We wanted to share a quick update as many of you may have noticed an ambulance at the school today. There was a minor medical situation, and out of an abundance of caution, emergency services were called. The student involved is okay and receiving appropriate care. All students and staff are safe. Thank you for your concern and support.

We know the holidays can sneak up fast. 🎁✨
If you could use some extra support with gifts this year, Echo School is here to help.
Applications due November 17th.

10 of our ASB students recently attended the Oregon Association of Student Council's Fall Conference in Seaside. While there the students collaborated with leadership students from all over Oregon. They learned how to be effective leaders, gathered new and fun ideas for activities and assemblies while growing as individuals and bonding as a group. Here are a few pictures from the wonderful weekend!
