is made on the basis of our concern for the safety of children and while conditions may look good in one location, they may be treacherous in other areas of our district. Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to dismiss school early and send children home before the regular time. This would happen only in serious emergencies or if the threat of adverse conditions made it expedient. Should it become necessary to send children home early we will make every effort to contact parents. It is important we have telephone numbers of those who should be contacted if the parents cannot be reached. No student will be released to another party without written permission or designated on emergency card. Please remember to update this information if the situation changes.

A message regarding Whooping Cough in Douglas County from our Student Health Specialist, Janessa Clark.

12 months ago, Elkton Charter School

11/6/24 Dear Parent or Guardian, The Elkton School District received notice that Pertussis, also known as Whooping Cough, is on the rise in Douglas County. Whooping Cough is a highly infectious illness that can be very troublesome at any age, but particularly young children, the immunocompromised, and the elderly. Symptoms are as follows: persistent cough that may occur in bouts (often with a breathless ‘whoop’ at the end), fever, body aches, fatigue, and increased risk of secondary respiratory infections (pneumonia). Someone with whooping cough is highly infectious for 3 weeks. Whooping cough and respiratory infections frequently spread in childcare centers and schools. If your child develops a troublesome and persistent cough, keep them home and take them to the doctor if deemed necessary. Whooping cough can last anywhere from 3 weeks to 100 days. Whooping cough can spread through coughing (droplet precautions) and can live on dry surfaces for days. If your child has been diagnosed with Whooping Cough, please take the proper precautions before returning to school. This is important to prevent further spread. Whooping cough vaccine is routinely given with vaccinations at 2, 4, and 6 months of age with booster doses given at 18 months, 4 years and in High School. A booster dose is also recommended for adults with a new baby in the household or at least every 10 years. This letter is meant to serve as a courtesy to keep you in the loop with Douglas County health and promote wellness throughout the school district. At this time, I am unaware of any positive cases within our school district. Wishing you and your family optimum health and comfort throughout cold and flu season. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me through the grade school. Janessa Clark RN Elkton Grade School Student Health Specialist (541) 584-2115 EXT 325
