An Oregon middle school held a Pride Spirit Week with themed dress-up days celebrating LGBTQ+ identities, but some parents say they weren’t informed in advance. Arts & Technology Academy in Eugene encouraged students to participate in daily activities, including Rainbow-Out Day, a day of remembrance, Drag Day, Queer Hero Day, and Pride Flag Friday.

While the district said the activities were tied to lessons on LGBTQ+ civil rights history, one parent told Fox News Digital they didn’t receive notice until Monday afternoon—after the events had already begun. Oregon law requires schools to notify parents ahead of any instruction involving human sexuality.

The Eugene School District acknowledged the late notice and said it would work to improve communication around future events. Officials stated that most activities didn’t fall under the category of human sexuality instruction, but admitted families should have been informed earlier.

The district emphasized its commitment to inclusivity, saying the week aligned with the state’s LGBTQ2SIA+ Student Success Plan, which promotes learning about marginalized communities. Eugene 4J has also taken a public stance supporting LGBTQ+ rights, including opposing federal policies limiting gender identity expression in schools.
