2025/2026 Parent and Family Engagement & Partnership Survey:  

Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this survey. Your feedback will be used to inform our efforts to continually improve our district, our schools, and our partnership with parents to help students succeed.

If you have more than one student attending school in Eugene School District 4J and have had a different experience for different students, please fill out a separate survey for each student. That provides the schools with information specific to each student’s individual educational experience.

If you have questions or input regarding this survey, please call the Instruction Department at 541-790-7550. Once again, thank you for your time and input.

Esta encuesta también está disponible en español: ///SPANISH SURVEY LINK///

Caregivers of 5th grade students:

We are putting together a slide show for the upcoming 5th grade promotion and we need your help! 

Please send us:

1. A baby picture of your 5th grader

2. A picture of your child from this year (a current photo, school photo, etc)

If you would like to include pictures of your child and their friends throughout this year (or elementary years) you are welcome to also send a few photos that we can include in the slideshow. 

We would love to have pictures of all the kids to share! 

Please email your photos to mccornack5thgrade2026@gmail.com and include the child’s name in the subject line. The full slideshow will be shared with everyone after promotion.

5th Grade Parent Night at Kennedy Middle School: All incoming 6th grade students and families are invited to visit Kennedy Middle School for a parent informational night!  This is a great chance to hear from our 6th Grade Team, learn about electives and the middle school schedule, hear from our PTO, and ask questions!  We hope that you and your student will join us on May 19th at 6:00 pm! 

McCornack Carnival: SAVE the DATE! Thursday, June 4th from 6:00-8:00pm:

We need YOU to help make this fun family event a huge success. Here are some ways you can support this event and our school.

1. Volunteers: Each classroom will be responsible for a carnival game and will need at least 6 volunteers from the class to take shifts throughout the carnival. And there will be other volunteer opportunities to sign up for as well. A volunteer sign up was sent out via ParentSquare - CLICK HERE to view the sign up. Please find an hour that you can volunteer and you will receive FREE tickets as a thank you for taking time to help our carnival run smoothly.

2. Auction Baskets: Each grade-level is responsible to put together a themed basket for our auction. Please check your child's backpack for a yellow flier describing the theme that you can make donations for. Also, if you have any baskets or bins lying around that you could donate to assemble the items in, then that would be helpful too.

3. Business Donations for the Auction: If you or someone you know has an item or service from a local business that they can donate to our auction, then we will happily accept them. More information about this, including the EIN number, will be going out after spring break.

Do You Have Outdated Prescription Glasses around?  Ms. Swift’s daughters attend an annual “Animal Camp” hosted by their Grammy and Papa. Each year, the camp includes a community service project. This year, they are collecting outdated prescription glasses to donate to the Lions Club, where they will be refurbished and distributed to those in need.

You can drop off your outdated prescription glasses at the front office of McCornack Elementary. Thank you for supporting this wonderful cause!

Eugene Emeralds Ticket Vouchers - Sluggo Reading Program:

Thank you again for being part of our Reading Program this season! We loved having your school out at the ballpark and celebrating your students.

If your family isn’t able to attend McCornack’s Night on May 3rd or you’re looking for another fun night out together, we have some great upcoming options available:

Upcoming Game Options:

• May 24 – Lilo & Stitch Night

Reading Program vouchers can be used for any of these games, making it a great opportunity to enjoy a fun, family night at the ballpark.

Please note that vouchers must be redeemed for seats either online or at the box office. We recommend redeeming ahead of time so you can skip long lines and make your game day as easy and enjoyable as possible.

If you need help or have any questions, I’m always happy to help!

We hope to see you and your family back at the ballpark soon,
