A gift of solidarity: Students bond over resilience in face of Labor Day fires
Students from Southern Oregon and the McKenzie River Valley did not know each other before this week, but they share a bond forged by the devastating Labor Day fires in 2020.
A group of students from the Phoenix-Talent School District visited McKenzie High School to deliver a gift in solidarity.

McKenzie Families,
What an interesting Spring week filled with snow!
Take a look at this update from Mr. Tompkins about some positive changes happening on campus this coming Fall.

Good Morning McKenzie,
ONLY the bus UP RIVER from the school will be on snow routes morning and afternoon.
The two DOWN RIVER from the school buses will run their regular routes morning and afternoon. Thank you
Hello MRCS parents, staff and community: Just a friendly reminder, school policy is that if we run snow routes in the morning we are also on snow routes in the afternoon. Snow routes also mean no after school activities, including sports practices. All students will head home at the end of the day. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause and thank you for your assistance.
Good Morning McKenzie,
Buses will be on snow routes this morning. Please refer to the communication sent out yesterday afternoon with bus stop times for the morning and afternoon. Thank you

McKenzie Families,
McKenzie School District is seeking volunteers to help in our school! It has been more than two years since limitations were put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With case rates improving and restrictions being eased in most areas of our daily life, we’d like to welcome back our vital volunteers!
Volunteers play significant roles at McKenzie by supporting classroom instruction, field trips and co-curricular activities such as sports teams and clubs. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit our website www.mckenziesd.org/page/volunteer, complete the volunteer information packet and return to the District, High School or Elementary Offices.
If you have been approved to volunteer for MRCS in past years, ask for the yearly Volunteer Renewal Form. We look forward to welcoming back our volunteers, both new and returning!
Under Oregon law, volunteers are required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
Lane Tompkins,
Superintendent
Hello McKenzie families and community: We wanted to give you an update, as we are still in transition to the new system. Calls can now be answered in the elementary building office, (541)822-3315, at this time they are unable to transfer calls to other buildings.
If you need to reach the District Office call (541)822-3338 or the middle/high building office at (541)822-3313. Thank you
We hope you have been having a wonderful spring break!
Here's a quick note from Mr.Tompkins on the changes to our masking policy as you get ready to head back on Monday.
Thank you for being patient and understanding as we have had to navigate so many changes over the last two years.
