The district will hold online information sessions about school choice. Spanish interpretation will be available.

Eugene International High School (Eugene IHS) is a choice school for students in grades nine through twelve offering a four-year interdisciplinary humanities curriculum focused on international studies. Students spend two class periods each school day in their IHS classes and the other three class periods in host school classes. ANY student can enroll. All interested students must fill out an online 4J School Choice application, regardless of attendance area: www.4j.lane.edu/choice . The in-district deadline is January 31st.

  • Immersion students will be enrolled in Eugene IHS without the lottery process because they entered immersion through the lottery in elementary or middle school. However, immersion students do need to submit the Eugene IHS Enrollment Form to the Eugene IHS office at South or Sheldon by the January 31st deadline. This form will be included in a special mailing to immersion families.

WINTER WEATHER- http://www.4j.lane.edu/weather/

Winter weather is on its way! Here is some key information families need to know.

When hazardous weather is a concern, decisions regarding schedule changes are made in the early morning, before school, when current weather conditions can be assessed. Decisions are made district wide and are the same for every 4J school.

Our main concern is the safety of our students and staff. We also believe students and families are best served when schools are open. We will always do our best to make the best decision possible, taking into account all of the factors.

Senior Portrait Update – Due Date Extended to Jan. 29th!

Our editor-in-chief has provided a list of seniors that have not submitted a portrait for the yearbook. In the hope of dwindling that list down, we are reaching out to you again, extending the deadline to January 29th. Please submit your photo as soon as possible. Senior portrait information.

Please be certain to click on ‘portrait’ within the HJ eShare app so that the file goes into our portrait section of the library. Please check the dpi before submitting, as a dpi of 300 is standard; a dpi lower than that might look fine on your phone or computer screen, but it could look pixelated when in print. If you do not know how to adjust the dpi of your image, you might find this site helpful: https://convert.town/image-dpi

Please upload the portrait via HJ eShare: https://www.hjeshare.com/eShare/
