"Your vacation should be a pleasant experience for you and your family.
returning to a home that has been burglarized is a very unpleasant homecoming.
Your time away can be more enjoyable and carefree when you know your home is being watched."

The City of Eugene "Seniors on Patrol" program offers a free home check service while you are away. You will need to complete the attached form and get it to the Eugene Police at least a week before the start of your vacation. However, if you cannot do that, the brochure has a few tips to minimize the chances of an unpleasant homecoming.

The New Lancer Parent Association at Churchill High School

Last year the CHS Boosters reorganized into the Lancer Parent Association (LPA) and adopted new By-laws with an emphasis on communication with parents. LPA is free and open to any interested parent or guardian of a CHS student. LPA is a great way to connect to CHS administration, to sports and clubs, and to other parents. Principal Dennis Biggerstaff attends LPA meetings along with representatives from sports teams and clubs and Site Council. We are lucky to have this forum to connect and discuss school topics that affect your student. Meetings are held the first school Monday of each month in the Churchill High School library.

LPA is continuing a great tradition that the Boosters started which is to have a speaker at each meeting. Meetings will start at 6:30 p.m. for business, with speakers beginning at 7:00 p.m. In response to the tragic accident that took place on Bailey Hill Road in August, we are dedicating one meeting to discussing the parents’ role in encouraging safe driving. This meeting will be held in April when one of our speakers, Bob Bruce, is available. Bob is the driver’s education teacher that many Churchill students have had or will have if they participate in Oregon Driver Training Institute classes.

This is the schedule of meetings and planned topics for the next few months:

December 3:  Dennis Biggerstaff and Amy Adams-Shauer discuss education options available at CHS including CAM, IB, IB diploma, college credit through college now, AP classes and AP testing which may include college credit, and other options including LCC
January 14: teen alcohol and drug use
Feb 11: to be announced
March 3:  to be announced
April 7:  teen drivers and what parents can do encourage their teens to be good drivers. Driving Instructor Bob Bruce will be the speaker.
May 5: to be announced
