Dear North Eugene Families,
As we step into November, we’re excited to embrace the season of gratitude and reflection. This month brings with it opportunities for growth, connection, and learning, both inside and outside the classroom. We encourage you to take some time to discuss with your students the importance of community and thankfulness, especially as we approach the holiday season.
This Friday, students will have the day off so teachers can handle their mid-term grading. Please be on the lookout for grades in the mailbox.
Thank you for your continued support!
GO NORTH!

Pass/No Pass Information Prior to MidTerm Grades
Just a reminder that North Eugene High School offers the Pass/No Pass grading option for some classes.:
B. Pass/No Pass grading **P/NP is only available for the 24-25 school year. ** Agreement on a Pass/No Pass grading option must be agreed upon by student and teacher. A teacher or counselor must submit the Pass/No pass approval form no later than two weeks post quarter grading day. Courses with a P/NP grade do not have an impact on the GPA and they are not weighted. Students and Parents need to discuss the impact of a P/NP on a transcript with a teacher or counselor. There can be impacts of choosing this grading option on post-secondary education options. Once a P/NP grading option is agreed upon, that decision is final.
