Safety Protocols

McKenzie will continue to follow the COVID-19 protocols put in place during the school year. Students and staff will be required to maintain social distancing and wear masks when inside the building. Students will also be grouped into cohorts. Verbal screening upon entry will be required.

New this summer: Students and staff will be permitted to remove their masks when outside and maintain social distance. This includes recess time or upon approval of staff for mask breaks.

Go Eagles!
We're still missing a lot of devices from distance learning.

The hotspots have been turned off for the summer, but getting them back to us will allow us to build our new wireless network through Project Overcome!! We don’t want to delay.

We really need them for student use on campus and in the Blue River area. Please return them to your school office.


Pandemic EBT Support
Oregon has been approved to provide Pandemic EBT for the families of McKenzie during the 2020-21 school year. 

Pandemic EBT benefits will be provided retroactively from October 2020 through May 2021 and will be dispersed starting at the end of July 2021. All students are eligible for EBT Services. 

Some information moving forward: 

  • If a family did not receive Pandemic EBT benefits last year but may be newly eligible for free and reduced-price school meals due to changes in their income, please encourage them to fill out the free and reduced price meal application by June 20. If approved, they will receive Pandemic EBT benefits for the full 2020-2021 school year.
  • New cards will be mailed at the end of July and early August to each eligible child. If families received benefits last year, they will receive benefits for one student (the oldest child) on the card they were previously issued during the last round of P-EBT and receive new cards for other students in the household. If a household no longer has that card, they can request a new one by calling the ODHS card replacement line 1-855-328-6715 or email, OregonTrailCardDHS.Replacement@dhsoha.state.or.us. 
  • The benefit card will be mailed to the most recent address on file for the child’s school. If a family’s address has changed, please contact the child’s school district to update by July 20.


For further questions or assistance, please email- ebt.schoolmeals@dhsoha.state.or.us.
