Hello Gervais Families,
We understand that there is some confusion over an incorrect version of the school calendar that lists tomorrow as a day off for students . We want to clarify that tomorrow, Friday, May 22nd, is a regular school day. We apologize for the error.
Monday is Memorial Day and is a day off for students. Please enjoy the long weekend and national holiday honoring U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the Armed Forces.

We just realized that the GHS and GMS calendar posted on the district website has a mistake this week, and we want to clarify that there will be school this Friday, but not on Monday. Monday is Memorial Day, a national holiday, to honor all U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the Armed Forces. Thanks

Gervais High School will be conducting Oregon’s Student Educational Equity Development (SEED) Survey for grades 9-11 on April 28. The SEED Survey will help ODE gather information about the educational experiences of students in Oregon. This information will help ODE to develop appropriate resources and supports for districts in Oregon, and better target those resources where they are most needed. SEED Survey data may also help districts develop a fuller picture of their local contexts and make strategic modifications to curriculum, instruction, and related academic supports that they offer students.
We plan to have each student complete this quick survey, unless their family completes the opt-out form. More information, including opt-out instructions, is in the attached flyer and answers to additional questions and the actual survey questions can be found on the ODE website: https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/assessment/Pages/Student_Educational_Equity_Development_Survey.aspx
Copies of the opt-out form are available at the GHS main office.
