This fall, students have two different ways to get involved with the LEGO program after school:

This is a competitive robotics program-- not a LEGO club. Students design and code robots, research an innovation project, and practice teamwork skills as they prepare for the qualifier on December 13, with the change to advance to state in January.

This is a fun, informal space where students can free-build with LEGO Technic pieces or play board games. It's a relaxed social opportunity, not a structured competition.

A notice to our community: Beginning Monday, September 8th, gate access to the CYMS track and turf field will be locked from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, school days. This is in an effort to improve safety for our students during the school day and ensure our PE programs have unimpeded use of the space. We appreciate the understanding and support of our Cal Young community.

This coming week, we will hold the first of our regular emergency drills. Throughout the school year, students and staff will participate in a variety of emergency drills in addition to traditional fire drills. Advisory lessons will cover the different types of drills students will experience throughout the year.

Please note that during drills, there will not be any lave arrivals or early releases processed until the drill is complete. Students returning from appointments should wait until the completion of the drill for entry to the building. We encourage parents picking students up for appointments or early departures to call ahead whenever possible. If a drill is to be conducted during your pick up time, the office will inform you at the time of your call so adjustments can be made for your student pick up.

We ask that appointments be scheduled during non- school hours as often as possible but recognize there are times when class must be missed to accommodate appointments. If you need to pick your child up from school early for an appointment or family reason, please call the front office, 541-790-6400, at least 30 minutes in advance of your needed pick up time. This allows us to have your student ready for you.

Parents do need to come in to the front office to sign their child out. Only those on a students approved list are permitted to pick a student up early from school.

This year we have a variety of spirit gear available to purchase either by order form or online. All orders are due by Friday, September 27th.

Parents are encouraged to order online when possible, however, paper order forms are available in the front office. Please make any checks payable to Cal Young Middle School and include your student's name in the memo section.

As we start of the school year, you may be thinking about how your student gets to school. Walking, biking, skating, scooting, riding the bus, or carpooling all build independence while supporting health, focus in class, and the environment. If driving is the only option, try parking a few blocks away and having them walk the rest. of the way It helps avoid parking lot stress and gives them some physical activity before the day begins.
