Medford School District Mission
We are a high-quality teaching and learning organization dedicated to preparing all students to graduate with a sound educational foundation, ready to succeed in post-secondary education, and to be contributing community members.
Lone Pine Elementary Mission
As a Lone Pine community, we are dedicated to creating and building upon a successful educational foundation while encouraging students to become safe, responsible, and respectful.
Lone Pine School History
Dating back to the 1850's, Lone Pine School has historically been a focus of leadership and excellence throughout Jackson County. A one-room building with white, shiplap siding and a red roof became the Red Top School of 1887, located on the hill along Lone Pine Road. The school, replacing small isolated structures from nearby sites, was also known and registered as Lone Pine School because of one lone pine tree in front of the fenced schoolyard.
From this typically rural American beginning has grown one of the largest and certainly one of the most respected elementary schools in the Medford area. The present sprawling campus of Lone Pine School overlooks a panoramic view of the Rogue Valley.
The Lone Pine staff has traditionally encouraged high academic goals to help set the pace of high standards of excellence in the Medford School District. Our students are not only nurtured toward academic excellence within the classroom but also through participation in extra-curricular events throughout the year. Lone Pine students have the opportunity to compete in the Geography Bee, Math League Press, Oregon Battle of the Books and a variety of other academic endeavors throughout the year. The overwhelming success and high attendance rates at our school barbeque, the Fall Fair and Celebration of Learning events also exemplify the tremendous parental and community support Lone Pine has long enjoyed.
The 32 students registered long ago in the Red Top School surely felt proud of their school and the strong parental influence that gave it a place of importance in their community. Through years of changes in buildings and enrollments, the larger and more encompassing Lone Pine School of today mirrors the same pride. Lone Pine School continues to kindle the spirit of learning and leadership that fuels a bright future for us all.

ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance (92% or greater) is expected at Lone Pine School. As in any occupation, it is important that your student “be on the job” each day, in order to receive maximum benefit from instruction and to develop responsibility. Excessive absences are a main cause of poor grades, disconnect from peers and lack of motivation and success in school. Students need to be in class at 7:50 a.m. in order to put items away and be ready at 7:55 a.m. for when instruction begins.
If your student is going to be absent, please call the school office at 541-842-3820 before 7:45 a.m. Because of Oregon state law, we will be calling you, if we don’t hear from you before this time. This number is available 24 hours a day, if leaving a message after hours please state your name, your students name and the reason for the absence. This is for the safety of your student. You should also request homework at this time, if your student will be out of school for more than one day. Homework requested before 9:00 a.m. will be ready in the office after 2:45 p.m. Please review the ‘Student Awards’ section (in the District Handbook) regarding attendance awards.
Please try to schedule appointments before or after school hours. All absences effect your student’s ability to stay caught up in school. It also effects your student’s connectedness to friends and teachers which has a significant impact on their school performance as well. These absences effect our overall state school rating.
STUDENTS LEAVING EARLY IN THE SCHOOL DAY
LEAVING DURING SCHOOL HOURS
It is in your student’s best educational interest to schedule appointments outside the school day. If your student must be picked up early, please send a note with your student, preferably a day before the expected departure. Upon your arrival we will gladly call your student to the office to meet you.
For safety and security reasons:
v Parents are not to pick up their student from the classroom during the school day.
v Instead, please go to the office and notify the office staff.
