Lost and Found: We have an abundance of lost items. They will be on racks outside of the office during school hours. All unclaimed items will be donated during winter break. We’d love for all the lost things to find their homes.
McCornack is getting a covered area added to the playground!: We are excited to announce that McCornack is adding a brand-new covered area to our back playground!

School Choice:
It’s School Choice Time
See what our schools offer!
In Eugene School District 4J, students may request to enroll in any school. School choice requests are accepted in an order determined by lottery.
January is school choice season: Virtual school choice visits and in-person school visits are scheduled in the month of January. 4J residents must submit a request form between January 15 and February 15 to be included in the annual school choice lottery. Non-district residents must submit a request form for an interdistrict transfer between March 1 and March 31 to be included in the lottery.
Who needs to apply: All students who wish to enroll in a new school other than their neighborhood school must submit a school choice request form. This includes:
incoming siblings of current students.
students who have moved out of our school neighborhood or the district and want to remain enrolled next year. Their enrollment is not automatic and not all schools are open to non-district resident transfer requests.
fifth grade students who want to enroll in a non-neighborhood middle school.
Who does not need to apply: If your student is already enrolled in our school and has not moved, you do not need to submit a request form to continue attending our school next year.
