School GoalsAt Sweet Home Junior High School, "students are our business." As a professional learning community, we are committed to giving each child, every chance to achieve their potential by focusing on four priority areas:1. Outstanding Achievement

2. Thriving Citizens

3. Thriving Community

4. Safe, Welcoming Facilities and Services

State GoalsThe Oregon Department of Education is partnering with school districts and local communities to ensure a 90% on-time, four year graduation rate by 2025. To progress toward this goal, the state will prioritize efforts to improve attendance, provide a well-rounded education, invest in implementing culturally responsive practices, and promote continuous improvement to close opportunity and achievement gaps for historically and currently underserved students.

Safe & Welcoming EnvironmentAt Sweet Home Junior High, we use several different platforms to connect with stakeholders in our school community: monthly newsletters or notes sent home with the students, direct mailers, auto-call attendance alerts, personal phone calls, parent emails and posts to school social media pages. This year, we will also be utilizing the Remind App to assist staff and coaches in communicating with parents about school events. Throughout the year, we also provide ongoing training to students and staff in SRP safety protocols and PBIS systems.
