Our School
Dear FRC Families
We continue to be committed to fostering an environment where students can succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. Our school improvement goals are to increase our average pass rates, reduce learning loss, and enhance college and career readiness. These goals reflect our belief in every student’s potential and our dedication to supporting their growth and success.
We recognize the importance of increasing engagement in the classroom. Our staff continually grows and changes to meet our students’ social, emotional, and cultural needs, but learning is a team endeavor. It’s essential that students come to school ready to learn and experience minimal distractions during instructional time. This is a reminder that cell phones should enhance learning, not hinder it. They should not be used during class time unless designated by the teacher.
Mission: Fir Ridge Campus delivers an educational experience that values, respects, and adapts to the unique needs, learning styles, and aspirations of every student, with a strong commitment to equity and inclusion.
Vision: Upon graduation, students will meet the required standards for a high school diploma and be equipped to explore career paths, develop strong character, and utilize problem-solving skills to make meaningful contributions to their communities.
Education is a cornerstone of society, and every student has inherent worth. Each learns at their own pace and in different ways, and all deserve a supportive environment where they feel safe, valued, and capable of success. We are committed to ensuring all students, regardless of background or identity, have equitable opportunities to thrive.
At Fir Ridge Campus, we are dedicated to:
- Ensuring the success of the learner through equitable access to resources and opportunities;
- Personalizing learning through goal-setting that reflects each student’s strengths and needs;
- Fostering an environment built on respect, responsibility, and citizenship, where all students are valued for their diverse identities;
- Preparing students for their future endeavors, empowering them to be positive, contributing members of society.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of teachers, staff, and mentors committed to helping your child succeed. Our partnerships with programs like Elevate Oregon and our use of data-driven strategies, guest speakers, and field trips will provide your child with a well-rounded and enriching educational experience.
We believe a strong partnership between home and school is key to student success. Your involvement is not just welcomed, but it’s encouraged and is integral to your child’s education. I encourage you to stay connected with us throughout the year, whether through our regular communications, attending school events, or reaching out to your child’s teachers and mentors. Your involvement and support make a significant difference in your child’s education.
Together, we will create a positive and empowering experience for all our students. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education.
Here’s to a successful and inspiring school year!
