Ranger Report
October 13, 2023
Hello Ranger Families:
In this issue of the Ranger Report, I want to address the harm that was caused against our community last Tuesday. Unfortunately, threats of violence are increasing in public schools around the nation and our community is not immune. These threats impact everyone, and I want to acknowledge the very real emotions that we all experienced that evening. Our primary job at Estacada High School and my commitment to you is to take care of our kids. Last Tuesday was a reminder of how important that commitment is and how important it is that our community shares in that responsibility.
Thank you all who alerted school administration and law enforcement to the threat. Our community is small and we take care of one another. That value and partnership is vital to our success. Thank you to our law enforcement agency who acted quickly and with care to respond as information emerged. Thank you to everyone for conversations now and conversation soon to be had about how we can all work to prevent future threats by demonstrating our core Ranger values and showing empathy in our lives, in the words we choose and in the actions we model to each other every day.
Tuesday was impactful, and I want to remind everyone that our counselors are standing ready to assist any student who needs help processing this event. In addition, the Estacada School District will host a town hall on Tuesday, October 17th at 7:00 p.m. in room 35 at the High School to review our safety processes and procedures and to answer any questions you may have. Our schools are safe and ready to continue deep and meaningful learning for every student. Thank you and enjoy your weekend.

Senior Photos
SENIOR PHOTOS are due February 1. They can be sent via email to Jordan Collins at collinsj@estacada.k12.or.us. All photos must be high quality and in portrait format. On the retake picture day, all seniors will take a Tux or Drape photo in case they do not submit a senior photo!
Life is full of distractions that keep us from performing our best.
Our expectation is that classrooms are cell phone free zones.
The classroom is a space for learning and engagement in preparation for a student’s next step in life. Join us in fostering this commitment to learning by:
Talking with your student about their cell phone use in school.
Be prepared to set limits and to collaborate with school staff in making learning a priority.
